Earth's past is littered with the mysterious and unexplained: the pyramids, Easter Island, Stonehenge, dinosaurs, and the list goes on and on as science looks for clues to decipher these puzzles. One such mystery surrounds the now-extinct creature called the woolly mammoth. Author and meteorologist Michael Oard has studied the mammoth and its equally mysterious time period, the Ice Age, for many years and has come to some fascinating conclusions to help lift the fog engulfing the facts. Some of the questions he addresses include: What would cause the summer temperatures of the northern United States and European to plummet more than 50 degrees Fahrenheit? Why did mammoths become extinct across the entire earth at the same time as many other large mammals? Why are the mammoth carcasses found generally in standing positions? How could large lakes exist in what are today very dry, desert-like places? What was the source of the abnormal of moisture necessary for heavy snow? What caused the cold summer temperatures and heavy snowfall to persist for hundreds of years? In logical progression many other Ice Age topics are explained including super Ice Age floods, ice cores, man in the Ice Age, and the number of ice ages. This is one of the most difficult eras in geological history for a uniformitarian scientist (one who believes the earth evolved by slow processes over millions of years) to explain, simply because long ages of evolution cannot explain it. Provided here are plausible explanations of the seemingly unsolvable mysterious about the Ice Age and the woolly mammoths - Frozen in Time.

This title describes a walk with a dinosaur, as two teams of scientists race to bring back to life the long-extinct woolly mammoth, using DNA from a frozen mammoth discovered in a cliff face in Northern Siberia. Advances in medical and scientific technology mean that the impossible is now theoretically possible: a mammoth can be cloned from a frozen, long-dead mammoth corpse. But it's not easy. No one knows for sure how long frozen mammoth sperm keeps. Elephant sperm keeps well, but the mammoth has been extinct for at least 4000 years. But the mammoth remains a vividly real image: huge, with great curving tusks it is both utterly familiar and completely unknown.

The Great Pyramid of Giza, Stonehenge, the boat found beside the Pyramid, and Egyptian Thebes have been a mystery that has prompted much speculation for many decades. No satisfactory explanation has been forthcoming to solve the mystery of their intended purpose and what message did their builders intend to leave for future generations. This book presents the solution to these enigmatic questions. It goes back in time fifty centuries, to the Bible record of the worldwide flood of Noah's day. It links these four sites together due to their mathematical and celestial similarities. It also explains why Egyptian Thebes was called "the Navel of the Earth." The interior of the pyramid is based upon the rainbow covenant, and its measurements are taken from Genesis chapters 6, 7, and 8.

The study of fossilised remains of herbivorous animals, particularly those rare findings with well-preserved gastrointestinal tracts filled with plant remains, is crucial to our understanding of the environment in which they lived. Summarising thirty years of research, Ukraintseva presents evidence on plants once eaten by Siberia's major herbivorous mammals. The collection of pollen and plant spores from food remains sheds light on the vegetation of these ancient habitats, enabling researchers to reconstruct local floras of the time. This also promotes further insight into the causes of the extinction of various species due to changing environmental conditions and food availability. Providing a history of the research undertaken, the book also includes specific chapters on the Cherski horse and bison, along with the vegetation and climate of Siberia in the late Anthropogene period, making it a lasting reference tool for graduate students and researchers in the field.

