The '''Earth''', also called the '''Human World''' (人間界, ''Ningen Sekai''), is a planet created along the stars and planets. It is home to millions of species of life, including humans. It is the main setting for every ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' series, and all of the protagonists call Earth home. It is revealed in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'' that there are many parallel Earths spread across the multiverse. One alternate Earth resides for each method of Summoning introduced except the [[Pendulum Summon]], and the Duelists who survive on those alternate Earths utilize the Summoning method associated with their dimensions.

The Earth appears a low-energy world enabling a proliferation of organisms for plants and animals.

===Etymology===
The modern English noun earth developed from Middle English erthe personified as a goddess in Germanic paganism (appearing as Jörð in Norse mythology, mother of the god Thor). In general English usage, the name earth can be capitalized or spelled in lowercase interchangeably, either when used absolutely or prefixed with "the" (i.e. "Earth", "the Earth", "earth", or "the earth"). Many deliberately spell the name of the planet with a capital, both as "Earth" or "the Earth".

===Early civilization===
10,000 years before the start of the series, a perfect city known as [[Atlantis]] existed isolating it from the rest of the world. It was inhabited by [[Duel Monster Spirits]] and humans, who coexisted peacefully. They were said to have known nothing of violence. Soon after a monarch [[Dartz]] came to power, he tried to destroy the earth with an army of [[Orichalcos Soldier]]s, but his father, [[Ironheart]], opposed him. He went to a temple and requested the assistance of the Duel Monster Spirits, which they agreed to lend. After a battle known as the Battle of the Stone Wasteland, [[The Great Leviathan]] was defeated and sealed away by Ironheart's army. Before his death, Ironheart sealed the doors to the Duel Monsters Spirit World, leaving behind their spirits scattered across all the world. Some were left in the Egyptian pyramids, the Greek temples, the Aztec pyramids, the Egyptian mastabas. Dartz survived, and began gathering souls to revive The Great Leviathan to destroy and reconstruct both the Earth and the Duel Monsters Spirit World in his own image.
