Mammoths and Pyramids Co-Existed
Woolly mammoths were still alive on Wrangel Island until 3,700 years ago, centuries after the Giza pyramids were built.
It's a common misconception that woolly mammoths died out long before human civilization. However, a small population survived thousands of years longer than generally believed, alongside early human engineering.
