When some people hear “mammoth,” money comes to mind. Local tour companies offer trips to the mammoth graveyards across the region’s Arctic frontier. Prospectors for mammoth parts—especially the tusks, known as ice ivory—have raced to collect remains.
Around 100 tons of mammoth tusks are legally mined in Yakutia each year, while illegal mining is estimated at twice that much, according to a report by TASS
“If ever a mammoth surfaces somewhere in the world, it will actually have Yakut roots,” said Mr. Fyodorov, proudly underscoring that his republic is mammoth central, the hereditary home of so many of these beasts.
To prevent ivory laundering, governments are expected to discuss the unusual step of listing the woolly mammoth as an endangered species, though it is long extinct.

Thanks, for all these years I thought they were the same guy.
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!
Days of Noah!
No ...water current rows....the days of Noah!
Hmm... interesting hypothesis, I guess I never associated flash freezing with world wide flooding, but massive storms can certainly be driven by massive temperature differences, so I guess it’s something to think about.
Super duper double secret endangered.
I was speaking of the general glib reporting of the era...but to me it was Noah’s flood where upon there was a pronounced super rapid cooling of the Atmosphere in very warm polar regions causing rapid freezing of any and all living things with subsequent rapid condensation and huge rains and flooding across the entire world in total. Northern clines might have had continued freezing and glaciation of flood waters left over. The flash frozen mammoths and other beasts would have been quickly buried by mud carried by floods which themselves were frozen and left for a time to thaw after the main rains had ceased. Though the ice receded very slowly over the northern sub arctic areas, the permafrost remained, keeping the mammoths preserved.
The flood of Noah’s day!
Thank you for proposing your theory.
Very warm super moist high water vapor, high pressure atmosphere,....rapid sudden cooling....immediate massive condensation as heat is forcibly released from the vapor due to rapid cooling...a 40 day massive rain all over the Earth....deep Earth quakes too as water is released from the depths of the Earth. Rapid continental shifts occurred as well.

I have always read similar, and the key to money is songwriting royalties. This is why old stars keep touring until they should be retired: they make money performing live, not from old recordings, I gather.
Obvious answer Climate Change. Hot or cold it’s always to blame.

Only because people don’t know what mammon is anymore. :-)
WOW!
The lot at Mammoth Mart looks beater heaven!
No one asks the obvious questions and no one dares make the obvious connections....

Even a good political summary at the end.
“The legitimacy of the ruling class - in whatever political form it may take - is based on the illusion that they can protect the people, whether from war, famine, economic hardship, or any other kind of disaster that disrupts the everyday routine of their lives and livelihood. ...
By attributing the cause of these cosmically-induced events to humans, the elites maintain the illusion that they are, at least to some degree, in control; if they are causing it, then theoretically, at least, they could stop it.”
Hence global warming hoaxers(some are true beleievers however)....they are a would be elite that say that other elites have damaged the Earth and there-fore only they, the lovers of Gaia must enslave mankind to save mankind and the Earth. Yup.
I wasn’t attributing the Flood to humans per se, but rather of God’s judgment on humans.
Saw an episode of Destination Unknown concerning Mammoth remains in Siberia.
Seems the locals cut down some trees that were shading the permafrost below. Above the Arctic Circle.
Sun starting melting the ice.
Today the crater is a mile long and getting 100+ ft deep. Growing all the time.
Tusk hunters are illegally digging up remains, scientists trying to find viable DNA to resurrect the Mammoths.

I read a Nat Geo special on the guys who dig for these things. Not a job for the faint of heart if you hate the cold.......
Did somebody say mammoth? Peramfrost?
Watch this show (3 seasons) - if you like creepy mysteries, I give it 5 stars.
