Mammoths in Siberia
Posted: Wed 26 Nov 2014 8:07 pm
In Kronos 1:4 Dwardu Cardona discussed the frozen mammoths of Siberia. He began by saying that some people have suggested as many as 100,000 mammoths have been dug out of Siberian muck deposits - and others infer tens of thousands. Cardona said that less than 100 frozen mammoths have been discovered. Charles Hapgood put the figure at 80 but others say around 50 - or less. Only 4 of them were close to being described as complete skeletons - the rest were mutilated in various ways. Some just had pieces of flesh hanging from bones and the rest were mainly just tusk and bones. In none of them the flesh was far from fresh as if it had been flash frozen. The flesh was in various stages of putrefaction. It is unlkely humans fed on such flesh - and doubtful that dogs fed on it either. However, as he goes on to say, none of this actually refutes Velikovsky's claim that the mammoths were buried or frozen relatively quickly. What it does is upset some of the elaborate theories that have attempted to explain a sudden and instant act of freezing. Cardona then went on to lamblast the mainstream response to Velikovsky.

Hence, when mainstream speak of only a few frozen mammoths they are not telling porkies. What they ignore are the heaps of bones of Mammoths in Siberia.
