    WE BRING DEEP TIME
    INTO LIGHT.

    Long before human civilization, Earth flourished as an interconnected organism of massive scale and untouched natural beauty. We synthesize cinematic visualization, paleobiology, and immersive web tech to render these forgotten eras.

    THROUGH THE
    DEEP ERAS.

    01 — MesozoicPangaea

    Triassic Period

    252 — 201 MYA

    Dawn of early archosaurs and continental Pangaea. Life rebuilds after the largest extinction on record; arid interiors and monsoon coasts split the supercontinent's climate in two.

    CoelophysisPlateosaurusCynodonts
    02 — MesozoicLaurasia / Gondwana

    Jurassic Period

    201 — 145 MYA

    Golden age of sauropods and dense coniferous biomes. Rifting floods the interior with shallow seas; canopy height and body mass climb together across 56 million years.

    BrachiosaurusAllosaurusAraucaria
    03 — MesozoicAngiosperm rise

    Cretaceous Period

    145 — 66 MYA

    Flowering plants, marine reptiles, and apex predators. Pollinator co-evolution rewrites the forest floor, and the era closes in iridium dust at the K–Pg boundary.

    TyrannosaurusMosasaurusMagnolia
    04 — CenozoicGrassland spread

    Paleogene & Neogene

    66 — 2.5 MYA

    Rise of megafauna and vast grassland ecosystems. Mammals fill the vacated niches, C4 grasses cool the planet, and the modern continental map settles into place.
