Allow me to recount a gripping tale set in a future that could be just around the corner. Our story begins with an exciting discovery made by a Russian scientific expedition in the distant reaches of Siberia’s northern permafrost – the remains of a female mammoth, preserved for an astounding 22,000 years in the icy embrace of Saiylyk, a remote mining village.
As if the rising temperatures alone weren’t enough to thaw the frozen ground, it would be the industrial complex’s excavation and drilling that would disturb the eternal slumber of this magnificent creature. This perfectly preserved mammoth, as later revealed upon examining its stomach contents, had tragically met its end during childbirth, on an indeterminate spring day.

The identified viruses so far, around a dozen, date back tens of thousands of years. The oldest, dating back 48,500 years, is a giant virus called Pandoravirus yedoma, found buried beneath a lake, while other viruses have been extracted from various sources, including the fur of a mammoth and the intestines of a Siberian wolf, all entombed in permafrost.
