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

我們終於能夠與大家分享它，這確實是我們在這瘋狂一年中的一大亮點。

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

它就是 12025 年人類紀元日曆，也是我們製作過的最好的日曆。

It all started back in January.

一切都要從一月份說起。

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

當我們發佈今年的第一個視頻時，我們已經在為 12 025 年的日曆集思廣益了。

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.

多年來，我們一直想講述我們的祖先從非洲出發，在地球上尋找新家園的偉大旅程。

We dove headfirst into research.

我們一頭扎進了研究中。

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

我們在書中讀到了好奇而勇敢的人類，他們冒險探索未知世界，為後代鋪平了道路。

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

但是，所有這些令人難以置信的故事都必須寫在紙上，而且必須寫在 12 頁紙上。

Weeks of sketching and revisions followed in February.

隨後在二月份進行了數週的草圖繪製和修改。

What was it like for those early pioneers?

早期的先驅者們是什麼樣的？

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

他們探索的每一個新地形在他們看來都像是一個外星球，被陌生的氣候所統治，充滿了陌生的生物。

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.

與此同時，我們發佈了下一個視頻，並終於在三月份向大家介紹了我們與 Tucana Interactive 合作的視頻遊戲《星際鳥》。

Then the calendar came to life.

然後，日曆就出現了。

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

我們花了數週時間，精心製作了足以代表 20 萬年人類歷史的史詩般的插圖。

We had to get it right.

我們必須把它做好。

The adventures, the hardship, the incredible achievements.

冒險、艱辛和令人難以置信的成就。

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.

我們不知道我們的祖先出發去尋找什麼，但當他們在地球各地定居下來時，他們奠定了人類文明的基礎。

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

隨後在 5 月份，《吸菸真棒》成為我們今年最成功的視頻。

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

它產生了巨大的影響，激勵你們中的許多人徹底戒菸。

Nothing could make us happier.

沒有什麼能讓我們更開心了。

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

回到工作室後，我們製作了日曆的最後一部分--封面。

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

一如既往，我們希望在公元紀年系統的基礎上增加 10 000 年，以代表整個人類紀元。

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

最後加上這一張，我們的日曆就可以送到印刷廠了。

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

在我們的 YouTube 頻道上，我們繼續提出一些重大問題，比如：你有自由意志嗎？

And is AI humanity's final invention?

人工智能是人類的最終發明嗎？

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

九月份，我們終於拿到了第一本完成的 12 025 本日曆。

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

它不僅僅是生動的插圖、優質的紙張或閃亮的封面。

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

因為它代表了人類共同歷史的重要組成部分。

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

對我們來說，它承載著庫爾茲格薩特激動人心的一年的所有記憶。

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

我們認為這是我們生產過的最好的產品。

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

我們可能有點偏見，但你們這些小鳥似乎也很喜歡。

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

看到你們的評論和留言，真是難以置信。

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

對你們中的許多人來說，獲取人類時代日曆已成為每年的傳統和每天的靈感來源。
