pharaohs and mammoths existed at the same time

This one got me. I always thought mammoths died out before major civilizations.

They continued on quite long in an isolated place in northern Siberia. But since it's an isolated population of mammoths, it's kinda cheaty because this comparison sentence always makes people think "oh mammoths roamed eurasia still when the Pharaos were around!"

They were also miniaturized mammoths ... so were they really "mammoths"?
