African and Asian civilizations have been using elephants as working animals for 4000 years or more. If you can trap and tame an elephant, you can certainly kill one.

I have no doubt that mammoths (and elephants) could be killed with ancient weapons. I just don't think ancient man contributed much to their extinction as some scientists claim.

I’ll buy that in general.

Though elephants were once found throughout North Africa, the Middle East and even Cyprus. And humans certainly wiped these groups out.
