Seems simple enough.

My sentiments exactly....

They could've used Deinotheirum instead of mammoths. Deinotherium's range covered parts of Asia, Africa, and Europe. And it lived in the Pleistocene, which ended about 10,000 yrs ago.

Deinotherium("terrible beast"), also called the Hoe tusker[1] was a gigantic prehistoric relative of modern-day elephants that appeared in the Middle Miocene and continued until the Early Pleistocene. During that time it changed very little. In life it probably resembled modern elephants, except that its trunk was shorter, and it had downward curving tusks attached to the lower jaw.
Deinotheirum
