@Gary Allen As more and more facts are gathered, most prior assumptions and theories fall like ten pins. Ancient DNA has blown away much of European early "history" and the casual assumptions of "who I am and who we are". "Germans" are really "Russians" who were once "Greeks" and "Palestinians" who most likely walked out of "Africa". Virtually all of the real early Europeans died off and our DNA isn't their DNA yet a strong Neanderthal component remains. Our "history" must be redone from scratch and simply await more facts.
Reminds me of my favourite evangelical Christian parable about a man going to Heaven and reviewing his life with God. In one part he sees where he walked with God along a beach and he could see two sets of footprints. Then in one part of the beach it becomes rough and rocky and he sees only one set of footprints. He turns to God and says “ Why did you leave me just when the going got rough?” God says to him “ That’s where I carried you.”
When I was about 14, I and my friend found three toed tracks in shale/limestone? On rock shelf in a large drainage cut. This was on private land just off a public road by Buffalo Lake south of Umbarger Texas. I often wonder if they are still there as they were in a huge outcropping.
Now you know why 'science' is, and should be, questioned. People view data and artifacts and formulate. The problem is that when you question, they get defensive. When people questioned Clovis, this happened. Many archeologists posited that people roamed North America even earlier. Now we know that was accurate.

This year is my 43rd archery season and I am known in my area as a good tracker. I'd like to comment on the tracks of the woman carrying a child. I'd have to see them but i can say that the purpose for her hurrying is at the final destination or else she would have walked back. If the sloth stopped at her track shortly after running into them then she was hurrying to make it back before dark. A sloth wouldn't cross that dangerous area during the day. I don't think the woman wanted to cross at night, because she could not use our most important sense (sight) for defense. This is why turkeys go to the fields during a rain. Because rain nullifies their hearing. They need sight more than ever. By the way, I would bet that the sloth walked into the wind, which is common for a prey around many predators.

The Bible tells us the Earth is just over 6,000 years old, the age of the entire universe is much older, approximately 6,000 years + 1 day(because God created the universe first, then created Earth the next day)...

BY HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW: Lives of great men all remind us. We can make our lives sublime. And, departing, leave behind us. Footprints on the sands of time" ...

The wide toes are especially noticeable in the prints. I've had friends who never wore shoes and their feet were really different looking, due to thick skin and padding. I went for a month without shoes once, I could feel the padding get thicker and thicker under the skin.
@@danimotherofchickens479 Native Americans are the only proof of existence to this land first. There’s proof of that!!! The white colonists didn’t kill all of us!! We’re still here. These footprints are most likely indigenous! Until they find a skull to date back to prove otherwise. Native Americans are the true inhabitants to this land!
I can't figure out why the tracks are still there. Looking at the video it looks like the sand is very loose, but maybe it has hardened. I guess it is over my head how they determine it's age.
I would not be surprised to find that even these artifacts do not extend back as far in time as humans have inhabited the America's -- I would bet it goes back to more than 25,000 years before present.
There is no evidence that the descendants of the humans that made those prints survived to present day. There is no evidence yet of continuous habitation of the Americas from then to later times. For all we know they died off with the mega fauna of the day. It is possible that the people living here when the Europeans discovered the Americas were descendants of later population events. It is entirely possible that the Americas where peopled multiple times, and then those earlier population suffered extinction in the western hemisphere. Continuity needs to be proven.
The Natives of the Americas have been here for much longer than u know, and DNA has been studied very well. We r NOT from Africa as so many of these Afro culture vultures claim. The DNA, so far, is solid! The Aboriginals of Australia r not from Africa either, they identity as Afro, and they have the right to identify with whoever they want, but their ancient DNA, places them in Asia/Polynesia. Afro culture vultures need to read a science book on non Afro genetic groups, and realize that what drives the color of skin, is where ur ppl lived for centuries. USA is ridiculously obsessed with skin color. Dark brown skin isn't exclusive to Afros. So scientificly ignorant!
