Bangkok--31 Jul--Image Impact Program Title: Journey to 10,000 BC Telecast date: Sunday, August 3, 2008 Telecast Time: 6.00 p.m. (Thai) Seven prehistoric hunters track an unseen prey. Armed with long wooden spears with razor sharp stone points, they follow enormous footprints in the snow. The hunters are desperate to secure meat to feed their tribe for the long terrible winter, a winter which seems endless. Rounding a boulder, they spy their prize. Nearly twelve feet at its highest point, the mighty beast weighs nearly ten tons. Frightened eyes swim in a sea of dark wooly fur. The enormous animals rears, two ivory trunks stabbing the sky... The creature is a Woolly Mammoth. It is 10,000 BC... and the hunt is on. It is a time of fantastic change on earth...early humans are just beginning to inhabit North America(Clovis people)...great climate fluctuations swing the world back into a mini-Ice Age...many megafauna like the sabertooth cat, the giant ground sloth, the camel and the woolly mammoth are suddenly becoming extinct. What is causing these sudden changes...overhunting...a mysterious disease...a meteor? What species cope and adapt? How does man survive? In a forensic investigation, we will travel with scientists to major mammoth and early human archaeological sites in North America and uncover fossilized bones, ancient homes, and weapons of stone. Using state of the art green-screen computer animation we will re-create the great mammoth hunts of the time, watch as mighty glaciers grow and recede, and re-create the most recent theory on what caused the events of the time period...an extra terrestrial impact of a comet smashing into the Earth.
