      @@dennislindqvist8443 there's an ongoing project in Russia that's actually successfully preserving it - dubbed the Pleistocene Park (like Jurassic Park, but with large herbivore mammals). May sound like a paradox, but deforestation actually helps. And the grazing of large herbivores, who trample the snow down, hence making it more dense. That way, it takes longer to melt, hence it protects the frozen ground underneath. There are various videos on youtube, even in English, so you can look it up if you're interested in learning more.

      I have watched a vid from a home movie of a Mastodon (called Mammoth by post). Grandpa went to Siberia as guest speaker. Driving highway about 2 feet above the grassland. Pulled over to film the Mastodon using its tusks to clear about 5 inches deep of snow off grass, so he could graze. He was very effective at making a swath. He was huge, and had no interest in grandpa, and seemed to feel no threat. Film was from the 1930's.

      Somebodys grandpa went to be the speaker at a meeting in Siberia. Some scientific thing. Took his movie camera. US citizen. 1930s. His grandson was cleaning the attic and found the film. Grandpa was driving across a nearly clear roahighway, about 18 to 24 inches above the fields. Broken barbed wire fencing on both sides. This big , he called it Mammoth, but it was clearly a bull Mastodon is dragging his tusks side to side clearing snow. Then grazing like a contented bovine. He pays no attention to grandpa. Who stops, rolls down the window for clear shooting for a few minutes. Grandpa drives on. The bull is 4 yards behind the car. Dark brown redish curly fur. He looks comfortably suited to the temperature, with puffs of steam escaping from his mouth. He is not the slightest bit interested in the car. I saw it after 2014 , don't know title.
      Also first US explorer to write a book on Alaska exploration, he stopped for winter in a very established town. Good friends with the mayor. He writes that he was very jealous of the mastodon boots the mayor wore. They were beautifully made, and cozy no matter the temperature. Sooo, both of them knew what Mastodon skin looked like.

      The dates of these animals are typically verified. Processes such as carbon dating have long been go-to consistent techniques, and with mummified animals the DNA of the beasts themselves can be used (such as with the molecular clock).
      Fortunately most of these permafrost-frozen animals do have DNA preserved, so molecular dating can be performed more effectively than on, say, a dinosaur fossil in which the DNA hasn't survived.

Big, but not global, possibly relating to the creation and flo flooding of the Black Sea post glacially. In such events, the bodies of the animals would not have remained intact and frozen, but would rather have remained unfrozen, bloated, and decayed. Also, the dating techniques used are at odds with a young earth. These animals have been tested using multiple techniques (Carbon dating, Amino acid racemization and electron spin being chief among them), and all agree on the same general age. YOu have to remember that people in Noah's time didn't have ways to know what was going on more than a few hundred miles from home. to them, a cataclysmic flood that was localized to one general region would look like the entire world to them. For all the world they know of, they were absolutely correct, but not for the rest of the world.

      Even if they did, there would be a problem keeping it alive because we have no idea what the mother's milk would have been like. Since most mammals living in the far north have mild which is higher in fat content than those living in more southerly climes, we couldn't give it the milk of living mammals because the fat content wouldn't be right, and it would probably be off regarding other nutrients needed for hair growth etc. So even if we could bring a baby Steppe ox to term (difficult to accomplish because the animal which we used as the surrogate parent might not be able to provide the growing fetus with the proper nutrients, plus we don't have a clue what to do from birth on out.
      It would be wonderful to see these creatures alive again but at this point in time, we don't have the knowledge or technology to do it. Maybe someday. Let's hope there's keeping some of that genetic material around.

      and under Atlantic ocean and pacific ocean pyramids and sunken cities are found... hows that in plate techtonic..im sorry for you.
      And you said I have to remember that people in Noah times didn't have ways to know what's going on in few miles farther...well how do you suppose that... Do you think tech is the only and best way to know what's going on... ?I know people now who know what's going on without tech...
      Anyway
      The world continent was up on a sea... When god ordered . The pillars of the deep collapsed and the hot waters of the deep pressured out in supersonic fountains that reached stratosphere which fallen down as ice in northern areas... And the water of space that were protecting earth In preflood earth state were allowed to fall down on earth... Well there is no way to prove or disprove this now as this condition no longer exists... It existed when earth was like Eden. It didn't snow it didn't rain. It was just a perfect climate for unseen prosperity and abundance, all people has to do is to worship god and fill earth with prayer and thanks and make children for god and for to populate earth with goodness. But they rebelled and reached god anger... Until Noah asked god in despare of his people for wrath.and it was what it was...but I tell you I don't worship science. I Know it's satanic. I Know it's agenda... Period... It's same story again and again and again... And as Noah days the wrath is coming... But everyone is free either to repent and follow Islam or keep it up worshiping the pyramid of satanic and false messiah cabal fire of wicked dreams

