Kings Avenue Mall Goes Back In Time!
From a different angle you can see somebody inside the hut.
To The Animals
Most of the other exhibits featured animals. These were actually animated. Heads and tails moved from side to side, and you could hear appropriate grunts. I have published a film of the Paphos Mall Ice Age Exhibition if you want to see what they looked like.
The extinction of animals
Towards the end of the Ice Age, the extinction of many, mainly giant, mammals (megafauna) was observed. Various theories have attributed this disappearance to human hunting, climate change and perhaps some collision with an extraterrestrial body. Nevertheless, the extinction event was one of several extinction events that occurred over the past 50,000 years.
I didn't take pictures of every sign, but you should be able to get the idea.
I don't think this is actually called Thunderbird. I googled "two horned rhino predecessor", and found something called a Megacerops which looks like this. Weirdly, if you translate Megacerops to Greek, then back to English, you get "Giant Hornet".

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
