And although this scientific discovery has not yet been made public, scientists of the northern Yamal Peninsula are waiting for summer paleontologists from Ekaterinburg, which must fix and confirm it. A it consists in the following: in the Far North, and in particular in the territory of modern Yamal, people have lived at least 14 thousand years ago.
It was previously believed that this territory was completely covered with ice, and only 5 thousand years ago began to penetrate here human.
However, today Yamal archaeologists discovered mammoth bones with traces of their processing. And since the bones themselves, as it turned out, do not less than 14 thousand years, the conclusion suggests itself: already in that distant time (Paleolithic era) people lived here. They hunted mammoths woolly rhinos and other animals of this harsh region, and bones used as tools, pre-processing them according to your specific needs.
Here’s what local archaeologist Maria says about this Litvinenko:
All this became possible thanks to the project “Casting Museum “, which touches (moves) along the shores of the small Ob, collecting unique archaeological finds. They are happy to share locals who have already accumulated a lot of this “good”. For example, in one of the remote villages of Yamal, a local resident gave To the “Casting Museum” a whole bag of ancient animal bones – it remains only to bring it all in order and continue more a detailed study of the life of an ancient person in the Arctic
This is confirmed by the restorer of natural and ethnographic Park-Museum “Zhivun” Vladimir Permyakov:
Thanks to the project “The Casting Museum” we have collected very many bones, skulls of ancient animals that once roamed this harsh land. Now, only their restoration will take several months. But what they will show is a real secret so far. However today it’s clear that a person settled here much earlier, than previously thought. This is a real discovery for us and in general for world history.
