"We must not jump to conclusions. These footprints may appear prehistoric but be of a modern creature. "

You're wrong.

Those are human footprints.

Water Buffalo footprints are different.

Very interesting video, well presented. Two of the books I just ordered from Booktopia are those by Gavin Menzies, I had read them before on loan but want to read them again. He makes a strong case for Chinese exploration of the Americas...plus

1421 The Year the Chines Discovered the World
1434 The Year a Magnificent Chinese Fleet Sailed to Italy and Ignited the Renaissance.

I believe they said it was submerged for some time...

Previous research suggests that, during the last ice age (which ended around 11,700 years ago), humans moved into the Americas from Asia across what was then a land bridge to North America, ... . In this study, the research team excavated intertidal beach sediments on the shoreline of Calvert Island, British Columbia, where the sea level was two to three meters lower than it is today at the end of the last ice age.

Somehow, I'm missing something.

These are 13,000 years old, 1,300 years before "the end of the last ice age" (a misnomer in itself), so what does the "2-3 meters of lower sea levels" then have to do with anything, when 13,000 years ago, the level was still well over 50 meters lower?

Even at 11,000 YBP, it was still 30-40 meters lower.

What is it I'm missing or getting wrong?

Probably east, toward higher ground. :^)

Thanks for trying, but...

I’ll do a search on “Vashon Glaciation”, and see what I find

Found it fascinating - the people and their culture as photographed in the very early 19 hundreds were so much like the Native Americans...
