@ kipling - 19.03.22 - 10:37am Bob Holness was the 2 nd James Bond Technically correct, well done. Most people think he was the first but there was actually an american chap whose name I can't remember that played the character in a US radio drama adaption before he did. I say technically, because the US radio version was adapted for an american audience and became Jimmy Bond, working for the CIA and not 'On her majesties secret service. |

When the pyramids were built in Giza, there were still mammoths roaming about on the planet. It's unlikely the people building the pyramids were aware of them, though. |

The heads on Easter island aren't just heads. They're entire bodies, which have been consumed by the soil over time. It's unlikely that the people who built them ever knew how they'd look today, with just their heads protruding. |

@ mikeymk - 19.03.22 - 04:57pm When the pyramids were built in Giza, there were still mammoths roaming about on the planet. It's unlikely the people building the pyramids were aware of them, though. Probably the remnants on that one island off Russian Far East (Wrangel Island) They were said to be the last of their kind, nestled within there. Died off 4000 years ago, whereas were extinct in Eurasia and N. America 10, 000 BC. |

@ mikeymk - 19.03.22 - 06:10pm The structures are said to be built over 20,000 BC Nah, the pyramids at Giza were built somewhere around 3500BC. Still, the time between them being built and the reign of the Egyptian queen Cleopatra, is still longer than the time between Cleopatra(died 31BC) and the invention of the i-Phone. |

Yeah. I seem to have lost place of a decimal point, at some point. |

@obi_jon | 19 March 22 | |
The mammoths went extinct somewhere around 1400-1200BC.

Bits of mammoths are regularly falling out of the soft boulder clay cliffs onto the beaches all along the East Yorkshire coastline, I saw there'd been some more quite recently in the local newspaper.
