It took us 10 months to create this latest edition of our annual passion project.

The fact that we're finally able to share it with you is truly our highlight of this crazy year.

It's the 12,025 Human Era Calendar, and it's the best calendar we've ever made.

While we released the first video of the year, we were already brainstorming ideas for the 12,025 calendar.

For years, we'd wanted to tell the story of the great journey that took our ancestors from Africa to find new homes across the planet.

We read about curious and unbelievably brave humans who ventured out into the unknown, paving the way for future generations.

But all of these incredible stories had to fit on paper, on 12 pages no less.

Weeks of sketching and revisions followed in February.

What was it like for those early pioneers?

Every new terrain they explored must have appeared to them like an alien planet, ruled by unfamiliar climates and filled with foreign creatures.

Meanwhile, we released our next videos, and in March were finally able to tell you about Starbirds, the video game we're working on with Tucana Interactive.

We spent many weeks crafting epic illustrations worthy of representing 200,000 years of human history.

The adventures, the hardship, the incredible achievements.

We don't know what our ancestors set out to find, but when they settled all across the planet, they laid the foundation for human civilization.

Then in May, Smoking is Awesome became our most successful video this year.

It had a huge impact and inspired many of you to quit smoking for good.

Back in the studio, we created the final piece of the calendar, the cover.

As always, we wanted to represent the entirety of the human era by adding 10,000 years to the common era system.

Adding that one was the final touch, and our calendar was ready to be sent off to the printer.

On our YouTube channel, we continue to ask the big questions like, do you have free will?

Then in September, we finally held the first copy of the finished 12,025 calendar in our  We are truly happy with the result.

It's not just the vibrant illustrations, the high quality paper, or the shiny cover.

It's the fact that it represents such an important part of our shared human history.

And for us, it holds all the memories of an exciting year at Kurzgesagt.

We think it's the best product we've ever made.

We may be a tiny bit biased, but you birbs seem to love it too.

It's absolutely incredible to see all your comments and messages.

For so many of you, getting the human era calendar has become a yearly tradition and a daily source of inspiration.
