一組調查人員在墨西哥中部發現了一個古老的猛犸象的遺骸。

A team of investigators in the central Mexican state of Queretaro has uncovered the remains of an ancient mammoth over 10 thousand years old.
The bones were found in Huimilpan municipality and include tusks, skull fragments and other pieces still to be identified.
Anthropologists worked tirelessly at the excavation site, carefully brushing away dirt and debris to reveal the astonishing discovery. With this rare find, scholars are optimistic about unearthing more ancient remains.
Archaeologist Fiorella Finoglio Limon says, "There are some fragments which are in a very bad state, but there are others in very good condition. It's about 10 to 15 thousand years old, it's a very important discovery for Mexico because it's very easily destroyed or lost, and with these animal remains excavated, we can explore the history of who had these animals and when they inhabited this region."
The mammoth was discovered in an area that was recently eroded by a flood. The archaeologists are currently working to get rid of dampness in the remains before working on restoring them.
The central Mexican state has revealed some prized ancient discoveries in recent years, but much of the local population is unaware of the ancient treasures buried beneath them.
Anthropologist Israel Lara Barajas says, "We have put up posters with information on the projects that the

National Institute of Anthropology and History is doing, and how they are doing it, where we are located. We try to raise awareness in the local community about the cultural heritage, archaeology, and palaeontology in the state of Queretaro. "
Now, the mammoth's 1.8 meters tusks are being carefully worked on by anthropologists in Queretaro, where officials eventually hope to put the ancient remains on public display at a local museum.
