A spectacularly historically inaccurate movie, directed by Roland Emmerich and released in 2008, about a mammoth-hunter named D'Leh, ostensibly set in the year 10,000 B.C. During a "great hunt" of a stampede of wooly mammoths, D'Leh appears to slay a gigantic ultra-mammoth and is awarded his tribe's sacred artifact, the White Spear. This allows him to claim any woman in the tribe as his wife, and he chooses his childhood friend Evolet (who was originally from somewhere else, and found by the tribe wandering the tundra half-dead). However, guilt over not actually slaying a mammoth causes him to return the spear, angering said childhood friend.Soon after, horsemen with swords show up and kidnap many of the villagers, including Evolet. He and the few surviving hunters set off on a quest to track down these raiders and get their families back.After traversing some seriously weird terrains, and having a few small adventures along the way, D'Leh is separated from the rest of the party. He ends up at an agricultural village in a desert. There, he manages to impress the local chief, and makes friends with the natives. It turns out that this and many other villages have been victimized by the same raiders that kidnapped D'Leh's people, and taken to "the Mountain of the Gods". After witnessing that D'Leh has befriended a sabertooth tiger, the chief concludes that D'Leh is The Chosen One who will overthrow the evil god who the horsemen work for.Following this, all the desert tribes gather together to march towards the Mountain of the Gods (which turns out to be a gigantic and work-in-progress pyramid). There, the prisoners are being used as slaves in a big construction job. The impromptu army attacks and triggers a slave uprising. D'Leh himself kills the false god who's running things, and everybody is freed.The chief gives D'Leh some seeds, and instructions on how to farm. D'Leh, his wife, and those mammoth-people who remain return to their tundra home to rebuild.One of the most infamous and blatant examples of Rule of Cool in all of film history. Make sure to bring your MST3K Mantra.

Misplaced Wildlife: Woolly mammoths helped build the pyramids. Never mind that they're woolly mammoths and thus should be somewhere cold. Which Egypt isn't. To be fair, the implication seems to be that the mammoths were captured and brought there for use as labor just like the human slaves, not that they're actually native to the desert. The sabre-tooth in Africa. Sure, some species of sabre-toothed cats did live in Africa, however the species featured in the film is clearly a Smilodon, which only ranged from North and South America. Assuming that Word Of God is correct and this takes place in South America, everything is misplaced. Even the terror birds (the last known to date are from Florida; some possible fossils come from the late Pleistocene of Paraguay, but it's not entirely certain).

On the other hand, the African village elder giving the hero a handful of corn to take back and grow in his tribe is definitely an example of this trope, as maize originated from Central Mexico, not Africa, and was only brought to Eurasia late in the last millennium. In addition, while it would have been a fairly good idea to use this as a secret historical phenomenon lost to history where Native Americans received the corn and used it as the major staple of their diet as a result of this leader's gift to the hero (as implausible as it may sound), it has already been established according to documentation that D'Leh and Evolet came from the Ural Mountains of Western Russia, making the idea impossible.

The Heavy: One-Eye and the Warlord Leader act as the physical threats for D’Leh and his allies to fight. The God is the overarching antagonist of the movie, but he is not in it very much and gets easily killed by D’Leh throwing his spear at him.

Androcles' Lion: D'Leh rescues a giant sabretooth tiger that was pinned under a log in a pit that was filling with water. As thanks, it leaves without attacking him. Later, when D'Leh's party encounters the African tribe, the sabertooth reappears. Seeing it docile around D'Leh causes the tribe to declare him the chosen one.

comment
Anachronistic Animal: The characters ride upon modern-day horses. The problem is, horses in prehistoric times looked nothing like their modern day, more domesticated, descendants. The horses should be much stockier, have upright manes, be plainer looking, and generally much more smaller in both height and mass (overall being closer to a donkey than a modern horse). On the opposite end of the spectrum, giant terror birds like Titanis went extinct around one million years ago and were definitely not around 10,000 B.C.

Trailers Always Lie: The confrontation with the Smilodon is featured heavily. It gets stuck in a pit that's filling with water. D'leh says to it "Do not eat me after I free you!" He frees it, then it goes off on its way. It shows up again later on, but only to spare D’Leh’s life so the quasi-African tribesmen can recognize he is the man in their legend.

comment
Artistic License – Paleontology: Too many to count. Terror birds went extinct almost a million years before humans. Since the film takes place somewhere in the Old World, Smilodon should not be there, as it lived in North and South America. Also, it is designed to look like a big tiger with long fangs and a short tail, which is based on the alternate name "Sabre-toothed tiger". In reality, Smilodon wasn't a type of tiger and was a member of a completely separate group of felines.

