What the...this guy sounds just like me...th-cam.com/channels/1NFsEXn4RrupAUH1h-m_vg.html
Nice, will watch! And I also liked the part about the fauna here :)
bible pre-flood world...pre-flood people against swamps and trees/forests...nothing new in history.
I feel that the Carboniferous period was more like the toxic jungle/sea of decay from nausicaa of the valley of the wind than the chasm from King Kong.
Wa hahahaha
yo dat shit creepy fam.
how some dude stole your voice like that. 🥺
Ah yes, the Carboniferous. My absolute favorite geologic period. Why?
We’ve got:
-Cat-sized scorpions
-Person-sized millipedes
-Hawk-sized dragonflies
-Seal-sized “sea cockroaches”
-Weird strange huge amphibians that probably aren’t safe to touch
-“Sharks” that can’t decide whether teeth should be in their mouths or on their dorsal fins
-Oh, and everything looks like Florida on roids.
What’s not to love?
i was born in the wrong time 😢😭
I'd add our early reptile ancestors on this list
@@tvbnine793You mean mammals?
If you're in a hurry to sketch some filler for a Death World you can just copy this period.
Dude when Nicole called it "nature's acid trip" I've never referred to it as anything different since 😂😂 it's so God damn accurate
Just imagine how many giant invertebrates from the Carboniferous didn't get to be fossilized. Lots of possibilities.
Maybe an actual giant spider that we have yet to find or even a giant centipede comparable in size to the centipedes from World of Kong.
@@ChicagoScorpionLook up the Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess Skulltula and look at how it big it looks when it’s close to Link to get an idea of how it’s size would compare to an average sized man and it looks fairly realistic as well, I could honestly imagine a spider that big living in the Carboniferous, it’s not gigantic in an exaggerated sense but it’s not small either and it’s somewhat close to Arthropleura in size, making it seem like a realistic possibility that something similar to a spider like that could’ve actually existed, I’d estimate that the spider probably looks close to 5 feet tall and maybe 7-8 feet in length, imagine encountering that and if they turned out to be venomous as well…and possibly just getting bitten by the likely huge fangs it would’ve possessed even without taking venom into consideration would potentially be enough to kill a person because of how deeply they would penetrate into flesh.
@@Azureblue25 yeah or a spider the size of the jumping spiders from the movie Eight Legged Freaks (iykyk)
@@ChicagoScorpionIdk I kinda love the idea of the biggest spider being the golialth alive today makes spiders more cooler as they could be still growing
@@ChicagoScorpion ahhhh man I loved that movie as a kid, used to watch it on VHS all the damn time, such a great film, funny as hell! Thanks for reminding me

"If you find yourself back in the Carboniferous, it's best to avoid Scotland."
Timeless advice, my friend. Timeless.
but why Scotland?
@@renz3179Have you seen arthroplera footprint fossils
And mind you Scotland is the most redeemable part of the UK.
@@carrieswanson5475what happened to wales? Havent heard of them in a while.
@@fraskf6765 Nor have we. It's not worth the hassle trying to read their road signs so we just sort of let them get on with it.

These giant flying insects are scary to look at but can you imagine the *sound* they would make while flying circles around you while they dicide if they can eat you or not?
It would sound like a bunch of black hawk helicopters
omggggg 💀
Fun fact: if you were to travel back in time to the Carboniferous period and encounter Pulmonoscorpius and it stings you, its venom would have little effect on you since there were no mammals at that time for its venom to evolve on to kill. There also wouldn't be any mosquitoes at that time, either despite it being a massive swampland since they haven't evolved yet. Also, wildfire would be more intense than today due to the abundance of oxygen.
I want to add that we would die anyway. The high oxygen level would kill us in minutes.
@stillnoname840 We also can't breathe oxygen this concentrated without things like nitrogen to dilute it.
@@stillnoname840 saw a video a few months ago that said we probably couldn't breath the air until around 100 million years ago at the earliest
@@stillnoname840I’m not sure this is true, around 35% oxygen isn’t high enough to cause toxicity. It’s getting close, but not quite there. Oxygen levels on earth peaked at around that percentage. It could be a challenge to acclimate, but it wouldn’t kill you.
