Mammoth discovery in Mexico during grave excavations
Heritage Daily ^ | December 2021 | editors / unattributed

Posted on 12/13/2021 9:15:36 AM PST by SunkenCiv

Researchers from the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH) have identified the remains of a mammoth in the town of Los Reyes de Juárez, Mexico.

The mammoth was uncovered in one of the towns municipal cemeteries whilst workers were preparing new graves.

Upon further inspection, biologist Iván Alarcón Durán identified that they were the bones of megafauna from the Pleistocene, with initial studies suggesting the remains are an elderly male Columbian mammoth.

The Columbian mammoth (mammuthus columbi) inhabited North America as far north as the northern United States and as far south as Costa Rica during the Pleistocene epoch. DNA studies shows that it was a hybrid species between woolly mammoths and another lineage descended from steppe mammoths, having gone extinct around 10,900 years ago.

As well as large segments of bone and a tusk, researchers recovered a fragmented skull, around 70 percent of the pelvis and several rib fragments.

The remains were buried in a strata of travertines, a sedimentary type of rock that is formed with calcium carbonates, associated with the presence of water sources such as underground lakes or rivers.

The bones were carefully removed for preservation and to prevent deterioration, where they will be cleaned and studied to determine the age and sex of the specimen.

Well, there goes that graveyard; it’s now an archaeological site for who knows how long.

Mammoth told me there'd be days like this. I know, I know, I've used that joke hundreds of times. You're probably thinking, "tusk, tusk". I've only used that one a few times, so...

Just until all the mammoth parts are excavated. I hope the culture there can take the hit.

The real Elephant Man had a little puffiness around the eyes. Yes, I haven't used that one in a while.

How can they identify the sex of the animal without asking them?

Read HE DEFEAT OF JOHN HAWKINS by Rayner Unwin.
He mentions that some of Hawkins’ men walked from Mexico to Nova Scotia in a year, and claimed to have seen “elephants” inland.
Also, some Mayan carvings appears to show elephants.

Then there are those Acámbaro figures from Mexico of dinosaurs.

Someone had to have paid for them to be made and fired in a kiln. several thousand of them.

Thanks. Jefferson wanted the two expeditions (Lewis and Clark, and the other one) to be on the lookout for mammoths.

The Ica stones are a hoax.