Those were a great find , there are actually several places in North America with very old foot prints , the most interesting ones to me are the ones from Texas that pre-date the Ice Age . I love it when people find history in the rock.
@@seeharvester In the 1960s we had been in a few decades long colder spell and the "experts" were saying a new Ice age was coming. Mother nature has the final say not we parasites.
Wonderful video. First off, we knew about the trackway in the 1950's. The US gov't dynamited a section of the trackway out during runway construction, and there are salvaged specimens in private collections. I've studied one. Second, the people who made those tracks were not related to modern American Indians. They have no modern descendants. Their feet are very unique, and will be used to identify them, when we find their remains in the future. The Clovis people were not related to modern American Indians either.
Even Native Americans WERE NOT NATIVE!! So why do we give them special rights and call them as such? They came by small craft or walked and Europeans came by boats. Just because they were here before us doesn't make them native!
@@larryw5429 after 100 generations or more maybe just call the people "locals" if the word native deserves all caps and 2 explanation marks, what special rights are you suggesting these local natives have? certainly no more special rights than the eurocentric pioneer pilgrim settler & johnny come lately exploiters that occupied then desecrated their rightful homelands in a single generatiion.
The people who made these footprints didn't land in Whitesands New Mexico. They had to migrate their from somewhere else. Archeology never paints a complete and accurate picture of our history. We need to remember this before we make claims about how long people have been, or what life was like.
Hi Bryan, would you be willing to talk with me about a human fossil footprint and a stone tool that I found in western New York? Mathew Bennett thinks it might be a footprint like I do.
Wonderful to see the footprints show they were the same as we are today. ie; no evidence of evolution whatsoever and aside from the obvious timetable errors supports the biblical narrative.
In the Wichita Mountain's; Lawton,Okla.Footprint's were found by elder's in the 60's,along what is now known as Cashe Creek,the south side of the mountain range was a ocean,that was once covered all of Texas.
I have always been interested in what conventional academia archeology calls "forbidden archeology". Humanoid beings go further back in time than most would be able to comprehend.
It sure sucks if you're a "Young Earth Creationist," right? I can hear the arguments now, oh God just made the footprints appear older then they really are. Dating methods sure are "forbidden archeology," as you say. Meanwhile, science moves on.
@@kennyw871 Meanwhile in a galaxy far far away the truth of Humans and Earth's true history has been and is recorded and someday when we ascend beyond this existence we may retrieve it.
Also consider the petrified foot prints of men and three toes Dinos in a river bed in the Paluxy river in Texas. Still being denied by Mainstream Science as it doesn't fit their narratives. Would mess up all their text books already out there.
The video does not mention dinosaur footprints. It mentions the footprints of mammalian megafauna that existed at the same time the human footprints were laid down. Animals that were mentioned: Mammoths, Giant ground sloth, Saber tooth cats, Dire wolves. Dinosaurs (mostly) went extinct 66 million years ago. The ancestors of modern birds survived that extinction and belong to the theropod group of dinosaurs (like T. rex).

The Clovis people. I found a flint knife in Pa. that I could never find a comparison with. Eventually, I saw a Clovis knife that was exactly the same. The bad news is that I traded it off back when I was a kid.