@@stillnoname840 We can literally breathe pure 100% oxygen at twice the atmospheric pressure for 2 hours just fine with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The 35% oxygen level of the Late Carboniferous wouldn’t be deadly to us at all.
Stuff like this is exactly why I heavily prefer Jackson's kong over the later 2017 reboot. The attention to detail he took to craft a realistic primitive world really is commendable.
There was a 2017? I only know the 1933, 1976 and 2004. 2017 must be forgettable, never heard of it, and I'm an amateur movie historian.

If you lived back then you wouldn't need to go hiking since every day would be a fight for survival in the forest
Underrated time period. There needs to be more media coverage of this, not just walking with monsters
imagine that worm scene happens to the guy Infront of you in line at the grocery store you'd be like screw this I am getting out of here🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You didn't talk about how the higher oxygen percentage in the atmosphere was the cause for the giant bugs
or why even, would be super interested in how they circulated oxygen throughout their bodies
@@seanleech3339 they have much less efficient breathing involving loads of tubes all around their body rather than lungs
I feel like most of us that watch this channel knows this 😅 bunch of nerds here but you right he did not
@@seanleech3339what spartan said + today's oxygen level couldn't support these massive sizes due to their "primitive" tube-system.
@@stillnoname840 its all more or less a lie
if our modern oxygen level could not
funny how giant centipedes exist and huge tarantulas all togehter iwth a lot of small insects
thers also beetles bigger then certain birds or mice
it has a lot more to do of competing for resources
back in the carbon there wanst much around , insects/bugs where almsot the only ones on land and the only ones who can fly
so you can be big and resourc consuming cause nothign will fight over it with you
today ,,thers so many diffrent animals around that it makes no sense for an insect to be large and try to competet with other animals for a certain niche
These videos are so funny cause in most cases they have both the best and worst possible depictions of an extinct animal
Yeah its really a 50/50 accuracy of depiction with these animals lmao
I@@Vallibonavenitrix I mean we can't really know how accurate any of them are without a time machine to see the creatures in real life. It's all guesswork on some level.

Those worms traumatized me as a kid 😂
Those worms traumatized me and my husband when we saw it in the movie theater. Now when we watch the movie, we skip that scene. 😲😱🤮
Those definetly are some freaky ass worms
Same I was like 😧 age 10
Thank god they could never get that big in reality. There's just too many physical constraints working against their evolution like oxygen availability, surface:volume limits, Earth's gravity and necessity to grow that big.
@Zoki4444 there's too many physical constraints working against them....... right guys?
I’ll take big millipedes over regular cockroaches any day.
Both are gonna give me a heart attack anyway. You might as well take on the big millipede to go out like a badass.
@@elcristianG-G well then you'd die an idiot trying to fight a herbivorous animal that literally does not posess any intelligence to attack
There were sparrow sized roaches too
when you say take, do you mean fight or make love to?
@@tigrecito48 Fight
A time when even the world wanted to burn everything down after seeing how many crawlies it had on it
Just imagine if Megarachne was still a giant Spider, the Carboniferous would be even more terrifying, then again there almost certainly giant Spiders around during that time.
Spiders are a lot trickier to find since their exoskeleton is not as sturdy as scorpions or millipedes to leave fossils behind. The best bet is to find them preserved in amber. But scientists speculate that there were cat sized robust tarantulas during this period too.
@@exeterra4825
So basically what we thought Megarachne was likely did exist, it’s just Megarachne itself was not.
No it is not very likely, spiders were a pretty new group at that time.
I think people are simplifying the entire Arachnid clade into the term "spider". I think its fairly likely that there were some large Arachnids (Excluding "Scorpionoids"), they just wouldn't have been spiders in the traditional sense. Haha. (There were definitely large Chelicerates though, if we want to bastardize the term "Spider" even more, Sea Scorpions being the best example. Which ironically enough is what Megarachne was. Lmao.) @@promaster4758
Obviously we can only base this on the discoveries so far but the largest spider known to have ever existed is not some Carboniferous giant
It is the goliath bird eating spider found in the Amazon today
Sometimes reality is scarier than fiction....
