It is around year 100 BC.Somewhere in Europe: The Getic-Dacian tribes are reunited under the leadership of Dacian King Burebista. The king fights and plots against the looming danger coming from the Roman Empire. Over the next 38 years Dacia expands herself over a vast territory - the present Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria and parts of Serbia. However, in 44 BC Burebista's archenemy, Caesar, is assassinated. The Roman threat apparently gone for good, the need for a strong leader vanishes and Burebista is assassinated himself several months later.
Somewhere in America: A seed comes into the ground. Over the next 2100 years a tree goes up from it. It is a sequoia.
Giant sequoias are the largest living things on earth, and are among the oldest; a tree like Yosemite's Grizzly Giant - a 30-foot-thick monster that's 2,100 years old and stands as tall as a 20-story building - has survived major climate vacillations and vast change to the species with which it shares the forest. This tree lives among the Mariposa Grove of giant sequoias, near the Wawona region of Yosemite, just inside the southern border of the park.
