The Prehistory Journal

The Prehistory Journal

Slow history for a restless world.

The Prehistory Journal explores humanity’s deepest past — long before writing, cities, or recorded memory. Our long-form videos are designed to help you unwind, focus, or fall asleep through calm, immersive storytelling.

We cover early humans and Neanderthals, Ice Age survival and extinction events, ancient DNA discoveries, and prehistoric mysteries often left out of textbooks.

Each documentary is intentionally unhurried. No loud music. No jump cuts. No forced excitement — just quiet narratives you can let play while resting or studying.

We use modern tools, including AI, to assist with research, narration, and imagery, while shaping every story to feel human, thoughtful, and respectful of history. These videos are created for relaxation and exploration, not as formal academic sources. Visuals are artistic impressions.

If you enjoy history that feels quiet, deep, and timeless, you’re in the right place.
