[QUOTE]Originally posted by XicanConnection: [QB] [QUOTE]Of course, the Mastodon had been extinct for at least 10,000 years before the artifacts were made. If the idea is that a memory of an extinct creature had been passed down from generation to generation by the way of artform....you'd think that there'd be a history of such art from 8, 6, and 4,000 BC. Not just during the Olmec period around 1,500BC?[/QUOTE] Interestingly, elephants were originally indigenous to North America, but the Bering Ithsmus during the Ice Age gave them the opportunity to migrate to Europe, Asia, and Africa. The mammoths and mastodons that remained in North America would eventually perish as the immigrant humans hunted them to extinction. In Mesoamerica, these humans would be classified as [URL=http://members.aol.com/emdelcamp/tepexpan.wav] Texpapan[/URL] Man, who settled into the region by 10,000 B.P. Mastodons would not become extinct until 8,000 B.P. - nearly four thousand years after their extinction north of Mesoamerica. So, yes the possibility of the memory of elephants beign past down generation to generation does excist. [/QB][/QUOTE]
