“researchers suspect it was discarded by someone who had found it less than useful in the snow and ice.”

That theory seems somewhat optimistic.

If you were deserting the Roman army back in the day, how far would you run?

The Lyngen Alps (Norwegian: Lyngsalpene) are a mountain range in northeastern Troms og Finnmark county in Norway, east of the city of Tromsø. The mountains are of alpine character, popular among extreme skiers.

If he was wearing socks with sandals he was probably a German tourist.

Globullwarming…

Too many factories and SUV’s 1500 years ago?

Btw- co2 is a much smaller component of greenhouse gasses than h2o.
Humans/factories have no impact on atmospheric water vapor. Natural H2O variation overwhelms the small percentage change of co2 causes in total greenhouse levels.

Water drives greenhouse gas changes, not co2.

Btw- I know u were being sarcastic…

Is it a size 11 double wide?
I lost a sandal while hiking a while back running away from some angry villagers. I think they got my buddy Ötzi the Iceman.....

You’re right about the German tourists wearing socks with sandals-a few come and stay at the guest ranches in the Summer here-I’ve seen them in our little restaurants and tourist traps-they are easy to spot-the footwear, and the fact that they are mostly silent and always reading something-at a restaurant table, waiting for a table, in a bar with a beer in front of them-doesn’t matter how much music/conversation, etc is going on around them, they are totally still and uninvolved-makes you wonder why they came to a tourist area in the 1st place...
