An Austrian man has discovered the remains of prehistoric mammoths while renovating his wine cellar.

Mammoths were used to guard wine cellars back in the day.

[@SanoyNimbus]

Wow, didn't know that. I thought it was an intruder to drunk to find the way out again.

I conclude that this mammoth died from liver cirrhosis.

Who knew that there was an alcholic Mammoth

Wine collection = 700$ Wine cellar reno = 3200$ Finding Mammoth bone and haveing house guests for the next 6 months = Priceless? 🤔

[@theycallmekdawg]

That's the most direct evidence of the dangers of alcohol.

[@zapfanzapfan]

So, what wine goes well with mammoth?

[@buzz5969]

Id guess red since I doubt mammoths have white meat🤡

Mammouth -Rothshild Grand Cru 35.000 BC bien sûr !!! Quelle question. 🧐

Austrian cellars tend to hide worse secrets. I prefer this kind of find!

This story has aged well

[@longdongsilver1255]

Well both northern america and europe were covered in ice during the last ice age.

*Licks mammoth bone; swishes around in mouth; smacks lips* "Ah yes. Vintage 15000 BC. That was a very good year!"

[@wendybird1824]

That is a pretty accurate archaeological method

[@DeborahThird-og1uo]

Poor mammoth was probably looking for ice wines.

[@jonathanroberts-bj7yl]

What Mammoth species?

[@awkwardsean5141]

MAN MOTHS?!

[@kierenmoore3236]

He was ‘renovating his wine cellar’ … 👀 I wonder where he ended up putting the human bodies.

[@jamiefoyers2800]

If there was any "ghostly" shaking of the wine cellar bottles...it was the past vibrations of the mammoths from another time period. Of all the weird places to find a mammoth...

Nonsense.

[@ScentlessSun]

There’s something very silly about this entire interview to my American ears and I can’t put my finger on it.

[@ytdertignulses201]

It is actually a Monty Python sketch.

[@sapirIL_UKR]

The interviewer lacks a sense of humor and asks questions that are so silly they make the respondents laugh.

[@markshrimpton3138]

It’s fairly typical of what passes for an interview on the BBC these days.

I am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 6 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 15,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 45,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967717415667 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/--~«««~-♡~♡~♡~~•~•~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡♡♡~~~: ~:~¡~¡~¡~;I.i.i.i.i.i. i.I.|-......
