Question: Which came first: the Great Pyramid of Giza, or the extinction of the woolly mammoth?
Answer: The pyramid. The Great Pyramid was completed around 2560 B.C., but a small population of woolly mammoths held on for another 500 years or more on Wrangel Island, off the coast of Siberia, dying out around 2000 B.C. The mainland herds were long gone by then, but the island stragglers outlived the pharaohs who built Giza.
