Now, Varley takes another leap into the great unknown with Mammoth... <br><br> In a barren province of Canada, a mammoth hunter has made the discovery of a lifetime: an intact frozen wooly mammoth. But what he finds during the painstaking process of excavating the huge creature boggles the mind. Huddled next to the mammoth is the mummified body of a Stone Age man around 12,000 years old. And he is wearing a wristwatch. 48735 2005 Mammoth total:196|5:20|4:68|3:80|2:24|1:4| 196 664 262 38 4 1 false false Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Jan 04 08:05:17 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 04 08:06:34 -0800 2008
