Apparently, the evidence found is only a four-tusk elephant carving, which the author says is a representation of a two-million-year-old elephant ancestor.

Yet, in all buildings, there are representations of humorous animals, such as those found in Paris' Notre-Dame Cathedral. Someone also carved an astronaut in a cathedral in Spain as a joke [0]. Why would this four-tusk elephant not be a joke?

I don't think it is a joke, but this youtuber has never seem an religous painting, especially of the catholic church. So many different scenes painted centuries after they maybe happened.

Interesting. You mean a joke created by the original creators, or somebody later?

Another possibility is that elephants wore armor on their tusks that appeared to double them.