I am well past 70, and I think the 2005 "King Kong" was a terrific film, my favorite of the 3 versions. As for the Carboniferous, it doesn't appear in too many videos, and isn't publicized as much as the Jurassic and Cretaceous, and the video was informative.
Too bad the Romans hunted T-Rex to extinction.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex (T-Rex) died out 66 Million Years Ago, when an asteroid hit Mexico, causing a mass extinction.
@@bayaderbawyan3190 Haven’t you heard of T-Rex Maximus?
lol Alexander spoke of dragons larger than man and towering over the trees able to step on or tear a man in half in India and northern parts of Africa
@@chadwickmacarthur4760 Yup, everyone knows humans hunted these dangerous animals to extinction.
@@Radhaugo108 uhhh no
This video is a MASTERCLASS in title + thumbnail. The video barely has anything to do with King Kong, but the title and thumb compel you to click, and watch at least a minute.
This is still probably one of the scariest scenes in anything ive ever seen. The regular insects were fine. The worms swallowing that guy, tearing him apart and dragging him into their burrows is still beyond horrifying.
THIS SCENE TRAUMATIZED ME LOL 😂😂😂
Me too 😂😂😂.....i was sweating like crazy when i first saw this
I always had to skip past that scene because it was so damn disturbing! 😂
This 'King Kong' film is the absolute best to date, and I knew this back when it first debuted in 'o5. I was only a high schooler, but I knew that this film was epic in the sense of its C.G.I., special effects, plot line, delivery & execution, and casting. There aren't too many things that I like Jack Black in', but he absolutely destroyed' his role (in this in the best way possible-colloquially, this is a good thing). But the woman who played Anna is so much the shining star in this film. Focusing-in on the C.G.I. & special effects of the film, it is unmistakable the amount of effort put into making the concepts and schemes of this movie come to life. Not only is Kong positively stunning and realistic in every frame, but even the sides characters, or creatures, that have such little roles in the film seem to have taken so much artistic ability and meticulous crafting. This bug scene reaffirmed my phobia of worms and worm-like creatures.
Oh, my goodness! There's no wonder the film was so great in these categories-(unbeknownst to me) it was a work of Peter Jackson!
I remember seeing that scene as a little boy in theatres, stuck with me ever since.
Wasn't expecting this to be a video about the Carboniferous era, but I'm pleasantly surprised.
The description of that era looks so alienlike I feel like its something out of a video game
Kevin Hart catching strays in a bug video
Bro couldn’t catch a stray if he tried- he’s like 5’2, any throw that’s not dead center he’s gunna miss
"it was the size of 6 hefty watermelons" You lost me when you started using imperial.
I watched that scene with the bugs when i was 13 years old. It did creep me out so much, even today this scene is hard for me
4:50
Never underestimate an herbivore’s ability to defend itself.
Carboniferous Park when?
I still cant fathom amphibians being this massive, otherwise great vid!
Prob the most disturbing scene almost out of all movies ive seen and still to this day this scene creeps into my mind and yeah forget it and greatly appreciated. lol.
Yikes! Definitely not going back to that era 🐜🕰
If you don't like that head-eating scene, google leeches eating frogs... :D
Nope! Never gonna do that!
Edit: Couldn't resist. It exists no words to describe such atrocity, we are in hell😱😱😱
@@renacleerican7824now I'm curious but idk
@@kevinmontoya43 please don't!
@@renacleerican7824 honestly,nowhere near as disturbing as the king kong scene
love king kong, literally a whole new world, and they succeed showing that on screen
I watched this movie when I was little, I always watch once in a while. You feel the love of Peter Jackson in every scene, you can see how much he loved the original
Arthropleura may look terrifying & is often portrayed in Palaeomedia as a monster Millipede or Centipede, in actuality it would’ve been a docile animal, since it had no natural predators.
We don't actually know that for sure. And it had armor for a reason
@@justinterry2926 It just probably had predators only when it small, after growing to a certain size it was literally the largest terrestrial animal on the planet
Some giant amphibians that were the size of crocodile at that time could still pose a threat even to adult arthropleura if it wandered into their territory.
