10. Journey to 10,000 BC

Site score 2, IMDb score 3; Overall score= 5
Directed by David Padrusch
Year: 2008

David Padrusch’s film explores one of the most dramatic periods in our planet’s history. The period is marked by the extinction of mammoths and saber tooth tigers, as humans started colonizing North America. Mammoths were one of few food sources for the new inhabitants, and their hunt was one of the factors that contributed to their extinction. Try to imagine how hungry our predecessor must have been to go after a 10 ton animal armed with huge tusks with nothing but a wooden spear. Huge climate changes, brought upon by geological cataclysms, didn’t really help mammoths, designed to survive in bygone ice ages.
