Anyone who was listening in the cove, I knew I wasn't making it up. Behold the Mamuthones:

That's astonishing - the movements and especially the masks of the Mamuthones! Wonder if there's a folk memory there of the last days of the Neanderthals.

Excellent! I'd LOVE to see that!

Mamuthones...

Sounds like summat out of Doctor Who (no disrespect, of course!) and looks REALLY eerie! Those masks are SO cool!

Good find, SM - I remember you talking about it and being met with blank expressions all round... Myself included!
