Earth 10000 BCE. Enjoy a stone age adventure. The 10th millennium BC spanned the years 10,000 BC to 9001 BC. It marks the beginning of the transition from the Palaeolithic to the Neolithic via the interim Mesolithic (Northern Europe and Western Europe) and Epipaleolithic (Levant and Near East) periods, which together form the first part of the Holocene epoch that is generally believed to have begun c. 9700 BC and is the current geological epoch.

Africa
A vast savanna landscape in the Sahara transformed by the African Humid Period, featuring lush grasslands, extensive river networks, and massive paleolakes like Lake Mega-Chad, teeming with diverse wildlife and early human settlements.
Antarctic Ocean
A vast, icy ocean dominated by retreating glacial ice shelves and seasonal sea ice, featuring colossal icebergs and nutrient-rich waters supporting a thriving prehistoric marine ecosystem.
Antarctica
A vast, icy continent entirely covered by a colossal ice sheet, with dynamic coastal margins where ice is retreating and forming floating shelves amid a warming climate. The land is devoid of flora, fauna, and human presence, inhabited only by microbial life within the ice and subglacial lakes.
Arctic Ocean
A vast, cold ocean basin dominated by stratified fresh and saltwater layers, chaotic sea ice, and dynamic coastlines shaped by melting ice sheets and lower sea levels, supporting resilient marine and coastal life.
Asia
A vast and diverse landscape reflecting Asia in 10,000 BCE, featuring retreating ice sheets in Siberia, fertile river valleys in China, and the submerging Sundaland archipelago. It is a land of early human innovation, from the first agricultural settlements in the west to advanced hunter-gatherer cultures in the east.
Atlantic Ocean
A vast, cold, and dynamic oceanic area marked by extensive sea ice, freshwater influx from retreating glaciers, and altered ocean currents, creating a harsh yet biologically rich environment with extended coastlines and exposed plains like Doggerland and the Grand Banks.
Caribbean Sea
A vast archipelago of enlarged islands with expansive coastal plains and savannas, home to unique extinct fauna like giant ground sloths, giant rodents, and enigmatic monkeys, set in a cooler, drier climate at the end of the Ice Age, untouched by humans and rich in natural splendor.
Earth
This is a world map that visualizes the Earth as it may have appeared around 10,000 BC, near the end of the last major glacial period.
Eastern Pacific Ocean
A vast, colder, and more productive ocean basin with expanded coastlines due to lower sea levels, featuring rich kelp forests, abundant marine megafauna, and early Paleo-Indian maritime cultures exploiting its resources.
Europe
A vast continent emerging from the last Ice Age, featuring retreating ice sheets, newly formed forests, wetlands, and rising seas. The landscape is marked by moraines, glacial lakes, and rebounding earth crust, inhabited by adaptable Mesolithic humans shifting from mammoth hunts to diverse survival strategies.
Indian Ocean
A vast, tropical oceanic area known for its crystal-clear turquoise waters, vibrant coral reefs, and diverse marine life, inspired by the Indian Ocean. It features scattered islands with lush vegetation.
Madagascar
A vast, isolated island ecosystem in 10,000 BCE, featuring dense tropical rainforests, drier deciduous forests, and open woodlands, inhabited by giant flightless birds, gorilla-sized lemurs, and unique predators like the giant fossa, untouched by humans.
North America
A vast, dynamic land emerging from the last ice age, featuring retreating glaciers, sprawling proglacial lakes, and diverse biomes ranging from tundra and spruce forests to grasslands and mixed woodlands. Home to colossal megafauna and early human hunter-gatherer bands, this area is marked by environmental upheaval and the struggle for survival amid changing climates and ecosystems.
Sahul
A vast, ancient supercontinent combining mainland Australia, New Guinea, and Tasmania, characterized by expanding deserts, drying lake basins, and forested highland refuges amid a warming climate.
South America
A vast and diverse prehistoric landscape reflecting South America in 10,000 BCE, featuring dynamic ecosystems from Andean valleys to Patagonian steppes and Amazonian savannas, inhabited by colossal megafauna and early human hunter-gatherer bands.
Taranui
A vast, contiguous landmass formed by the joined North and South Islands of ancient New Zealand, dominated by regenerating forests, expansive grasslands, and dramatic glacial valleys. The ecosystem is ruled by diverse and colossal flightless birds like the moa, with apex predators such as the Haast's eagle soaring above, all untouched by human presence.
Western Pacific Ocean
In 10,000 BCE, the Western Pacific Ocean was a fundamentally different world, a vast maritime basin defined by sunken continents, expanded islands, and shallow, tropical seas that served as both a cradle of life and a highway for some of the world's most ancient seafaring cultures. As the planet transitioned from the deep freeze of the Ice Age, the rising waters were beginning to reshape this region, but it remained a landscape of immense coastal plains and interconnected landmasses now lost to the sea.
