These Farmers Thought That They Hit Something Underground           Until They Found Out That This Was A Woolly Mammoth!

The collection, looking like it comes straight from a horror film, also featured the sketches of infamous serial killer Jack the Ripper’s victims: Catherine Eddowes and Elizabeth Stride.

Supposed human hearts and other organs can be found preserved in jars.

A blog post about the alleged find claimed: “In 1960 in London at the time of clearing the site for construction of a new residential neighborhood, the old long-abandoned mansion belonged to Thomas Theodore Merrylin was set for demolition.

Two farmers were trying to drain water on their field when they hit something underground.

They dug the ground and discovered that lying beneath was a woolly mammoth.

20% of the mammoth’s body was found.

Woolly mammoths are extinct relatives of today’s elephants. Although the word “mammoth” has come to mean “huge,” woolly mammoths were probably about the size of African elephants. They lived during the last ice age, and they may have died off when the weather became warmer and their food supply changed. Humans may also be partly responsible for their disappearance due to hunting.

Two farmers from Michigan were trying to drain water on the field where they were working. Suddenly they hit something underground. Then the two farmers, James Bristle and Trent Satterthwaite were shocked with what they discovered.

They started digging and dug 8 feet deeper to finally see what was under the ground they have always worked on. They finally able to see that it was a remains of a woolly mammoth! There was a total of 20% remains that they found. It included its head, tusks, several rib parts, set of vertebrae, etc. It had been said that the one they found lived more than ten thousand years ago.

Dan Fisher, a University of Michigan professor said the missing parts of the woolly mammoth might have been consumed by humans. Also, the one they dug was in its 40s or 50s already when it died. About 30 woolly mammoths were found in Michigan.

According to the professor, the one found may also not be a woolly but a “Jeffersonian mammoth” or a hybrid of woolly and Columbian mammoth.

“You have a better chance of winning the lotto than doing what we just did,” the professor said.

Only a few people get lucky with certain discoveries about historical remains and it is truly a shocking yet amazing experience to find one.
