Have you ever wondered how we even know about dinosaurs in the
first place? Join Mira and Finn from History's Not Boring as we
travel back to a windy, rainy seaside town in 1811 to find out!
Meet Mary Anning, a 12-year-old girl who spotted a giant, strange
skull sticking right out of a cliff. With her brother's help, she
dug up a massive 200-million-year-old sea monster called an
ichthyosaur! Mary spent her whole life finding incredible ancient
fossils, even though grown men often tried to take all the credit
for her hard work. But the story doesn't stop there! You'll also
discover how a scientist named Richard Owen finally invented the
word "dinosaur," which actually means "terrible lizard." Plus,
get ready for the craziest battle in science history: the
American Bone Wars! Imagine two rival grown-up scientists so
desperate to find more fossils that they started throwing
dynamite at each other's dig sites! Boom! Dig into this thrilling
adventure and learn how uncovering dead creatures taught us
everything we know about the ancient world. Let's get digging!
