I tried playing with `` Mammoth dismantling puzzle '' that can dismantle and assemble mammoths that lived in the Paleolithic era

The mammoth, an elephant that was once hunted by the ancestors of mankind, is divided into 37 parts. I heard that you can make mammoth meat using the attached meat parts, so I tried touching the disjointed parts and experiencing the feelings of ancient people.

The contents of the set are listed on the back side. The material of the parts is PVC (polyvinyl chloride), and the target age is 6 years old or older.

The contents are various parts and a mammoth data book (assembly guide).

There are three main types of parts. Below are the basic body parts.

Then a slightly smaller visceral part and ...

Bone parts.

The Mammoth Data Book contains the ecology of mammoths, as well as the locations and names of their bones and internal organs. Basically, you will assemble while looking at this data book.

First, start assembling from the body parts. Because the parts have holes like this ...

Connect by inserting another part into the hole.

Assemble the part that hits the foot in the same way ......

Once completed. Next, I will put the internal organs here.

There is a hole on the back side of the built-in part, which matches the groove carved on the body part assembled earlier.

It looks like this when you actually put it in. You can put in the internal organs from the end, or you can put in the big ones first.

However, since there are very small parts, it is necessary to be careful not to lose them when playing and to prevent small children from accidentally swallowing them.

After inserting the internal organs, next is the bone parts. These are related to the way of inserting bones on top of bones, so the order in which they are added is very important. However, since there is no order in which to insert the bones in the data book, it is necessary to grope the bones while checking the positions of the bones. This time, I will put it in from the easy-to-understand tail.

From the tail, insert the tail vertebrae, sacral vertebrae, dorsal vertebrae, and cervical vertebrae, then insert the skull with fangs to complete the upper part.

Then stack the ribs on the dorsal vertebrae ......

Connect the parts of the forefoot.

The scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, metacarpus, and phalanges are placed there.

Assemble the hind legs in the same way, completing the bone parts.

Attach the last remaining ear ......

Add the remaining fangs and you're done.

The whole image after assembly is completed is like this. Stands on its own on 4 legs.

Looking from the other side like this ......

Looking from the front like this.

In addition, the mammoth dismantling puzzle also comes with parts for making 'mammoth meat'. As for how to use this...

Simply remove the femoral (roughly) bone from the mammoth and combine it with the meat parts.

Now you can get meat. Did ancient people eat meat like this?
