| 6 | * TheAllegedCar: Discussed. Asmund Kastanrassi builds a ship out of scraps of wood and walrus skins, the only material available on Greenland, and Paul Cooper describes it as a "Frankenstein's monster of a ship." While he does manage to sail it to Iceland, over 1500 kilometers of the iceberg-clogged and stormy North Atlantic, his ship finally breaks apart and sinks in the North Sea on the way to Norway. |
| 7 | * ColdOpen: Each episode opens with someone encountering the ruins of the civilization long after it has totally collapsed. |
| 8 | * ForegoneConclusion: No matter how much the viewer wants them to succeed, each civilization will be doomed to collapse and fade into semi-obscurity. |
