Archaeologists are struggling to keep up with the incredible number of skeletons. Instead of celebrating this extraordinary discovery, Mr. Pedro Sanches Nava, from the National Institute of Anthropology and History (Mexico), lamented about it in a recent statement to the press, he said. there are too many, hundreds of them ”.

Digging work began last October in the town of Santa Lucia in the state of Mexico, with plans to build San Felipe International Airport by 2022. Since the beginning, the skeleton of 60 ghost elephants Sucking has been discovered, and Sanchez Nava thinks these extinct giants are likely to continue to emerge at a rate of 10 per month.

Mammoths are said to have drowned in mud on an ancient lake bank where an airport is being built.

The site is located on an ancient lake called Xaltocan that has long dried up. The researchers believe these mammoths may have di‌ed after being bogged down in the mud around the lake, where they gathered to eat grass and reeds.

Measuring up to 4.6 meters tall and featuring huge tusks, these Columbia mammoths used to live across the continental Americas, spanning from Canada to Central America, before being extinct. strain 12,000 years ago. Unlike Asian and European fur mammoths, this American mammoth is adapted to the relatively warm climate in which it lives.

Archaeologists working at the site believe that these mammoths di‌ed 15,000 years ago, and claim that this discovery revealed the inability of these ancient beasts to help the Neolithic people can eat them on an unexpectedly regular basis. According to Sanchez Nava, with this incredible frequency, the animals seem to have been overcome by the inevitable accidents, suggesting that the people there may have enjoyed mammoth meat. as part of your daily meal.

These drowned animals helped ancient humans to eat mammoth meat on a regular basis.

On specimens in this particular area there were no signs of being hunted or slaughtered, although there are other mammoth pits just 10 kilometers away that seem to have been dug by humans to trap animals. this giant. Last year, archaeologists found the bones of at least 14 different mammoths in such a hole, many of which show signs of slaughter.

While these newly discovered mammoths may have di‌ed of natural causes, Sanchez Nava hypothesized that humans might have taken advantage of the tendency to get trapped in mud and drown. , and they may have "chased them into the mud".

Surprisingly, it seems that the number of mammoth bones did not reduce the efficiency of construction workers, the construction of the airport was on schedule and guaranteed time as previously planned.