Very strict criteria must be met to preserve any thing for a long time. it must also happen fast. So something was going on at this time to freeze life adapted to cold and preserve it. Climate change does not happen over tens of years. It take hundreds of thousands despite what you are being told today. The span of these preserved lives proves it. 12,000 to 45,000 years is a long span in human time. So happy nature met the criteria to preserve these remains. Also very happy to live in a time where they are exposed for us to learn from. It also proves at this time 45.000 or longer years ago the earth is as it is today climate wise to expose these findings.

    On the two cave lion cubs found meters away from one another, it strains credulity to think that these are actually nearly 20,000 years apart in age. What are the chances of such a coincidence? Did lions inhabit frozen tundra areas habitually? If the supposed older cub remained frozen for thousands of years, then the area had to remain in a very cold state for all that time. It is already a crazy thing that a lion cub was born and then died and was quickly preserved by freezing and being covered quickly somehow. No doubt it happened, because there it was. But a prolonged and thoroughly frozen environment is simply not conducive to lion habitat... or at least it wouldn't seem to be. But yet 18 millennia later another cub suffered the same fate in exactly the same area? I think it more likely these two cubs died around the same time and the carbon dating is in error. It is already known that carbon dating, although very well thought out scientifically, can have its issues. We know this due to samples taken from different parts of the same specimen which end up having wildly different carbon dates when analyzed. I think we can all agree that if a piece from one side of a carcass shows an age thousands of years apart from a piece taken from the other end of the same carcass, it is not because the two halves of the animal died thousands of years apart. It seems evident that one or both of the dates must be in error. This calls into question the whole idea of carbon 14 dating being consistently reliable. Environmental conditions may affect the results in ways not fully understood.
    As with all these intact or nearly intact carcasses, something very unusual would have to occur to preserve them. Anything that dies in the wild is seldom preserved intact. The conditions have to be just right. The most significant conditions are very rapid and significant deep burial in freezing conditions, along with the carcass remaining in that state until discovered. Without that, scavengers and microbes will do their work and there will be little left of the animal. Something very catastrophic must have happened to our planet in the remote past.

Not only that, but cold enough to prevent bacterial decomposition. If one was close enough to the surface to have another fall so close, it simply would not have lasted 18K years.
      The only way such a thing is possible is if the second fell at just a time of almost full yet rapid thawing, then another episode of freezing and fast burial. That seems highly unlikely. But what I have said about carbon dating is not unlikely at all. It is documented. So which is the simpler explanation? The highly improbable dual burial hypothesis at 18,000 year intervals, or the fact Carbon dating maybe unreliable under certain conditions not fully understood? We know it is unreliable because we get wildly various dates for the same specimen at times.

    Calling the period between the Eemian Interglacial period (125k years ago) and the present Holocene Inter Glacial Period an Ice Age is implicitly confusing. It implies that these animals were on the North American Continent only during a period when the North was covered by a thick glacier. In fact we are still in an ice age but in one of approximately 45 warm periods, so far, during this Ice age that started about 2.75m year ago. The further implication is that these animals went extinct because the climate warmed up when the truth is that they survived these 45 or so cycles which went from Glacial to Interglacial periods again and again. I have no objection to calling this most recent100,000 year cold period an ice age, but then we need a different word to describe the 2.75m year period in which the climate has fluctuated between icy and more or less ice free periods. The Holocene, depending on how you define it, started as much as 20,000 years ago when the continental glacier had reached its maximum or 12,000 years ago, when the melting really got going.

    • @SuLokify

      Honestly as a layperson the term and definition of "Ice Age" has been a source of confusion and uncertainty in general.
      Various sources describe Earth as either in an Ice Age (as there is polar ice year-round) but currently at a sort of glacial minimum compared to ice cover in the past - or they describe recent times (for example 10kya) as an ice age that has ended. It seems terribly unclear and inconsistent, but perhaps simply due to my own ignorance.

    There's no way that these animals could have survived looking like they do for the past millions of years. This happens quickly, just like Mt Saint Helens' explosion that came quickly and buried many things deep like that. Animals do not die standing up.