@@freemind.. I look at it as one of the stupidest things I did in this life. It was about 4-inches (plus) long and I always thought it was a spear point because it was about the size of iron spearpoints I'd seen. I was living on a farm in Pa. and swinging on a wooden plank swing between the barn and the house and my eyes just 'focused' on it laying there in the yard. I'd looked for arrowheads (there were lots of them to be found in this area) but never found any myself. Everybody else but me seemed to find them. Anyway, there it was! And I just picked it up. I ended up trading it for a "glow in the dark" military thing that another kid had. That turned out to be radioactive and had been stolen from a warehouse at Fort Indiantown Gap, so there was some state police involvement that came about, too. Anyway, when it was all said and done, I was out the 'radioactive reflector thing' and my Clovis knife (or, spear point) whatever it was. The reason I didn't think it was 'special' at the time, was because it just didn't look like the other arrowheads and stuff the other farm kids were finding in their freshly plowed (and then rained on) fields. It wasn't until about 40 years later that I stumbled onto a picture that looked just like my 'spear point' and it was from the Clovis People. My luck, I guess. But, here's yet another 'oddity.' I bought some meteorites at a farm sale about a year ago and -- as they were being auctioned -- it was announced that they came from "this farm down yonder..." And they were pointing at my farm! So, somewhere, I have a bed of meteorites -- if I ever find them! There are a couple of other 'mysteries' here, too. I'll be posting them on my channel as I get them filmed.
@@yepiratesworkshop7997 - Wow!! Seriously great story, and super-interesting! I had no idea who the Clovis People were until about 6 years ago, and I'm convinced they were not only the first inhabitants of North America, but that they were Pre-Flood people who were erupted out by the biblical deluge of Noah's time. If you're not a believer, it is STILL an incredible archaeological find, and if you DO believe in the Flood, it only adds to the significance! Either way, their arrowheads and spearheads were considerably more advanced than those of modern native Indians.
@@yepiratesworkshop7997 - The meteorite thing is another amazing development! I wonder if you could survey your property from above with Google Earth and look for circular anomalies to pinpoint the impact site?
@@freemind.. Yes, to a degree the Google Earth photos work pretty good. But, remember, this is a farm, so much of it has been tilled, flattened and smoothed down to a depth of about a foot. The best times (and ways) I've found for trying to "read" the land, has been by airplane, a few weeks afte the frost kills down the tree leaves and grass. There are a number of sudden drops (like an ancient waterfall) and karsts in this area and limestone caves are scattered here and there. I've also been able to track down a couple of the finders of the meteorites and got pretty good (and consistent) locations of where these folks found them. It is an area about the size of two football fields and is currently in grass (for hay) as it's been for about 20 years. I'm debating whether to sacrifice a few bales of hay and plow up that area. But, there are two other areas of the farm that hold great mystery to me. One is an ancient ditch that was dug -- about 7 feet deep by 10 feet wide and probably 300 to 400 yards long that was already in existence on the farm in the 1930s when a man I talked to lived there. He said it was an "old work" even back then and was a mystery as to why someone would have gone to all that effort. I've found that the ditch stopped when the diggers hit a spring and tried to dam up the water intrusion without much success. The other area is adjacent and comprises about 25 acres of "bottom land" that used to be an ancient river bed. I've found some rather interesting stuff there, but never made too much effort to dig it. During a major flood in 1972, most of the topsoil had been scoured off by the flood waters and I'm told that a lot of Native American artifacts were found there. So, I've sort of got my own "Oak Island" treasure ditch, a meteorite area and a huge alluvial deposit of God only knows what. In addition, this place was one of the original pioneer farms, so there is probably a lot of metal detecting that could be done, too. Those were some of the things I wanted to make videos about as I found the time to do them.
So - this is really cool. However, I have to ask (again): why do North American archaeologists always ignore all the good data we've known about that variously pre-dates Clovis all over South America? Monte Verde, just for starters, but elsewhere too? Why are we so parochial? The narration mentions Clovis as oldest in North America, but then a few lines later say oldest in "the Americas." Clovis-first has never been a thing among those working internationally on South American (or even Mesoamerican) sites, and I would argue has not been the consensus view among even North American archaeologists for a couple decades now. Not to diminish in any way the coolness of this research and these track ways, which are amazing!
The footprints do not look like someone was walking. No two prints are close enough to indicate a bipod made them. They look like one foot made random prints.
