General information about Mammoth Monument (Kulishivka)
The Mammoth Monument in Kulishivka is the first such monument in the world.
It was established in 1841 in honor of a paleontological find made in 1839 by the Ukrainian scientist-naturalist, professor of Kharkiv University, Ivan Kalynychenko. He unearthed a well-preserved skeleton of a mammoth discovered by local residents during excavations. The find was presented to the zoological office of Kharkiv University.
At the suggestion of Professor Kalynychenko and with the participation of the owner of the estate, Count Yuriy Holovkin, in 1841, a 3-meter cast-iron memorial was erected at the place where the bones were found.
The Kulishivka monument to the mammoth is now a landmark of the district and is even depicted on its coat of arms.
Пам'ятник мамонтові в Кулішівці - перший подібний пам'ятник у світі.
Встановлений в 1841 році на честь палеонтологічної знахідки, зробленої в 1839 році українським вченим-натуралістом, професором харківського університету Іваном Калиниченком. Він відкопав скелет мамонта, що добре зберігся, виявлений місцевими жителями при проведенні земляних робіт. Знахідку подарували зоологічному кабінету Харківського університету.
На пропозицію професора Калиниченка та за участі власника маєтку графа Юрія Головкіна в 1841 році на тому місці, де були знайдені кістки, встановили 3-метровий чавунний пам'ятний знак.
Кулішівський пам'ятник мамонтові тепер є пам'яткою району і навіть зображений на його гербі.
