What are mega-tsunamis? What happens when you have millions of years of rain? Visual effects, location filming and stunning aerial photography bring viewers back 4.5 billion years to enjoy a unique window on our world. How the Earth Was Made peels back time like layers of rock to reveal the origins of the place we call home.

At the 4 minute mark, the dude is wasting water by just dumping it out on the ground to show us how little rain they get compared to other places. He could just tell us the difference. We aren’t stupid. He could show a graph to us. No. Dude decides that the only way we can understand how dry it is there is to dump water onto the ground.
Wait, is the History channel actually NOT talking about aliens?!
Man and women scientists in the desert. Nice!
Ummm excuse me, if the atacama is 150 million years old, then it would of been formed long before it got to its current location.
I watched a documentary yesterday that says the Sahara was the driest place on earth. It was on a History Channel Documentary.
Why is that area ‘closely guarded’?
Already this is fake news, we all know the driest place on earth is Ben Shapiro’a wife
The driest place on Earth is Ben Shapiro’s bed. End Of Video
I think I’m in love with Dr Laura 🥰
Did he just pour a cup of water on the ground?
Good video but you will be inundated with mid roll ads blaring out every few minutes
Fairy tale time
Still not as dry as my mouth after drinking Aquafina
“Despite modern views of the Atacama Desert as fully devoid of vegetation, in pre-Columbian and colonial times a large flatland area there known as Pampa del Tamarugal was a woodland, but demand for firewood associated with silver and saltpeter mining in the 18th and 19th centuries resulted in widespread deforestation.” ‑Wikipedia
Marisa is the hottest government scientist I’ve ever seen ❤️
How much rain/snow does the desert in Antarctica recurve?
4.5 billion year old planet and we only get 80 years to live on it if we are lucky
This guy just inadvertently changed the amount of water in the desert when he was explaining how brittle the gypsum is..
Try living in riverside county, lol
My sisters pregnant 🎉🎉🎉 we’re having a baby
I can’t be the only one upset that he poured all that water on the floor in the driest place on the earth!
An absolutely amazing place! Great doc!
Mars has no magneticsphere. To much radiation that has drenched the surface for millions of years is making the chances of microorganisms very rare. Not saying completely impossible. I really wish the future missions to that beautiful red dot in the night sky flourish with sucess.
GET ONE THING STRAIGHT, NO MILLIONS THOUSANDS, OF YRS, DON’T LET THE DEVIL 😈 FOOL YOU„
Is it possible that all the natural forces on earth will turn to a full stop? What will happen?
OMG, those microbes in the salt was likely deposited when the ocean water evaporated!!! Mind blown 🤯!!! Like a box of Arm & Hammer sitting out in the open yet never washed away!
Mcmurdo Valley in Antarctica is the driest place on earth.
could easily do a documentary of my bedroom for far cheaper then traveling the planet
I live in the mojave desert outside JTNP. We have humidity below 10% out here regularly. Now, this was from several years ago, so maybe it’s been updated. It’s gotten down to 3% here and stays around 6% until the monsoons move in. And even then it will be at like 12%rh
41:13 Atacama desert
So to illustrate how much rain fall he dumps precious water out on the ground.
Being half peruvian..I visited for 3 months..
I thought Antarctica had a drier desert
A new twist for an excuse to cut down trees, they call it bog but it’s oil.
Absolutely amazing to learn how the earth was made and thanks to the scientists.
Dude wore an Alaska hat in the driest desert on earth
The man just poured out 3 centuries of rainfall…on the ground, I wonder what the ground was thinking.
Thanks to this place, nasa gave us our photos of mars.
Gee. You mean there was “climate change” before humans existed on earth. Impossible??
I never heard of this place. Interesting!