Absolutely correct . A size 8 US is about 40 in European size and 275 in Korean size. How did these ancient people know that? Ancient Aliens is the only answer.
göbeklitepe has told us the history books are wrong, cites like this reinforces just how wrong so it confuses me why there’s so much pushback on what is clear as day.
Wait a minute, I think those footprints were made back in the 50's when my dad and I went on a hike in a small stream on vacation in New Mexico somewhere. We took off our sneakers and walked for what seemed like miles. Some time later dad said that same creek flooded and was covered over by debris. "20,000 years old"...my foot.
05/05/2122 NOT SURPRISED BY THESE FINDS! I understand that the forebears of Australian Indigenous people came to this country 100,000+ years ago. However, some of these peoples actually went north (instead of sth after Asia)and crossed the land bridge to the Americas . Some of their decendents are still in the far south of Sth America.
Yes. In my opinion. But it wasn't hostile. Clovis people had been decimated by a catastrophe. The Windover people, Kennewick man, and Horn Shelter man, were not American Indians, though they may have contributed genetic material.
Important thing is that it wasn’t Express migration to South America. Not 1000, but 7-8000 years. This means people had started 30000 years ago from Asia, Hokkaido Japan and or Jakutsk Siberia. As for the former, peopling in Hokkaido was since 35-30000 years ago. The oldest evidences in main land are since 38000 years ago. They,d crossed Izu sea 20km for collecting obsidians. Now we know that First Americans weren’t mammoth hunters, but entered on Kelp Highway. So, Proto- Japanese Hokkaido should be paid more attention now.
Pigmy Mammoths existed on the Channel Islands off of So-Cal which is along the kelp Hwy I wouldnt doubt that a small mammoth would be welcome change up from the dominant sea food diet along the coast
The Bible tells us about what happened and why there are so many animals found petrified...Those footprints are from 4,600 years ago probably a very short time before the world wide flood. At that time, the North American landscape was connected to Europe and Africa, and after the crust was broken open to let the water flood the earth, there was fast, vast movement of the plates which the land masses sit on ,and they split apart and moved to where they are located today. There are no processes going on today that can explain the mountains being so tall, or so many animals being buried under hundreds of feet of sediment.
they certainly did not have athletes foot because the alkaline gypsum setting will eat the meat off your feet. in these shallow playa settings it often turns out they going after waterfowl. they have even found thousands of years old WOODEN DUCK DECOYS.

I'd like to know where dinosaur and human prints are together. I think you're thinking of megafauna. Humans did not exist with dinosaurs.
A very cherished part of a poem from my elementary school days, so long ago but for a fraction of a second in comparison:
"A Psalm of Life. BY HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW:
Lives of great men all remind us. We can make our lives sublime. And, departing, leave behind us. Footprints on the sands of time" ...
I think it’s cool you can see how the toes were more spread out than modern Humans.
With modern Shoes our feet have evolved to grow narrower or we end up with foot problems due to shoes we wear.
The sarcasm in your remark doesn't come through very well tho. 😏
Some might think you were serious about shoes and "evolution" of feet.
@@cindyknudson2715 who said "evolution"? Feet get much bmore broad if you don't wear shoes, try it for a couple years and you'll see how big and strong they get
@@nmarbletoe8210 You. "...feet have evolved..."
Not a big deal, I just had thought you were kidding in using that word.
Thank you for your cordial response.
@@cindyknudson2715 thanks lol.. i apologize, I can't see that comment of mine anymore, but I sure might have said that! Correction, the feet adapt.
The wide toes are especially noticeable in the prints.
I've had friends who never wore shoes and their feet were really different looking, due to thick skin and padding. I went for a month without shoes once, I could feel the padding get thicker and thicker under the skin.
All of this is really interesting. Thanks for posting.
Fascinating.
“Footnote!” I see what you did there😂😂 great video👍
Great video I being a part of the first nation it brought tears to my eyes of joy.peace to you all .ancestors two different nations that's me.
