GGG Ping.

I think you can animals in the arrangement of the stars at night if you look long enough. I doubt there is anything to this.

[Coyoteman]

I have my doubts on this one too.

[AntiGuv]

FWIW, if one's footprints are on volcanic ash, there's probably a good reason to be running..

[mtbopfuyn]

Quick, someone call Helen and ask if she remembers walking across there.

[AndrewC]

I doubt there is anything to this.

Looks like a footprint next to a foot to me.

[blam]

"I have my doubts on this one too."

I doubt they'll be able to prove they're footprints, if they are.

[Dog Gone]

That would be an amazing arch.

"It was a sensational discovery - human footprints said to be 40,000 years old, preserved by volcanic ash pointed north under a fence near El Paso, Texas.

[ElkGroveDan]

Were they heading North?

[Little Bill]

Somewhere Leakey is laughing his ass off. I read a nut book years ago that posited that the world was settled from North America.

[MrBambaLaMamba]

I claim these footprints to be of my ancestors and demand reparations from all who have since invaded our lands.

"Somewhere Leakey is laughing his ass off. "

I'm not so sure. He thinks the artifacts at Calico were man-made.

"(1) the authenticity of the artifacts; are they truly the product of human manufacture, or merely naturally produced "geofacts?" and (2) the obvious pre-Clovis age of the deposits (see, for example, lengthy discussions in Leakey and others, 1968; Haynes, 1973; Bryan, 1978; Taylor and Payen, 1975; Carter, 1980; Meighen, 1983; Patterson, 1983; and Budinger and Simpson, 1985)."

"I claim these footprints to be of my ancestors and demand reparations from all who have since invaded our lands."

You may be correct.

POSSIBLE MIGRATION ROUTES

Ah! The Good Old Days when the footprints went North to South!

[MrBambaLaMamba]

I'm not greedy either, figure a buck a head will do.

[AndrewC]

That would be an amazing arch.

Kinda like these with a little erosion.

***Quick, someone call Helen and ask if she remembers walking across there.***

Okay, I called her. She said she remembers walking to an Aztec Coucil meeting which she was covering for the WaPopocatepetl at the time.

[Dog Gone]

Okay, if you say so. 1.3 million year old rock, and a human the size of that woman wearing black pants to the beach captured forever.
