Last woolly mammoths
Mammoths still roam while the pyramids are centuries old
Woolly mammoths died out on the mainland about 10,000 years ago, but an isolated population on Wrangel Island survived, according to the latest finds, until about 2000 BC. By then the pyramids of Giza had already stood for centuries.
