In checking out the posts for comment #11, in the second article I noticed something interesting in the photo of footprint B 4. It is of course hard to be certain from a photo like this, but it appears that there are noticeable
ridges in the heal area and also a bit in the ball of the foot area that would be the result of lifting the foot out of sticky muck where the mud would cling to the bottom of the foot as it was pulled away. I have produced exactly the same marks pulling a spoon away from the surface of cake batter. There also appears to be a bit of a slide mark at the rear of the heel as if it slid forward about an inch in slippery conditions. Both these kinds of marks would be very hard to counterfeit in solid rock, if they even would occur to someone pulling a hoax.
Likewise, the Mayan calendar which ends it's "Age" in 2012 and begins a new calendar cycle..
It also appears to have a cycle of 25,000 years or so..
( I have read cycles ranging from 24K to 26K, and do not know what is considered the "accurate" calculation.. )
At any rate, the cycle is recognized by more than one culture..
Does not appear to be a hoax.
The Romans referred to it. At that time it was taken as 10,000 years up to 36,000 years. Been known a long time, which is kind of strange unless there were ancient records and astonomers way back a long time ago.
If so, what should we be looking for? It's not a bright star. How far would the second star be from the sun and what kind of mass would do the job of making the equinox precess, or in the Copernican style, making the sun appear to move against the stellar background? At present it is a wave of the hands about some mysterious earth wobble, and that wobble seems like Ptolemaic epicycles. It would be a second Copernican revolution.
"May relate to...the Great Year, which is about 24,000 years..."
Actually it takes a little more than 26,000 years for the complete revolution of our polar axis, that is the slow circle through the heavens whereby right now our north star is Polaris, but in around 13,000 years it will be Vega. I tried to find the exact figure in a book, but did not succeed. (I just checked an old dictionary and under Precession of the Equinoxes it said nearly 26,000 years.) It should be on the internet somewhere. Thus each "age", as for example the Age of Aquarius that we are entering lasts around 2,000 years. Interesting historical/mythical info. We are just finishing the Age of Pices which began around 2,000 years ago and is the age of Jesus. Before that was the Age of Aries (the ram) around 4,000 years ago, and coincides with the adventures of Jason and the Golden Fleece. In fact around 1900 BC Egyptians (Sesostris) were in Colchis by the Black Sea which was an important source of a crocus which supplied colchicine, the primary medication for treating gout. A related crocus supplies saffron, both are golden in color. It just occurred to me that a bunch of dried crocus stamens thrown together probably had a curly fleecy look before they were processed into powder.
The fleece was the mythological symbol of the magnetic compass needle, a fantastic advance in navigation tech.
Interesting. Humans must of been in America for at least 50,000 years. It would not surprise me if they came from the South Pacific.
Yup. I startled some years ago when I asked the question, "how many humans were killed when the Barringer Meteorite landed in Arizona?" LOL.
