There's a city in France (Chambery) in honour of the Indian Maratha with four elephants surrounding a fountain, they only have the front sculpted so they're called "les quatre sans cul": the four without ass because the sculptor apparently didn't know their anatomy

Where war elephants were used so far
“So?”
“So, war elephants are tropical. This is temperate zone.”
Perhaps they migrated
Wikipedia calls it doubtful, though there are sources which say it happened. I'm curious about Denmark though!
That's Roman Britain so it is probably glazing the territories held by the Roman Empire. This is likely a map of areas that were ruled by an entity that used war elephants.
Roman Emperor Claudius, so the story goes. If it did happen, it might have been for show rather than because it was really practical for warfare.
There's a story of a logistical miracle right here... 🙆🏼♂️🤔

Those islands used to be connected ~2 million years ago, and thus all have native elephant populations.
My guesses are: the Majapahits used war elephants at some point in the 14th century, or a British puppet used them in the 1800s.
in age of empires, i would mass build them all the time. after using the "trade market trick"
How did they get to the islands
Elephants love to swim!
On ships.
But elephant big. Trireme small.
XIII? Or possible earlier?

EDIT: I'm reading this article. Look what you made me do! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_maritime_history
I am curious, is the Yellow in South Arabia in reference to Year of the Elephant or is that seen as not credible and there was a whole different Elephant event in that region I never knew about?
