The Siberian Ivory Mines
Twelve thousand years ago a blast of freezing air suddenly killed the northern hemisphere’s megafauna: they were all quickly wiped out. This sudden and inexplicable freezing event changed the climate. It may have been a pole-shift over a matter of days or weeks. When this event happened Siberia and Alaska were covered with green forests. This is the only environment that can support herds of giant beasts. They can’t survive on tundra grasses. There were huge herds of mammoths, rhinoceros, giant sloths and saber-toothed tigers. This catastrophe is indisputable. The verification is the Siberian ivory trade.
The Alaskan muck is like a fine, dark gray sand. Within this mass, frozen solid, lie the twisted parts of animals and trees intermingled with lenses of ice and layers of peat and mosses. It looks as though in the midst of some cataclysmic catastrophe of ten thousand years ago, the whole Alaskan world of living animals and plants was suddenly frozen in mid-motion in a grim charade…The Pleistocene period ended in death. This is no ordinary extinction of a vague geological period which fizzled to an uncertain end. This death was catastrophic and all-inclusive. The large animals that had given their name to the period became extinct. Their death marked the end of an era. Archeologist Frank C. Hibben (1946).
Mammoth remains in the New Siberian Islands are so plentiful that the majority of the world's ivory trade is from mammoth and mastodon tusks from Siberia. These mammoth tusks are not fossilized. The calcified structures are in their natural state. They are not organic material turned into stone. The tusks (long teeth actually) are as fresh as if the animal died yesterday.
Note the sheen and luster on this 12,000 year-old ivory.
The Siberian ivory trade dates from at least the early 1700’s. The supply seems to be inexhaustible. Only 10% of today’s ivory trade comes from Africa. It's true that some mammoths could have fallen into ravines and died normally, only to be frozen later. However this would account for only a few isolated incidents. The problem with this interpretation is the tusks could never be used for ivory. They would have been quickly decomposed and rotted. So many mammoths were quick-frozen that the Siberian ivory trade is still going strong.
Mud is used to keep the ivory fresh.
There was quite a bit written about these events in the 1950’s and 60’s. Back then a few people in science were willing to admit they didn’t know everything. That doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. The whole situation is now politicized. Ivory experts know that if tusks are allowed to dry out, they lose their animal matter and become useless for carving. For a 12,000 year old tusk to be still good for ivory means the animal had to be quick frozen to preserve the tusks. The only way to account for it is some sort of massive and very sudden climate shift around 12,000 years ago. This doesn’t fit today’s narrative that sees climate change initiated by human activity. Frozen mammoths have been found with grasses and seeds as well as soft, delicate buttercups still in perfect condition in the mammoth's stomach. If the animal had died and decomposed normally, the digestive systems, which continue at least one-half hour after death, would have dissolved the fragile buttercups and probably the grasses too. A list of 55 items have been compiled from the stomachs of frozen mammoths including herbs, grasses, mosses, cruciferae, shrubs, trees and flowers. It is true most of these plants still grow in Northern regions; but not in the quantities necessary to feed herds of mammoths, mastodons, horses and all the other large mammalian forms that roamed Siberia and Alaska before the great extinction. A modern elephant eats 350 pounds of vegetable matter per day. We can assume the mammoth ate at least as much. The evidence indicates that in recent times areas of the world which are now in permafrost supported a temperate or perhaps subtropical ecosystem.
This is the famous mammoth from the Berezovka River in Siberia 1901. This is not the product of taxidermy. It is the complete animal retrieved from permafrost. All muscles and internal organs are perfectly preserved. It now sits in a Russian museum. Note the perfectly preserved ivory. The poor beast was found with delicate buttercups in its mouth and stomach. Finally, note that the eyes of mammoths were also conserved. They would normally be the first of the body parts to decompose upon a normal death. All this data is hidden in plain sight. Never taught and never digested by an inept ruling elite and comatose general public. Our history is frozen in place; a meek and standardized pabulum of lies and deceptions; insipid intellectual nourishment for an intentionally dumbed down society on the verge of extermination.

“In the New Siberian Islands and the adjacent islands of the Polar Sea. These, therefore, with their fabulous stores of ivory, are the greatest graveyard of mammoths known. Von Wrangell described some parts of this region as containing hecatombs of such remains before they were ransacked by those in search of the valuable tusks. Should we wonder that for over a hundred years organized ivory collecting flourished without any apparent diminution of the supply?”

There are some documented cases of animals and people eating the fresh meat of newly exposed mammoths which have been dead for a long time. People involved in the preservation of meat report that the best temperature for preserving meat is about minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit. At higher temperatures ice crystals form which tear apart tissue allowing natural juices, nutriment and flavor to escape. One who claimed to have dined on mammoth steak remarked how juicy and flavorful the meat was. Others who have seen mammoth meat but were afraid to eat it observed that it looked as fresh as frozen beef from New Zealand. While not in dispute with the idea that mammoth ivory was quick frozen, Dwardu Cardona doubts that anyone ever dined on mammoth steaks in “The Problem of the Frozen Mammoths” Kronos, v. I, no. 4, (1976).
