Clearly a lot of time and effort went into building this structure so it was obviously important to the people that made it for some reason,”
maybe to stay warm?
Did they find any toilet paper?
It was one helluva BBQ - Mammoth Ribs, Sauce, Fries, Insects, and Emeril doing the cooking.
#17. I see my watch. I dropped it there during the Ice Age.
Hey, Oog.
Let’s build this really weird looking thing out of mammoth bones.
I’ll bet it will really freak somebody out in 25000 years or so.
It was part of the Bedrock bowling alley. Mr Slate had the hard surfaces contract.
And way easier than moving around a live mammoth.
Moving a dead mammoth was easier than killing one with pointed sticks I bet. Moving was in pieces so it was easier.
My thought as well-the article says they found charcoal, and there were trees there-mammoth bones for a frame + conifer branches-pine, spruce, etc-would make a pretty cozy wikiup-at least as good as the ones they teach you to make when you go to those primitive skills classes...
Apparently the archaeologists and paleontologists have been finding similar structures made of mammoth bones for years-—but this is the largest by far.

Today, not 25k years ago..................
Perhaps the mammoths were domesticated and this was a barn.................
Love the pics and especially the second one. I see ritual mummies at the order counter and a table. GO MCMammoth forever.
Ok, a berry smoothie, fried cattails and a hunk of mammoth. That’ll be one shell, 25 smooth river rock pebbles.. Enjoy your day at McMammoth
They ate the Mammoth where it was like a wolf pack. When it was eaten by them and scavengers, they carried the bones to build the yurt. Probably used the skin to cover it.
That’s what I would have done.
Back in my day we were building those mammoth dwelling communities all over the tundra... Mammoth burgers were all the rage back then. The mammoth was the symbol of the Renovacaine Party.
I had herd that.
