The Monsters Emerge

"The Monsters Emerge" re-creates a skeptical world's reaction to the astonishing fact that unknown giants lay buried in our distant past. See how the chance discovery of the first dinosaur tooth in England in 1820 sparked a worldwide mania for "dragon bones." Go West as a pair of hot-tempered American scientists wage a long-running "dinosaur war" to dig up bigger, better specimens. Set off for the wild, remote Gobi Desert with a real-life "Indiana Jones", as Roy Chapman Andrews makes his landmark discovery of the first-ever dinosaur eggs. And, with a modern expedition en route to the Gobi once more, learn the intriguing questions still to be answered about the amazing animals we call dinosaurs.
