Have you ever wondered where the water in your glass actually came
from? Billions of years ago, Earth wasn't a beautiful blue and
green planet—it was a glowing, two-thousand-degree ball of boiling
lava! There were zero oceans and definitely no swimming pools. So,
how did our planet get so wet? Join Mira and Finn on an epic
time-travel adventure to find out! You'll discover how giant "space
delivery trucks"—icy comets and asteroids—crashed into early Earth,
dropping off millions of tons of water! We'll track down a
microscopic 4.4-billion-year-old crystal that proves it rained for
millions of years. But that's not all! Fast forward to the time of
early humans, and learn the wild ways people survived before
kitchen sinks were invented. You'll hear about hunters carrying
water in giant ostrich eggs, farmers digging the very first wooden
wells, and ancient kings building thirty-mile-long stone water
bridges called aqueducts! Plus, get ready for a hilarious, slightly
gross fun fact: because Earth's water is constantly recycled, every
glass you drink might just contain ancient T-Rex pee! Grab your
water bottle and dive into history!