The first people here, are not related to the native Americans who came later
@@danimotherofchickens479 - True. The first people here were the first people anywhere.
@@danimotherofchickens479 Native Americans are the only proof of existence to this land first. There’s proof of that!!! The white colonists didn’t kill all of us!! We’re still here. These footprints are most likely indigenous! Until they find a skull to date back to prove otherwise. Native Americans are the true inhabitants to this land!
Being so so close - Pendejo Cave deserves to be revisited, as far as data is concerned.
I can't figure out why the tracks are still there. Looking at the video it looks like the sand is very loose, but maybe it has hardened. I guess it is over my head how they determine it's age.
It's not over your head.. the 'accepted' explanation just doesn't make sense and is wholly inadequate.
This is so amazing
I would not be surprised to find that even these artifacts do not extend back as far in time as humans have inhabited the America's -- I would bet it goes back to more than 25,000 years before present.
There is no evidence that the descendants of the humans that made those prints survived to present day. There is no evidence yet of continuous habitation of the Americas from then to later times. For all we know they died off with the mega fauna of the day. It is possible that the people living here when the Europeans discovered the Americas were descendants of later population events. It is entirely possible that the Americas where peopled multiple times, and then those earlier population suffered extinction in the western hemisphere. Continuity needs to be proven.
The Natives of the Americas have been here for much longer than u know, and DNA has been studied very well. We r NOT from Africa as so many of these Afro culture vultures claim. The DNA, so far, is solid! The Aboriginals of Australia r not from Africa either, they identity as Afro, and they have the right to identify with whoever they want, but their ancient DNA, places them in Asia/Polynesia. Afro culture vultures need to read a science book on non Afro genetic groups, and realize that what drives the color of skin, is where ur ppl lived for centuries. USA is ridiculously obsessed with skin color. Dark brown skin isn't exclusive to Afros. So scientificly ignorant!
Trying to write out notes on the history of america has brought me here, and this is just coming out now. I love living in the present
So dang awesome!
Excellent video! Enjoyed the commentary and content! I hope science and history can reconcile and amend the timeline. 🙂
My church did a doc in the area where these foot prints are about 20 yrs ago. Helping to document the earth age before this one. Fascinating find.
Follow the tracks. They will lead you to more answers.
I love White Sands. It's so beautiful. A lot of artists and celebrities go their to do photo shoots.
The footprints are amazing,hope their well protected.
Those were a great find , there are actually several places in North America with very old foot prints , the most interesting ones to me are the ones from Texas that pre-date the Ice Age . I love it when people find history in the rock.
The Ice Age has been ongoing for two million years in fact we're still in it just currently in an inter-glacial.

WOW
Wonderful video. First off, we knew about the trackway in the 1950's. The US gov't dynamited a section of the trackway out during runway construction, and there are salvaged specimens in private collections. I've studied one. Second, the people who made those tracks were not related to modern American Indians. They have no modern descendants. Their feet are very unique, and will be used to identify them, when we find their remains in the future. The Clovis people were not related to modern American Indians either.
Even Native Americans WERE NOT NATIVE!! So why do we give them special rights and call them as such? They came by small craft or walked and Europeans came by boats. Just because they were here before us doesn't make them native!
@@larryw5429 after 100 generations or more maybe just call the people "locals" if the word native deserves all caps and 2 explanation marks, what special rights are you suggesting these local natives have? certainly no more special rights than the eurocentric pioneer pilgrim settler & johnny come lately exploiters that occupied then desecrated their rightful homelands in a single generatiion.

So according to your thinking, you’re not really European since no one is native to Europe. So why call yourself that?
So cool!!!
The people who made these footprints didn't land in Whitesands New Mexico. They had to migrate their from somewhere else. Archeology never paints a complete and accurate picture of our history. We need to remember this before we make claims about how long people have been, or what life was like.
I must have missed the part where the archaeologist said that these people landed at the New Mexico spaceport. Time stamp>?
