For the king had merchant ships at sea with the fleet of Hiram. Once every three years the merchant ships came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and monkeys.
(1 Kings 10:22) KJV
“Wooly mammoth and giant bisons”. Mammoth and other creatures were preserved in ice which formed when the waters of Noah’s flood evaporated. Evaporation causes cooling.

There was no ice age before Noah’s flood. Noah’s flood caused the ice age. The mammoth didn’t live in an icy environment, and paleoecological reconstructions of it are wrong. They get cause and effect in the wrong order.
