Many times people renovate their old house according to their needs. They add many new things to it. They get the interiors fixed. So that the space can be used properly and it also looks beautiful. Thinking this, a person decided to get his basement repaired so that it can be made beautiful. But as soon as he dug the floor, he saw such a sight that his eyes were wide open. Scientists called it an archaeological sensation.
According to the New York Post report, the case is from Austria. The Austrian Academy of Sciences said that Andreas Pernerstorfer, a resident of Gobelsburg, was renovating his wine cellar. Then he saw about 300 bones of at least three giant animals under the floor. At first he thought that maybe his grandfather had kept a piece of wood. But when he tried to dig it, he was stunned by what he saw. He immediately showed it to the expert.
Why are scientists calling it an archaeological sensation
When archaeologists investigated it, it was found that these giant bones belonged to mammoths, which are 30,000 to 40,000 years old. They took control of the entire area. Hannah Paro-Souchon, who is leading the excavation, said, it is rare to find such a large amount of mammoth bones in one place. This is the first time such a discovery has been made in Austria, so scientists are calling it an archaeological sensation. Pernerstorfer said, I thought it was a piece of wood left by my grandfather. But then I remembered that grandfather had once said that a few years ago he had found a tooth here. Then I thought it might be a giant animal. Thinking this, I dug it a little again. I was surprised to see such huge bones. I immediately informed the Central Museum about it. After this the excavation started.
You will get to know about extinct animals
Archaeologists believe that these bones will provide an opportunity to learn more about giant extinct animals like mammoths. It can also provide clues to how humans came into contact with these giant animals. Paro-Souchon said, we have strong evidence that humans must have hunted mammoths, but we do not know how. It is possible that this place was a place to keep the animals after hunting. Mammoths were last found roaming the earth about 4,000 years ago.