There a bunch in Glen Rose TX….. Human and dinosaurs tracks…. Side by side… and a few on top of each other….
Hi Bryan, would you be willing to talk with me about a human fossil footprint and a stone tool that I found in western New York? Mathew Bennett thinks it might be a footprint like I do.
Talk to the natural history museum or contact the Archeological dept in a University near you as they would be interested to have a look.
Why do those footprints just stop?
So your saying dinasour May have been demestocated to pull big square stones carved by machinery to make a pyramid?
Wonderful to see the footprints show they were the same as we are today. ie; no evidence of evolution whatsoever and aside from the obvious timetable errors supports the biblical narrative.
Which dating techniques have been used?
One that presupposes a 13.8 billion yo universe in which is consistent with the rest of their unobservable theories.
What is the minimum number of years it could take to have footprints become stone?
How do we know for certain if these tracks weren’t made by another human species?
They were.
did they keep uncovering and follow the tracks to see were they go?
In the Wichita Mountain's; Lawton,Okla.Footprint's were found by elder's in the 60's,along what is now known as Cashe Creek,the south side of the mountain range was a ocean,that was once covered all of Texas.
7:59 "...footnote of history" best unintentional pun ever...
I have always been interested in what conventional academia archeology calls "forbidden archeology". Humanoid beings go further back in time than most would be able to comprehend.
It sure sucks if you're a "Young Earth Creationist," right? I can hear the arguments now, oh God just made the footprints appear older then they really are. Dating methods sure are "forbidden archeology," as you say. Meanwhile, science moves on.
You still need evidence before you can say for certain..

I love the human footprints embedded in dinosaur footprints. That must make some scientists choke.
Also consider the petrified foot prints of men and three toes Dinos in a river bed in the Paluxy river in Texas. Still being denied by Mainstream Science as it doesn't fit their narratives. Would mess up all their text books already out there.
The video does not mention dinosaur footprints. It mentions the footprints of mammalian megafauna that existed at the same time the human footprints were laid down. Animals that were mentioned: Mammoths, Giant ground sloth, Saber tooth cats, Dire wolves. Dinosaurs (mostly) went extinct 66 million years ago. The ancestors of modern birds survived that extinction and belong to the theropod group of dinosaurs (like T. rex).
I like how different they are. Some have no arch, others bulge at the arch. So cool.
This is so cool
What was the process used to establish the date of the foot prints?
Guess...
stratigraphy, from the indirect info provided in the vid
Verify what the oldest accepted claims are, then claim that these are older in order to secure yourself a spot in the hierarchy.
some of those prints were huge. I wonder What was the biggest one ?
It always strikes me that the whatever the Ice conditions/sea levels the Aleutian island are practically stepping stones to the America's. Robin Witting

What type of stone contains the footprints? Sandstone? (White sands = sandstone?)
@1:40 he is showing the sedimentary layers laid down Post Flood. . These are drainage layers. Based on that " Real Science", these tracks are approximately 3K-4K years old....Maximum.
Are they all walking in the same direction?
3:49 looks like a Moccasin print. Do you see the extra outline, around the toes?
The Clovis people. I found a flint knife in Pa. that I could never find a comparison with. Eventually, I saw a Clovis knife that was exactly the same. The bad news is that I traded it off back when I was a kid.
Dang! What a treasure that would be if you still had it! But who knew..?
