It's like, at the end, it's too much.

Everyone kept calling me Alaa, and I was like, I know I'm great, but you know.

The thing is as well, our story is kind of epic, man.

Our story's epic.

We lived in a world that was a bit like Lord of the Rings.

There was obviously the Neanderthals, which so many people have heard of, but there were all these other species, including one of my favorites, Homo floresiensis, who were basically these hobbit-like humans.

They were really short.

They were about three and a half feet tall.

Now, that means humans the size of penguins were living on this island in Indonesia called Flores.

And on this island, there were giant rats and elephants the size of cows.

So humans the size of penguins were hunting elephants the size of cows.

The Neanderthals of Asia.

We were constantly not succeeding.

And then we did.

And we did in the biggest way possible.
