I find the various comments quite interesting. Working in this field of science over the last 3 decades I find that most viewpoints were some what biased and misinformed. We know that mammoth tusks have been found for over three centuries by the hundreds of thousands. There is no rarity or lack of supply for their procurement commercially or for scientific research. Many individual collectors will pay in the thousands of dollars for collection cabnet examples. The Chinese are driving prices up dramatically for their use in carved ivory trade in jewelry and artistic decorative forms. This fossil trade relieves the demand for the living species ivory trade and will help reduce the slaughter that unfortunately is still driven by the demand for local Bush meat in Africa. It's counter productive to restrict active collecting of these specimens and certainly does not endanger the livelihood of an extinct species or their living relatives. Clearly many universities and scientific research organizations are studying mammoth tusks and frozen carcasses for DNA and pathology studies like those in Russia, Japan, Germany and the USA. The University of Michigan's program under their fine world class paleontology department is a leader in mammoth tusk research. The greatest threat imposed by the passionate and commercially oriented collectors is how they are changing the environment by using high pressure water dredging on the Siberian topography. Also many other important vertebrate remains are frequently overlooked by these teams as many do not have qualified professional paleontologists to scrutinize what being discarded. There are many vertebrate taxa that are equally if not more important that may be discovered in these sediments. Also it clear that even if it were possible to save every scrap of bone from these collection areas they would easily fill every major museum in the world. Unfortunately these institutions are cash strapped and undertaking such a challenge would be economically disastrous. There is just too little funding. So this science is between a rock and a hard place financially. At best it would be reasonable to set up a partnership with the commercial collectors and the scientific community. This commercial fossil industry is certainly far from perfect but until the general public realizes that some research on this material is better than the alternative, leaving vertebrate fossil to disintegrate in the open elements and ignore them as a scientific resource completely. It's better to reach a goal for creating a working relationship with these companies and salvage what is reasonable and possible economically. Many commercial fossil collecting companies have striven to partner with various professionals in this science. I really enjoyed the video and hope more like it are offered to the public..

@@ZechsMerquise73 unfortunately a large number of paleontologists have aligned with politicians attempting to out law public fossil collecting altogether even to the point of relinquishing private property ownership. The UK has a treasure act in place where a collector of fossils and artifacts must be turned into their district public magistrate to review the importance of their find and a professional is assigned to determine its scientific value. If this is a common discovery of the kind already in abundance in the British Museum collection they are released to the collector and then must split the find fairly with the land owner. Of those specimens that are of national importance then the state is entitled to procure it but must equally pay the collector and land owner the fair market value of the find. The UK has a public fund under their government to pay such endowments. I believe more countries should adopt this strategy to save historical and prehistory resources. Everyone would win and the professional community would be able to save far more important specimens. In this way it would allow the general public the ability to encounter rare specimens in the field rather than allow these resources to weather away in the field.

@@miss.yesgoodplease1643 at this time there is no substantial or even the slightest residual evidence of these tusks being used as ornamental objects during the end of their existance in North America. We know that tusks are represent as intrinsic building materials on circular house structures in Russia. Some tusks in Europe have produced carvings at a few sites. We have some evidence of Mammoth hunting and Mastodon remains that were butchered here in America. At this time only human remains are repatriated to tribal members in North America. I have been actively working in that program for many years. At this time the archaeological community has never requested a single mammoth tusk to be repatriated to any indigenous tribe. If a carved mammoth tusk were to be interred with Native American burial remains that could be a valid repatriation for consideration. Otherwise its just an assumption that these tusks would all be considered as archaeological artifacts. Most are simply the remains of mammoth that died from natural causes and few could be proven to be associated with human intervention.

It is fascinating to see the large megafauna uncovered by this tundra thaw but just imagine what's being lost. For Example: there's pollen in every inch of soil, we can tell what plants were thriving in which layers, and compare that to the dates of different events and establish major ecological events of the past relating to forest fires or undersea currents changing. CURRENTLY we have that technology, but the context is all lost if the ground is partially ice and the ice melts ruining the layers/seriation. So we're losing untold mass amounts of ancient data from the thawing and we're losing "whatever" the future could have created new technology to study, the stuff we can't conceive of finding in archaeology yet is also being lost.

Nobody will be able to dig those in situ anyway. Those sculpted tusks were some works of art too.

Minus the personal risk they take these items would just be swallowed up by the earth if not for their perilous job.

