It is believed that these mammoths could have been trapped in a swamp, where they were driven by people during the hunt. Currently, construction work has been suspended and archaeological excavations have begun, which experts hope will help solve the mystery of the disappearance of this unique species.

As a reminder, in Turkey, archaeologists unearthed a horse skeleton with a bronze rod in its jaw.
