You could add Woolly Mammoths going extinct 4k years ago. Notable it its own right, and also because they overlapped with the pyramids being built.

- finnh 4y agoAgree! Also Göbekli Tepe overlaps with saber tooth tigers extinction (10kya).
- gadders 4y agoI didn't know that. Good idea!
- n_morningstar26 4y agoSome one was trying to revive mammoth ! what happened to that project.
- vkou 4y agoFor most intents and purposes, Wooly Mammoths became irrelevant to the ecosystem, and to all but a few human populations ~10,000 years ago. The last surviving mammoths were isolated on a few scattered islands.
- chiefalchemist 4y agoYes. But the general perception is Wooly Mammoths were in another era long before the more "modern" pyramids and such. TBH I wasn't aware the two overlapped. Now I know :)
- culi 4y agoThat's a great idea! A big part of why I keep a personal list is because I can include things I really understand and care about (I tend to read more about archeobotany). But I highly encourage anyone to keep their own list. It's fun to watch it grow over time as you add entries that are actually meaningful to you
