Why it works
The opening builds a cross-cultural mystery, then offers storms, volcanoes and bones as competing explanations by 0:45. At 1:59 it returns to the core question, while the fossil comparison at 3:28–3:32 coincides with the strongest replay peak. Seventy-six shots and 81 internal picture changes keep the 5:31 lesson visually active.