So aleast for that specific area it could have been a rapid deglaciation event in the area. Volcanic activity or space debris or something like lake Missoula floods could have basically drowned and swept up a bunch of animals. So bloat and float is a bad way to put it. It should be float then bloat? Or swept then sink then stink? Lol. Disclaimer I know nothing, just stoned watching a video hah. P.s. curious about date due to younger dryas impact hypothesis stuff. Like sure you'll find well preserved remains throughout permafrost. But there could be concentrations of animal corpse deposition and if there's enough energy ot could erode permafrost layers with other animals already dead in those layers and redeposit with the freshly dead. In those areas where there is many skeletons of multiple species in 1 sediment layer

The mammoths died all at once in a massive blast that killed everything. Possibly by our Suns micro nova. We're due for another one soon.

No, ancient humans nuked them to death with nuke laser rays

Long bows would have done well in the Revolutionary War. It was even suggested but the amount of training and strength needed was too much to be implemented in a short amount of time.

Thanks.

The scientists should go along with them on their digs and just take the "offcuts". The miners need to make money so might as well work with them. Crazy that the bones of these other "worthless" animals are just getting washed away into the river

I think that when the frontiers are open I will go there to get those things, is not illegal in my country to sell those kind of bones and I think I can get a good price for them.

Is anyone going to talk about how fucked this is, just the fact that their digging through already melting ice, the tunnels they dig are exposing the bottom part of the ice to the outside Heat and now it’ll not only melt from the outside now but from the inside too, you just gotta love the domino effects, oh us humans.

@@yuktichaudhari2247 spot on, it’s sickening, your right, why didn’t we build with nature in mind from the start, the power hungry have a never ending drive for more, no matter the cost, it was never about protecting and coexisting with nature though it should’ve been, the native Americans had it right, they knew the importance of the delicate nature we take for granted, goes to show how corrupt some can be given power and how unimaginable their hunger is for more power, and control. I’ll say though seems so calculated these people got us on a train that’s gunna run off the cliff, and we are in the passenger cart enjoying their play while behind the curtain they are poisoning the food and destroying the train.

I hope many of the mammoth 🦣 tusks and other prehistoric bones and fossils manage to get to museums.

That Skull with tissue and hair at 5:34 looks unreal. Like the mammoth died 2 months ago. Even the ears and eyelids, etc. are still visible.

But where’s the squirrel???

At least they don't kill live elephants just for tusks...

STALKER in real life, instead hunting relics it hunts ancient tusk

In any case, those bones will end up in the river when everything melts. So at least someone should get enriched from those bones.

True. As the scientist says nobody is interested in funding them to do the same, so if the hunters weren't there it would all get destroyed anyhow.

This is good vice

They could sell animal skulls too, especially saber tooth tiger skulls. I want one.

All that Ancient remains just lying on the ground wow

I won't be surprised to see next video being natural gas and oil discovered in the same area.

Honestly I don’t see what’s wrong with this? Meeting the demand for ivory without having to take the lives of living elephants

I agree! Anything fossilized will take the weather fine out of the ground (still 0 degrees) all scientists should be flocking to the area and grabbing what they dont use, it seems they dont have an issue giving the stuff they dont need away but its super remote , im sure they wash away fleshy some fleshy bits though, but honestly if the permafrost is melting anything that was preserved wont be for long, itll get turned into oil underground once decomposition starts. Scientists already has a large number of tusks and even a whole baby carcass to study with living cells, thats pretty much the pinnacle of mammoth finds anyway, as fresh as they get! But it seems the whole area is riddled with a ridiculous amount and theres now way even a tiny % will be uncovered before decomposition given the rapid melt rate.

@@MCGreen13 they are not usefull for science there are probably milions of fossils of all kinds of animals in the permafrost its not like its 100 milion years old fossils its 15 thousand years old bones and they are plentyfull

Should use that money for engineers to buttress those caves

Atleast some of it is going to scientist because this stuff is ancient and amazing

I love when thumb nails have the wrong pick. That’s a horn not a tusk

They are wasting the oppurtunity there's a market for saber tooths

It’s terrible. But I can also appreciate that when they find something unique or that they deem special, they have enough respect for the history to donate it to researchers.

are hunters incentivised and or encoureged to take photos over stages from initial sighting to final extraction?? Striations and surroundings can reveal details. is REforestation keeping track with gas released in process?

Is anyone else worried about the environmental impact that accelerating the melting rate of an already melting permafrost to unearth ice ivory?? This is being done in Alaska USA too.

Incredible scientific and historical finds being destroyed for greed.
