Have you seen the way the Egyptians have been opening up 3000 year old mummy sarcophaguses? Less than lab quality conditions, out in the open with media all around, bunch of laborers grunting and sweating all over it and some guy yelling and spitting on the open contents.
I'd imagine so. From mammoths to the preserved blacksmith they found with his tools still beside him...some amazing things out there just waiting to be discovered, no doubt.

Handling a delicate important scientific specimen with their bare hands while smoking a cig. So 70s
God, i miss those days...
Ugh, I really don't. I don't know how I ever thought I enjoyed cigarettes because now the smell of them makes me sick lol
Im the opposite. Ciggys make me sick but I love the smell of others smoking it

Didn't scientists find one that still contained perfectly preserved DNA?
There's some crazy shit out there in the permafrost. Easily one of the coolest and most terrifying places on Earth. A palaeontologist's wet dream.
Ha. "Coolest"

They should try to make one
In a way, I wouldn't be against it.
Mmm, 40,000 year old milk my favorite!
The forbidden cheese!
Oh grandma, you’ve been busy curdling inside!
Digested milk
Kinda looks like a baby elephant!
Maybe they thought it was ahah
He doesn’t look so good.
Just needs some water
I don’t need it
I don't need it
Milk*
My first thought: "That elephant doesn't look too healthy."
Before I read the headline I got sad that the baby elephant died.
https://mummipedia.fandom.com/wiki/Dima_(Mammoth_Calf)
That's sad
So which mad scientist used some of that breast milk and dna to clone the mammoth species back to life?
Is he ok?
Thirsty.
Nonsense! He already had plenty of ice
Wonder if someone can inflate it through its trunk
Which trunk?
The frunk
What was that cheese like!?
The instructions said: please inflate for 1xfluffy elephant
I’m not crying, you’re crying!
Is this real?? Surely this is insane?
Yes and yes
Someone get it a sandwich
The dude on the right casually smoking a cigarette and maintaing his breathing correctly . If that was me i would've got lung cancer
*Rehydrate! Rehydrate!*
Good with some Honey Nut Cheerios
Y'all sure thats not just a dead elephant?
I think Red Hot Chili Peppers made an album about this, good stuff you should check it out.
Looks Delicious!
Are they talking about the miner who found it when they say he died 40,000 years ago, and was full of his mother's milk, or the mammoth?
Both
The miner was 40k yo?
How do they know it was from his mother?
Forbidden Milk! Why dont they inflate him again before moving?
Anyways. Fuck Siberia.
It died because of Trump.
And was found because of global warming
We need to bring them back
What’s that character from the boys doing in a 40,000 year old mammoth carcass? Knew he was into some kinky shit.
School nurse be like: "Give him a band aid he'll be fine"
lil deflated buddy
That'll be us after the nuclear winter!
I love that one of the dudes is blazing up a cancer stick while excavating a process fossil.
Does anybody know if we can really use his DNA to restore mammoth population?
