Weren't there like full blown civilizations at that point? Kinda weird to refer to mammoths as if it were some stone age prehistoric period and be surprised that someone could craft something like this then lol

I think the pyramids at Giza were a few millennia old at that point eh?

Not millennia, but several centuries.

Oh, silly me, haha.

To be fair it's still hard to get over that Mammoths were still around at that point; it really feels like they're from a much earlier era. Also hard to really grasp how advanced people were even that early on.

Several, yes. Egypt, Uruk, Indus, etc
