Synopsis
In the first episode of a series looking at the formation of the earth's continents, geologist Prof Iain Stewart shows how Africa was created from the wreckage of a long-lost supercontinent. He discovers clues in its spectacular landmarks, mineral wealth and iconic wildlife, which help piece together the story of Africa's formation. But he also shows how this deep history has left its mark on the modern day Africa and the world. Iain starts at Victoria Falls, created by vast volcanic eruptions 180 million years ago. Scrambling up the sides of the pyramids of Giza in Egypt, Iain finds small marine creatures that reveal that this part of Africa was once a shallow sea that formed when Africa was created. And within the arid Western Desert, he reveals 17m-long skeletons of early whales buried in the sand.
