Long before oceans covered the Earth… before the first tree grew from the soil… before even the earliest forms of life existed… our planet was a world of fire.
A violent, molten sphere drifting through the darkness of space.
Modern science tells us that Earth formed around 4.5 billion years ago, born from collapsing clouds of dust and gas surrounding the young Sun. In those unimaginable early ages, the planet was almost unrecognizable compared to the world we know today.
The skies were toxic.
The oceans did not yet exist.
Rain had never fallen.
And beneath a storm-filled atmosphere, rivers of molten rock flowed endlessly across the surface.
The Earth we stand upon today was forged through chaos, heat, pressure, and time beyond human imagination.
“The present is the ever moving shadow that divides yesterday from tomorrow.”
— Frank Lloyd Wright
A Planet Born from Fire
Scientists believe the Sun and planets were formed from an enormous rotating cloud of gas and cosmic dust known as a nebula.
Over millions of years, gravity slowly pulled this material together. The center became our Sun, while the remaining matter collided violently to form planets, moons, and asteroids.
