One of the past time’s animals that probably most people know is the woolly mammoth, which has last time walked on Earth almost 9800 years ago, more or less. Bigger than any today’s elephant, the tusks of those huge mammals were used by our ancestors to elaborate art, which today's eye finds primitive. This art shows the intelligence of the first societies, that resembles the kids’ intelligence when they start to contact the world.
There is a city called Mammoth Lake in California that may know lots about this extinct elephant’s cousin, that features the late pleistocenean centuries. The name of the city speaks about some mammoth rest’s found in the lakes nearby, pretty well conserved. Mammoth Lake attracts people with its awesome skiing tourism and with beautiful landscapes, and surely some tourist go visit the place wondering where are the big mammoths exhibited.
So, mammoth ivory was used by ‘artists’ (people who is trying to communicate) thousands of years ago, and mamoth were a very loved piece of human hunt, because just one kill would do for a month, perhaps for more time, and sometimes, people used cold lakes to preserve their meals from rot. Maybe, were some of these mammoths parts found in the lakes nearby mammoth lake once part of first human households?, like tribal food banks?... It is up to everybody’s mind to think the best answer, because still science, anyway, is using imagination trying to find out the explanations for an universe that seems to be more complex every minute we think of it...
