FADE IN:
EXT. EARTH - DAY (12,000 B.C.)
The world turns below us, vast and slow.A RUMBLE. A shadow sweeps over the land. We move with the
shadow. We cast the shadow.Landscapes slide by. Reduced by altitude to abstractions:
river deltas, forests and flood plains. A raw natural world.
No trace of civilization.The shadow glides over mountains and glaciers. Across an
ocean and a pale beach. Over lowland plain at the foot of a
VOLCANIC MOUNTAIN it stops.EXT. LOWLAND PLAIN - DAY
