More of an An Idiot Abroad fan myself, but good pick
Perhaps Herzog's Cave of Forgotten Dreams (2010), if that counts.
There's a documentary I saw that documented what people in prehistoric times were doing right before they were preserved. For example, there's one part of it taking place in sixty thousand BC about a little girl who got polio when she was young, and it chronicles how her parents must've cared for her because they binge-fed her delicious berries, as seen by the teeth evidence. It's nice to know people were "remembering the human" even before humans existed and they inspired a few elaborate works of art I made depicting those scenes.
If you can remember the name, I'd love to check it out. I was a mortician for a decade and was obsessed with stuff like that as a little girl. I have a plethora of knowledge about this stuff but you can never know too much
I'm definitely showing my age here, but the team who made Walking With Dinosaurs created a while line of "walking with" and, while the CG DEFINITELY did not hold up, the science is still pretty decent.
- Walking with Monsters (pre-dinos)
- Walking with Dinosaurs
- Walking with Beasts (post-dinos)
- Walking with Cavemen
The latter, over 100 scientists worked on to try and make it as accurate as possible.
Don't watch the 'Chased by Sea Monsters" one though... for some reason, they changed up the formula and had a guy pretend he was traveling back in time and doing a Steve Irwin on the marine reptiles. It's just terrible.
Did you watch Prehistoric Planet last year? The CG in that series is gorgeous
Yes, I need to do a free trial so I can watch the new season. It's incredible
'Das Fest des Huhnes' which parodises western/european exotism, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Das_Fest_des_Huhnes?wprov=sfla1
It's more cultural/social anthropology tho
