Archaeologists have found in northern Greece two giant tusks of prehistoric mammoths in Europe, more than 2 million years ago. This may be the most important finding of this type.
Both tusks were found at the archaeological site about 400km north of Athens, which once found many skeletons of ancient animals.
According to Professor Evangelia Tsoukala, 2 tusks are 2 upper and lower fangs, one about 5m long, the other about 4.5m (photo).
Scientists estimate that mammoths have this ivory about 25-30 years old, up to 3.5m tall and weigh 6 tons. This new finding is very important, helping to better understand the life, customs and development and destruction of ancient mammoths that lived 2.5 million years ago.
