Abstract :In architectural inferences for archaeological research, it is of great importance that physical evidence is correlated and interpreted through analogy. From this perspective, there is evidence that many examples of huts that may be related to each other and to the mammoth skeletal structure have been built in the Old and New World since prehistoric times. The structure of the mammoth trunk cage may have been a model for the load-bearing system of tent-type huts and roofs, which were thought to have been made with tree branches since ancient times. In early people, situations were often observed where faith and building activities fed and intertwined with each other. There are also some finds and interpretations in the literature that mammoths are accepted as a ritualistic idol. The interaction of construction and belief activities in human history can also be interpreted through the profound impact of mammoths on human cultural evolution.
