EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, an archaeologist is seen sitting next to the unearthed remains of a pre-historic straight-tusked elephant, making this the first discovery of its kind. The discovery was made at Upnor, near Chatham in Kent, England, on the 21st of December, 1916. The straight-tusked elephant, which is depicted in the background of the image, is larger than a mammoth and is an important find in the field of pre-history. The archaeologist, with a serious expression and donning a hat and heavy coat, carefully examines the remains of the elephant's skull, taking meticulous notes and measurements. The excavation site is surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, who are eagerly observing the progress of the dig. In the background, the remains of the elephant's massive tusks can be seen jutting out of the ground, providing a sense of scale to the discovery. The straight-tusked elephant was a large, robust species that roamed Europe during the Pleistocene epoch, around 500,000 to 100,000 years ago. This discovery at Upnor is significant because it provides important insights into the ecology and behavior of these ancient creatures, and sheds light on the rich biodiversity of Europe during the Ice Age. The find also underscores the importance of archaeological research in uncovering the mysteries of our past and expanding our understanding of human history. This photograph is a testament to the dedication and curiosity of archaeologists and historians, who continue to uncover new discoveries and push the boundaries of our knowledge of the past. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving and studying our historical and cultural heritage, and of the enduring allure of the unknown and the mysteries of the past.
