Aftermath - When the Earth Stops Spinning




Today on Far Future Horizons we explore the dire consequences if the Earth were to gradually stop spinning on its axis.


In this catastrophic scenario the spin of the Earth starts slowing down dramatically and is estimated Earth would stop spinning in as little as five years. The first effect is the isolation between the Global Positioning System satellites and ground-based atomic clocks. Then the all-day, all-night stock markets crash because the day is longer than 24 hours.




Over billions of years, our planet has developed into an intricate ecosystem, capable of sustaining life. But what would the outcome be if we were confronted by scenarios of apocalyptic proportions? Aftermath examines how we would cope in the event of various natural and man-made happenings on an epic scale. Imagining extreme scenarios, this four-part series looks at how the entire world would prepare for the end of time.

Göbekli Tepe - The World’s First Temple



We used to think agriculture gave rise to cities and later to writing, art, and religion. Now the world’s oldest temple suggests the urge to worship sparked civilization.



The 11,500 year old Göbekli Tepe temple complex in Turkey was unearthed in 1995 by a team of archaeologists led by Klaus Schmidt of the German Archaeological Institute of Istanbul. 



Göbekli Tepe represents one of the most exciting discoveries in Turkish archaeology this century. It currently stands as the oldest known Megalithic Temple complex in the world (9,000 BC). 




This archaeological find could represent the one location in time and space where humanity first lit the spark of civilization that led mankind towards farming, urban life and all that followed. It is the one great find of the Twentieth Century that could rewrite the whole of human history.


  
Today on Far Future Horizons we present the National Geographic Channel’s documentary Lost Civilization and join a team of archaeologists to unearth the treasures of this mysterious and enigmatic archaeological site.
