That’s pretty astounding, but the only obvious questions to me are, “How?,” and, “What the f... !?”
Is the obvious connection I’m supposed to make is that “God smiteth the mammoth or something?” Because then I’d have to change my obvious questions to, “Why?,” and, “What the f... !?”
Massive sudden super freezing in the atmosphere in polar regions triggering world wide rains and floods elsewhere...massive earthquakes opening the underground rivers onto the world. The sudden super cooling froze many of the mammoths and other beasts in place and the flooding covered them rather quickly and the left over frozen glaciers kept them entombed under ground. It was a quick death for them at least.
Days of Noah!
Obvious answer Climate Change. Hot or cold it’s always to blame.
