What do you mean? I really don’t know.
I thought of that, but those birds were native to South America. (Is it possible the movie’s supposed to be set there? Nothing would surprise me.)
In all but a few places Mammoths died out at the end of the last Ice Age in 8,000 BC. The first pyramids where constructed around 2,500 BC. It’s not like this is the Flintstones or anything.
Visit Beautiful Wrangle Island Mammoth Sanctuary…
Okay, so we’re good on the Mammoths
I saw no pyramids (taking your meaning as Egyptian pyramids) in the trailer. I did see a rather improbable ziggurat, however. Ziggurats were built much earlier than classic (Egyptian) pyramids, although not 10k years ago to anyone’s knowledge.
Yes. There were terror-bird equivalents (yes, unrelated) in Australia and surroundings. So its not that huge a leap, what the heck.
Well, wait a minute. Wouldn’t that be circa 8,000 B.C.? Freaking lying titles!
(Although I expect that this will rank 4,612th on the list of logical/historical problems for this movie.)
When I saw wooly mamoths and pyramid construction in the same movie, I thought of Graham Hancock.

Well, it can’t be any worse than Caveman.[/QUOTE]
Wha-aat? “worse than Caveman”? Caveman is one of the funniest movies ever made, I’ll have you know!
Does he do so while he’s been turned into a monkey by an evil sorcerer?
I think it is a rather conspicuous display of what this message board is so good at. Throwing up artificially clear delineations of time. They believe they can pin everything in time, but truly all that the archaeologists and anthroplogists can pin down is when metal was widespread. Surely there werr some hundreds, maybe thousands of years of mettalurgy and experimentation before the generally accepted diaspora,with that temporal proximity and delineation of dated metal tools. It’s likely the first blades split from the earth, geo heat and a metal deposit. People might have had the knowledge in pockets of progress, and the technology might have been lost and reinvented many times.
Was that a “special person” (DS), that was shown in the original ? Or was it an Alien?
I’m not sure if that’s damning or praise. I’ll hope for the best. 
It’s praise. I agree, in other words.
I believe many of the so-called “scientists” around here are much too rigid in imagination. Why are you threatened by the next Jurrassic Park? This could be your time to shine. Lots of people don’t know that the animals depicted in this Fantasy did all actually coexist with man. It’s the Jesusmammoth.
Do you mean in the trailer? I noticed a really odd looking fellow (humanish, but no hair, bug eyed), and was wondering what his story was (alien? forerunner of some sort? bronze vendor? ). I’m not sure what DS means. ETA: Down’s Syndrome?
When did every one around here turn into Comicbook Guy? Used to be at least some people could suspend disbelief and enjoy an action movie. It’s a movie, not a history textbook.
It is entirely possible to suspend disbelief and enjoy a film for what it is…and still nitpick the hell out it. I, for one, intend to do both.
Hear, hear.
Was that for me, or Loach?
You. I added your quote to clarify.
Great, now I look illiterate.
