EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an extraordinary piece of mammoth, prehistoric bone art. Etched onto a fragment of mammoth's tusk, this intricate image was discovered in the renowned cave of La Madeleine, located in Dordogne, France. The Magdalenians, an ancient people who inhabited this area during the Upper Paleolithic period from 18,000 to 11,000 BC, left behind remarkable evidence of their existence. Archaeological research has shed light on the Magdalenian way of life and their diet predominantly consisting of meat sourced through hunting large game animals. This artwork serves as a testament to their deep connection with nature and wildlife. The detailed illustration depicts a majestic mammoth - one that once roamed these lands thousands of years ago. Its lifelike representation offers us a glimpse into the artistic abilities and cultural significance held by our ancestors. This artifact not only holds historical value but also provides valuable insights into biology, anthropology, and paleontology. As we marvel at this exceptional find within European archaeology, it is important to acknowledge its contribution to our understanding of prehistory and how humans coexisted with mega fauna such as mammoths.
