Our transcription: Dinosaurs captured the public's imagination from the time their fossils were first excavated in the early Nineteenth Century.
Soon the rush began to collect the remnants of these ancient creatures.
Expeditions spanned the globe uncovering everything from dinosaur skulls to fossilized dinosaur eggs.
Piece by piece, a spectacular view of Earth's past inhabitants gradually took shape.
Dinosaurs were seen as solitary cold blooded creatures, who moved through their tropical world at a sluggish pace.