@@notoriousbigmoai1125 you mean the ones who spend all their life in the water or close to it while Arthropleura lived in more open areas and not in swamps like it's always depicted? Alright 😂
@Fede_99 Did you even watch the video? Some amphibians actually have strong limbs and can move pretty well on land. Also, if flooding was to occur (which happened quite often at that time), Arthropleura would find itself crossing path into these giant amphibians or fish.
Grisly and seriously disturbing scene.
These shits gave me nightmares for days when i was a kid
This is one of the best movies that just was lost to time from a general title, I hope future generations don't pass it up.
this scene lives rent free in my head since i was a kid and contributed to my crippling fear of worms
The leeches ATE
I love these “worst places in prehistory to time travel videos!” Please keep them coming. P.S. You might also consider a video on safest prehistoric places to time travel as well!
This scene has to be where my entomophobia derived from
Not only is the movie one of the best. The video game on PS2 was incredible as well. Both nightmare fuel for me as a kid but playing and watching the movie later on. Made me realize how good both media’s are.
My nightmare fuel is that crack they fell in in that movie
In the XBOX 360/PlayStation 2/Nintendo GameCube game of Peter Jackson's King Kong movie, the giant centipedes scare me more than the dinosaurs do, know why? Because sometimes they hide in holes in stone walls, and you have to stand a good distance away and look really carefully to see their heads and shoot them or throw a spear at their heads, otherwise when you walk by a hole with a giant centipede waiting to jump out at you, you will get the WORST JUMPSCARE OF YOUR LIFE. 5:44 There are scorpions big as adult cats in the game, but they are not as dangerous as the giant centipedes, one spear or sharp bone fragment can easily kill them, but still don't underestimate them.
Amazing scene.
The rescue party with the ropes and tommy guns is epic
An interesting thing i learned from my bio professor. Scorpions who have smaller chela (pincers) are most likely have a more painful venom in order to subdue their prey while those woth bigger and giant chela (pincers) dont have much as a potent venom in their stingers as you mentioned. They can tear their prey apart with their strong chela (pincers)
Hello
Love the insect world 🤣🤣
7:08 wow, that beef had to be serious if they were ready to square up on top of a crocodile
13:20
Imagine enjoying a fishing trip on a river, then this absolute unit takes the bait
Bro went back in time to confirm
king kong video game based off this was badass
Lmfao 😂😂 the title has me laughing because of how much my mom has got traumatized by that scene. Im sending this to her right away 😂😂😂 she gonna be mad
Great Channel. I find this time in pre history fascinating. The insect scene from the film is probably the highlight of that movie.
Turns out that Starship Troopers is more of a "Past Earth meets Future Earth" thing.
I love the carboniferous.... my beloved little guys. I praise their names when I use fossil fuels (/mostly joking)
millipedes look like amazing pets bro they would
just be chill asf and imagine you had other pets they would just ride it
I remember this scene absolutely terrifying and fascinating me when I was 8 years old, lol. Great scene, and it's crazy that it's not far off from reality at one point in Earth's history.
Imagine if there was giant mosquito.
This scene traumatized me as a kid lol
Really well done. Enjoyed that (and being alive in this time period).
Excellent video- thank you for that summary with excellent visuals
*Democracy intensifies*
So many convergent evolutions.
This scene almost made me throw up as a kid….and now at almost 27 it still makes me almost throw up 😂😂
I saw this thumbnail yesterday but didn’t watch and it gave me nightmares anyway so now that I’ve watched this there’s no telling what awaits me as I sleep tonight.
12:37 fish with the surprised expression. idk y that tickled me so.
"Oh dear, i seem to be getting mauled to death."
I would've loved this time period
(Im afraid of bugs and insects.)
Its 2 am and im just absolutely living for it man
that scene was so horrifying i erased it from memory until this video reminds me of it
so thanks
😂
Yay the carboniferous period my favorite time period.
They didn't even have wifi.
My WIP novel is set in an AU Carboniferous. Imagine this but everything has evolved to use magic. I just dropped a bunch of technically harmless to humans, tailless whip scorpions on my party. That chapter wrote itself.