The Mammoth's Space Adventure Summary of this story: In this fascinating novel, we follow Max, a curious and adventurous mammoth who longs for more than the peace and quiet of his homeland. Max's heart yearns for adventure and exploration, while his pals were content to graze in the meadows and play by the river. Max was eager to make his dreams come true, so he sought the counsel of Oliver, the wise owl, who revealed the existence of a mythical doorway buried within the Crystal Mountains. To find this portal, Max embarked on a perilous expedition through the deadly Great Ice Fields, guided only by the North Star. Max landed in the stunning Crystal Mountains, with their snow-capped peaks towering above him. He entered the enchanted caves and passed through the portal that took him to the vastness of space with unshakable resolution. In this new cosmic dimension, Max encountered friendly extraterrestrial beings who welcomed him with open arms. They shared their knowledge and experiences, while Max enthralled them with stories from his home and his journey through the Crystal Mountains. Max joined the interplanetary Council, where he collaborated with many different species to promote peace, harmony, and exploration, eager to contribute to interplanetary collaboration. They set out on journeys to seek new worlds and promote civilizational understanding. Max's cosmic journeys enriched his understanding of the interconnectedness of all beings and the importance of environmental protection. He became an environmentalist, utilizing his experiences to inspire people to enjoy and protect their natural environments. His passion and impact motivated people across galaxies to begin on their own experiences of discovery, community, and sustainable living. Max's legacy outlived him, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of future mammoths and cosmic beings. As Max's cosmic journey ended, he saw the interconnectivity of all living things and the boundless potential that each individual possesses. He stared up at the night sky, happy that his escapades had sparked a fire of curiosity and exploration that would last the rest of his life. Max's story highlights the power of dreams, the beauty of exploration, and the importance of working together in the face of adversity. It serves as a reminder that even the most unlikely of beings can have a big impact, and that the pursuit of knowledge, understanding, and environmental stewardship knows no limitations. Finally, Max's story inspires us to embrace our own unique adventures, to appreciate our world's beauty, and to recognize the boundless potential that everyone of us possesses. We are reminded by the stars that the universe is full of untapped possibilities, and that we, like Max the mammoth, have the power to leave a lasting legacy. The Story's Beginning: Max, a curious and adventurous mammoth, lived once upon a time in a land far, far away. Max was different from the other mammoths. While his friends were content to graze in the fields and play by the river, Max's heart desired more. He desired to gain international experience. Max was a daydreamer who was intrigued by tales of distant lands, heroic travels, and adventurous experiences. His restless disposition was unsatisfied by the simple pleasures of his peaceful surroundings. Max's imagination was boundless, and he was constantly lost in daydreams of exploring uncharted territory and discovering exotic animals. His friends would listen closely as he narrated stories of bravery and discovery, but they didn't share his burning desire for adventure. The meadows and riverbank that had always been his refuge suddenly felt oppressive. Max yearned to view the high mountains, hike through dense forests, and gaze out over the vast sea. Just thinking about these untamed landscapes filled him with awe and exhilaration. Max began planning his epic adventure with zeal and an insatiable curiosity. He sought guidance from wise elders, who told him stories of famous explorers and provided him survival strategies in the unknown. Max took in every word, eager to learn everything he could before embarking on his adventure. As the departure date approached, Max said his final farewell to his friends and family. They all wished him well, yet others were concerned about his safety. Max set out, fearless, armed with a map, a compass, and the conviction that he was destined for greatness. His first destination was in the mountains, which appealed to him from afar. With each step, Max felt a rush of enthusiasm and a renewed sense of purpose. The hardships he faced only fueled his desire to conquer the unknown. Max kept going despite the dangerous terrain and inclement weather. He tackled his fears, feeling empowered by the knowledge that he was on a path of self-discovery. The mountains tested his endurance while also revealing his inner strength. Max then went deep into the gloomy woods, where sunlight fought to penetrate the dense foliage. The forest was its own world, full of life and intrigue. Max was fascinated by the complicated environment and learned how to navigate the maze of trees and tangled foliage. On his travels, Max saw creatures he'd only read about in books, such as majestic eagles soaring across the skies, graceful deer jumping through the meadows, and naughty squirrels scurrying up trees. These encounters left him speechless and validated his belief that the Earth was a gorgeous fabric of intertwined life. Max eventually focused his attention on the big sea. The rhythmic crashing of waves on the shore, as well as the salty perfume of the ocean, awakened his spirit. With a mixture of excitement and worry, he boarded a sturdy ship and set sail toward the horizon. The vastness of the sea astounded Max. He witnessed storms that tested the crew's resolve, but he also witnessed the beauty of calm waters reflecting a starry night sky. Each wave got him closer to his objectives while teaching him the importance of perseverance and adaptation in the face of adversity. After months of exploration, Max returned to his birthplace a changed man. He'd seen wonders beyond his wildest dreams, endured hardships that tried his determination, and encountered remarkable beings along the way. His friends and relatives came to hear his story, their mouths agape as they heard of his escapades. Max's need for adventure had been quenched, but his thirst for knowledge and discovery had only grown. He was well aware that his country, which was previously regarded to be restrictive, possesses its own treasures just waiting to be discovered. Max became an inspiration to many around him, encouraging them to embrace their own wanderlust and seek the extraordinary in the ordinary. Max's voyage taught him that adventure does not have to be limited to remote locations and uncharted countries. It may be found in the commonplace, in the people he met, or in the natural beauty of his country. He realized that the limitations he had previously felt were his own creation, and that there was a world of adventure and discovery just outside his door. Max started out with a new goal in mind: to discover his birthplace with the same fire and enthusiasm that he had shown on his last expedition. He delved into local history, unearthing hidden treasures, ancient ruins, and untold stories that many had overlooked. Max shared his discoveries through sharing stories, organizing local tours, and inspiring others to see the world through new eyes. He became a conservationist, emphasizing the importance of preserving the natural wonders that had previously captivated him. Through his travels, Max realized the value of friendship and the power of human connection. He realized that the friendships he'd made with his fellow travelers were just as important as the places he'd seen. When things became tough, the companionship, shared experiences, and support they provided were the fuel that kept him going. Max's journey has made him more resilient, compassionate, and open-minded. He'd learned to accept unpredictability and regarded problems as opportunities for growth. He'd discovered that accepting the journey itself, rather than chasing frequent thrills, brings true fulfillment. Max's friends, who had previously been content with their basic lives, began to see the world through his eyes. They followed him on local walks to discover their homeland's charms. They, too, felt a need for more, and so they embarked on a joint journey of exploration and self-discovery. Max's story reminds us that the need for adventure is an important component of the human spirit. It is what drives us to push boundaries, seek new experiences, and uncover hidden truths. While it takes different forms in different people, the desire for more is a call to embrace the unknown and embark on adventures that enrich our lives.