Artistic License – History: The movie probably isn't meant to evoke historical accuracy. Naming the movie on an actual prehistoric date was [more likely] done for promotional purposes. In one scene, D'Leh eats hot red peppers with a new community he meets. Since the film takes place in Africa or Eurasia, and peppers originated in South America, this is impossible.

Ambiguous Time Period: Ignoring the obvious fact of the title, the film appears to be set in the prehistoric times, with the main character encountering both a woolly mammoth and a saber tooth tiger. However, he ends up somewhere that appears to be ancient Egypt or at least Mesopotamia (an emperor is having a large pyramid built). Although he does end up destroying that civilization...

Deconstructed Trope: Baku wants to be a hunter from the very start of the movie, becoming a Tagalong Kid in pursuit of that and is reluctantly accepted in this role by Tic'tic and D'leh, and gets his chance in a metaphorical hunt during the climax after D'leh starts a stampede among the captured mammoths. Furthermore, Baku's motivation in the film is the find and kill the one-eyed slaver as revenge for his mother's death at the start of the film. Finally, in the very last battle in the entire film, he gets his chance: One-Eye is advancing on Baku's friend Tudu and Baku has a spear. He raises his spear, hurls it at his archenemy...and completely misses. What did you think was gonna happen, Baku? You've never used a spear before! Luckily, Nakudu is there to successfully kill One-Eye in the same way that Baku tried.

On the other hand, the African village elder giving the hero a handful of corn to take back and grow in his tribe is definitely an example of this trope, as maize originated from Central Mexico, not Africa, and was only brought to Eurasia late in the last millennium.

Furthermore when the movie takes place the Sahara might not have even been a desert given that every few thousand years it shifts between a dry climate and a wet climate.

However, they are then interrupted by the Atlantean's servants who are none too pleased to see that the warlord tried to keep one of their master's slaves for himself. The servants are savvy however, and after aresting the warlord, make her give up the knife she had hidden when they entered.

Animals Not to Scale: Pretty much all the extinct megafauna in the film are far larger relative to the human characters than they should be, with the woolly mammoths especially standing out in this regard. In reality, they were only a bit bigger than an Asian elephant. Here, some of them are nearly 20 feet high.

Inertial Impalement: This is how D'Leh kills the mammoth. When his spear gets stuck in the ground, he runs away, leading the beast to impale itself. He also does it to the terror birds, this time intentionally.

Last of His Kind

comment
Last of His Kind: Old Mother is stated to be such, and implied to be a Neanderthal. The Almighty is also likely such, being the last Atlantean or Alien.

Light Is Not Good
 10,000 BC / int_e543a655
comment
Light Is Not Good / Order Versus Chaos: The false god wears white and is charismatic enough to build a civilization around him. And then the good guys come around and destroy the civilization he formed. Seems like an inverse version of the order/light against chaos/darkness more often present.

Atlantis

comment
Atlantis: Another version of the God's origin story has him coming from a distant homeland that sank beneath the ocean. It seems to be his most plausible origin: in one scene, when Evolet is brought before the God, the camera focuses on some strangely detailed maps that are displaying a mass of land in the Atlantic Ocean, between South America and Africa.

The sabre-tooth in Africa. Sure, some species of sabre-toothed cats did live in Africa, however the species featured in the film is clearly a Smilodon, which only ranged from North and South America.

The Dog Bites Back
 10,000 BC / int_fb3576b2
comment
The Dog Bites Back: A subtle example. Among the numerous peoples from disparate countries D'Leh brings with him to the pyramid include a group of giant African warriors. They all sneak in disguised as slaves and an overseer begins continuously whipping their leader, who just crouches down and takes it until D'Leh gives the signal, when he immediately stands up to his full, seven-foot plus height, grabs the overseer by the throat and effortlessly hurls him off the pyramid to his death.

Mighty Whitey: The quasi-African tribesmen living in the desert have a prophecy that "one day the one will come who will free our people". And that one is D'Leh. Obviously, they just can't do it themselves.
