Visit the distant past with this Prehistoric LEGO Set! Where woolly mammoths and dire wolves live alongside early humans.

I designed this settlement to represent the Mesolithic Era (Middle Stone Age)

This time period is associated with the hunter-gatherer way of life. The people here became less nomadic and started building small huts to live in. It was also thought to be the time that animals started to become domesticated. I’ve represented this with two albino dire wolf pups named Romulus and Remus and a mammoth named Tusk!

These tribes are not meant to indicate any specific culture or geographical location. I imagined what early humans might have been like during this time period. I built them a small community with a cave and stone monument. The cave has handprint paintings on the wall, bats and spiders and some rare purple gemstones. The stone monument has an alter where food can be placed for celebrations or other community gatherings. One of these tribes has even built a carriage that allows them to ride on the back of the mammoth!

Some of the wall and rock paintings were inspired by Retro LEGO Elements or Classic Castle Factions. There are intentionally seven Minifigures which represents the number of people in my immediate family. There are also seven handprints in the cave, each one for a different Minifig.

The biggest challenge for this design was choosing elements and clothing that would represent the people of this time period. The tools are made from stone, wood and bone. I like to believe the bones were collected from animals that met their end from natural causes. And that the majority of clothing, bedding, etc. are made from plants. These people have a deep connection with their environment and respect for nature.