*That Sounds So Darn Awesome Dude. I Would Totally Read It Dude📚.*
Dude I loved this movie so much. I even love the beginning portion where they follow/introduce all the characters throughout New York. It got so much hate when it first came out, the video game was awesome too. My favorite scene is when King Kong fights the two Dinosaurs and after he smokes them he grabs one and starts clamping its jaws open and shut like "Yeah lets see you bite anything now foo". This was my second favorite scene even though it made me cringe in disgust the first few times I watched it. I hated how the cook got taken out.
I literally felt sick in the movie theater when I saw this. This scene stayed with me for weeks/months. So traumatizing.
The spider pit the best way to condemn our most sadistic criminals to be bug food
i thought the reason most coal was produced was cos there was a period where nothing could break down trees and so there was just huge amounts of unrotten plant matter building up which caused a huge problem for life, then suddenly evolved a fungi or bacteria that could finally break down trees/woody material... or am i getting mixed up with another period of pre history? ive read lots of stuff but i have a bad memory
One of the most underrated movies of all time
I can’t escape this video being in my recommendation, so time to watch
The worm pit in the Jack Black King Kong Movie awoke something in me...
Bruh that scene alone probably woke up lots of dirty minds it's to the point where even if your mind is clean you still probably imagined what it was
Chronic title changer
I'm a ark player so I say that this video is awesome and "heart warming"😅
earliest ive made it to a new post lol heck ya
In my opinion this is one of my favorite stages of life on earth
My other 4 are the Permian, Triassic, Jurrasic, and Cretaceous
9:48 That's Flygon
very interesting and well executed
For a bit, I thought the title of the video said “King Kong incest scene” and I literally went “WHAT!?!” Lmao
i always wondered how that worms managed to eat him.
It was a bad idea to watch this while eating
Nice to see Megaguirus and the Meganula terrorize other insects back in the day
9:52 did those ones evolve into mosquitos?
Carboniferous Giant bugs also That arthropluera Meganuera pulmonscorpius and other lived there age of coal
Oh, sweet, I forgot just how gut-wrenching and traumatizing that scene was, thanks!
i like to imagine many worlds are out there right now like this waiting for us to drop in and say hello... then promptly leave
WATERMELONS?
Griffinflies is a dumb name because in every legend I've ever heard of, Gryphons are smaller than Dragons. If anything deserves the named after a Dragon, it's Meganisoptera.
Actually, they're named after Peter Griffin, who, as you may have noticed, is not exactly compact.
I loved that scene. It was beautiful.
What scene
It’s funny you mention the Carboniferous, I live in Allegheny County Pennsylvania and the whole county is Carboniferous sediment from 316 myo to 299-298 myo. I fossil hunt western Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The Sandstone river sedimentary rocks on the top of the hills are loaded with trace fossils of all the plants and some animals, the swamp coal is packed with plants and some insect fossils that I even have found a few. The fresh water limestone is mainly in the Monongahela formation and Dunkard to the south part of the state and West Virginia. We have in the Glenshaw formation a few ocean and marine sediments starting with Ames limestone then Pine Creek and the Brush Creek. All the marine sediments are packed with crinoids and other shelled animals and some shark teeth. I’ve found trace fossils of amphibians in my home town to Monroeville and I’ve donated them to the museum. I’ve found a partly complete trace fossil of an Arthropleura but since it’s not an organic fossil and just imprints they didn’t want it. I’ve found all kinds of interesting stuff even in Ohio. Eryops also has earlier relatives that have been found in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio and eastern Kentucky but the beginning of Permian aged rocks can be found in south Eastern Ohio and most of West Virginia and starting in Washington County through Greene County Pa with some Dunkard group being found in Maryland. It’s all between 294 MYO to 300 MYO in age making it complicated because there’s no marine sediment to break it up like the Casselman formation but the Casselman has the Glenshaw formation Ames limestone at the bottom and the Pittsburgh coal Monongahela formation on top. Dunkard is the end of the Carboniferous and beginning of the Permian with the largest coal beds next to the Pittsburgh coal bed. The beginning of the Permian in the Appalachian basin stayed swampy with huge lakes and rivers like the middle to end of the Carboniferous starting from the Allegheny formation but after the Glenshaw formation there were no more marine or marginal marine deposits from Casselman formation til the Greene Formation Permian 294 million years in age
