What If the First Civilization Disappeared When Pangea Split? | Documentary For Sleep

Tonight on Just About Earth, we’re drifting back to a time when the world itself began to break apart. What if the first civilization lived on Pangea — and disappeared as the continents slowly split and drifted away from one another? As oceans opened, climates changed, and landmasses moved beyond recognition, could their cities, knowledge, and traces have been scattered, buried, or erased entirely? In this gentle documentary for sleep, we wander through deep time, tectonic forces, and quiet possibilities, imagining how a civilization might fade as the Earth reshaped itself beneath their feet.

This video is part of a peaceful space for science to fall asleep to — soft documentaries for sleep and calming science facts to rest with. If your mind finds comfort in slow reflections on lost worlds and shifting continents, you’re in the right place.

Where are you watching from tonight — and what time is it where you are? I always love reading your check-ins. They feel like small lights glowing across continents that were once one.

If this helped ease your thoughts or gave your imagination something ancient and gentle to wander through, feel free to like, subscribe, or simply close your eyes — knowing that some histories may have been pulled apart along with the land itself.

Wishing you stillness,
beneath the quiet memory of a world divided.
