What was it like to be human in the year 500 CE?
Across forests, deserts, mountains, oceans, and cities of stone, our ancestors lived lives as rich, complex, and grounded as our own. In this full InSlowSpective documentary, we travel across the planet — from Europe to Asia, Africa to the Americas, and the islands of the Pacific — to rediscover the human world as it truly was.
This is not a story of kings and battles alone.
It is the story of daily life:
fields and rivers
markets and temples
navigation and memory
ritual and belief
families, crafts, villages, and communities
knowledge passed by voice, brush, and star
In the year 500, humanity was not divided between “advanced” and “primitive.”
Every region had its own brilliance:
Post-Roman Europe rebuilding in quiet rural landscapes
Byzantium rising with cities of stone and gold
Sassanian Persia blending ritual, empire, and trade
Gupta India flourishing in art, mathematics, and astronomy
Northern Wei China carving colossal Buddhas and unifying cultures
Korean kingdoms & early Japan shaping ritual, statehood, and tradition
Aksum bridging Africa, Arabia, and the Indian Ocean
West African societies building trade, metallurgy, and complex networks
Maya, Zapotec, and Andean societies engineering pyramids, terraces, and cities
Polynesian navigators exploring the world’s largest ocean
Australian First Nations sustaining the world’s oldest continuous cultures
This documentary explores the real lives of real people in every corner of the globe as humanity transitioned into a new era.
