Become a Part of kurzgesagt History
Learn about how the Human Era Calendar (and your support!) changed kurzgesagt forever.

How It All Started
It began with a frappé and a big question from kurzgesagt's founder Philipp Dettmer: “Why does our calendar only start 2,000 years ago?”. That question sparked an idea, then a video, a movement, and a special calendar. What started as a small experiment became a yearly ritual: a visual, handmade celebration of human history.

Why We Add 10,000 Years
Humanity's story didn’t start 2,000 years ago... it began over 12,000 years ago, with the rise of farming, cities, and shared knowledge. By adding 10,000 years to our current calendar, we give the full arc of civilization the space it deserves. It's a simple change with big perspective.

Human Made, Always
Every page of the Human Era Calendar is researched, written, illustrated, and designed by the real people at kurzgesagt. We don't use AI, just curious minds and careful hands. From first sketch to final print, it's a product of time, love, and incredible human effort.

Much More Than a Calendar...
Your calendar does much more than mark the days, it powers everything we do here at kurzgesagt. Your support helps us fund the talented researchers, storytellers, and artists who create our independent science videos. It's how we keep curiosity alive, colorful, and for everyone.

Add More Sparkle to Your Living Space
Combine your calendar purchase with these stellar goodies – from epic space scenes to cosmic wearables. Each piece is designed to bring more delight and wonder to your everyday.
