0:01The 10-year anniversary edition
of our Human Era Calendar.
0:05This very special passion project has
become even more important to us this year.
0:09As a wave of cheap, low-effort
AI content floods the internet,
0:12it’s getting harder to compete with
our high-quality, human-made videos.
0:17But we would rather quit than make AI Slop.
0:20If you want to help us keep this project alive,
0:22getting the 12,026 Human Era
Calendar is the best way to do it.
0:27It’s designed to fill your home with a year's worth
of kurzgesagt art – but it’s much more than that.
0:33It’s an ode to humanity and human ingenuity.
0:37This calendar reframes time
itself by starting not 2,000,
0:41but 12,000 years ago – at the
dawn of human civilization.
0:46This way, 10,000 more years of
our shared past and incredible
0:49achievements of our ancestors
become part of our timeline.
0:53You can use it just like a regular
calendar – but it could change how
0:57you see your place in history, and
how far we’ve all come as a species.
1:01This time, we’ve collected 12 inspiring
stories about our special connection to
1:06the stars – from the first creature
to ever glance up at the night sky,
1:10to ancient models of our cosmos – way
into humanity's future among the stars.
1:16Each vibrant illustration is printed
on high-quality paper with plenty of
1:20space to plan your days or record
your adventures in the year 12,026.
1:25And because this is our 10-year calendar
anniversary, we’ve gone all out:
1:30we created the first-ever kurzgesagt artbook:
1:33a vibrant, jam-packed collection of every
calendar illustration we’ve ever made.
1:38That’s 120 pages, and 10 years of
kurzgesagt art in one giant book.
1:45It’s also packed with behind-the-scenes sketches,
stories, and fun facts from the kurzgesagt team.
1:52Just like our videos, our products aren’t
churned out by a soulless algorithm.
1:56They’re made with love by real humans,
who spend countless hours researching,
2:01illustrating, and designing
things that we hope you’ll love.
2:05So if you value real,
human-made content over AI Slop:
2:10Join us and our global community of Birbs who
2:13get the calendar every year and
help us keep kurzgesagt afloat.
2:17Together we’ll ride out the slop wave.
2:20The calendar and artbook are available
now, only while supplies last.
2:25They also make a perfect gift for
any kurzgesagt birb in your life
2:29– or just for yourself.
