Archaeologists Discover Giant Ice Age Mammoth Bone Structure
Image Credit : Antiquity Journal
Archaeologists have announced the discovery of a giant Ice Age structure built from the remains of at least 60 mammoths at the Kostenki-Borshevo archaeological complex.
The giant circular structure has a diameter of 12.5 metres and was built around 25,000 years ago during the peak of the last Ice Age (called the last glacial maximum), when communities were mainly mobile hunter-gatherers. This would make the monument one of the oldest known mammoth bone buildings, compared to similar structures that date from 22,000 years ago. Find out more
