You could add Woolly Mammoths going extinct 4k years ago. Notable it its own right, and also because they overlapped with the pyramids being built.

Agree! Also Göbekli Tepe overlaps with saber tooth tigers extinction (10kya).

For most intents and purposes, Wooly Mammoths became irrelevant to the ecosystem, and to all but a few human populations ~10,000 years ago. The last surviving mammoths were isolated on a few scattered islands.

Yes. But the general perception is Wooly Mammoths were in another era long before the more "modern" pyramids and such.

TBH I wasn't aware the two overlapped. Now I know :)

That's a great idea! A big part of why I keep a personal list is because I can include things I really understand and care about (I tend to read more about archeobotany). But I highly encourage anyone to keep their own list. It's fun to watch it grow over time as you add entries that are actually meaningful to you
