Two hundred million years ago the continent we know as Eurasia didn't exist. Prof Iain Stewart shows that where the South of Eurasia is today there was once a ninety-million-square-kilometre Ocean known as the Tethys. It is the destruction of the Tethys Ocean that holds the key to Eurasia's formation. However, the formation of Eurasia is just the beginning of the story.