@@freemind.. I look at it as one of the stupidest things I did in this life. It was about 4-inches (plus) long and I always thought it was a spear point because it was about the size of iron spearpoints I'd seen. I was living on a farm in Pa. and swinging on a wooden plank swing between the barn and the house and my eyes just 'focused' on it laying there in the yard. I'd looked for arrowheads (there were lots of them to be found in this area) but never found any myself. Everybody else but me seemed to find them. Anyway, there it was! And I just picked it up. I ended up trading it for a "glow in the dark" military thing that another kid had. That turned out to be radioactive and had been stolen from a warehouse at Fort Indiantown Gap, so there was some state police involvement that came about, too. Anyway, when it was all said and done, I was out the 'radioactive reflector thing' and my Clovis knife (or, spear point) whatever it was. The reason I didn't think it was 'special' at the time, was because it just didn't look like the other arrowheads and stuff the other farm kids were finding in their freshly plowed (and then rained on) fields. It wasn't until about 40 years later that I stumbled onto a picture that looked just like my 'spear point' and it was from the Clovis People. My luck, I guess. But, here's yet another 'oddity.' I bought some meteorites at a farm sale about a year ago and -- as they were being auctioned -- it was announced that they came from "this farm down yonder..." And they were pointing at my farm! So, somewhere, I have a bed of meteorites -- if I ever find them! There are a couple of other 'mysteries' here, too. I'll be posting them on my channel as I get them filmed.
@@yepiratesworkshop7997 - Wow!! Seriously great story, and super-interesting! I had no idea who the Clovis People were until about 6 years ago, and I'm convinced they were not only the first inhabitants of North America, but that they were Pre-Flood people who were erupted out by the biblical deluge of Noah's time. If you're not a believer, it is STILL an incredible archaeological find, and if you DO believe in the Flood, it only adds to the significance! Either way, their arrowheads and spearheads were considerably more advanced than those of modern native Indians.
@@yepiratesworkshop7997 - The meteorite thing is another amazing development! I wonder if you could survey your property from above with Google Earth and look for circular anomalies to pinpoint the impact site?
@@freemind.. Yes, to a degree the Google Earth photos work pretty good. But, remember, this is a farm, so much of it has been tilled, flattened and smoothed down to a depth of about a foot. The best times (and ways) I've found for trying to "read" the land, has been by airplane, a few weeks afte the frost kills down the tree leaves and grass. There are a number of sudden drops (like an ancient waterfall) and karsts in this area and limestone caves are scattered here and there. I've also been able to track down a couple of the finders of the meteorites and got pretty good (and consistent) locations of where these folks found them. It is an area about the size of two football fields and is currently in grass (for hay) as it's been for about 20 years. I'm debating whether to sacrifice a few bales of hay and plow up that area. But, there are two other areas of the farm that hold great mystery to me. One is an ancient ditch that was dug -- about 7 feet deep by 10 feet wide and probably 300 to 400 yards long that was already in existence on the farm in the 1930s when a man I talked to lived there. He said it was an "old work" even back then and was a mystery as to why someone would have gone to all that effort. I've found that the ditch stopped when the diggers hit a spring and tried to dam up the water intrusion without much success. The other area is adjacent and comprises about 25 acres of "bottom land" that used to be an ancient river bed. I've found some rather interesting stuff there, but never made too much effort to dig it. During a major flood in 1972, most of the topsoil had been scoured off by the flood waters and I'm told that a lot of Native American artifacts were found there. So, I've sort of got my own "Oak Island" treasure ditch, a meteorite area and a huge alluvial deposit of God only knows what. In addition, this place was one of the original pioneer farms, so there is probably a lot of metal detecting that could be done, too. Those were some of the things I wanted to make videos about as I found the time to do them.
So - this is really cool. However, I have to ask (again): why do North American archaeologists always ignore all the good data we've known about that variously pre-dates Clovis all over South America? Monte Verde, just for starters, but elsewhere too? Why are we so parochial? The narration mentions Clovis as oldest in North America, but then a few lines later say oldest in "the Americas." Clovis-first has never been a thing among those working internationally on South American (or even Mesoamerican) sites, and I would argue has not been the consensus view among even North American archaeologists for a couple decades now. Not to diminish in any way the coolness of this research and these track ways, which are amazing!
Good point,but there are a few. Proof local for me...Horn Shelter north of Waco,TX,plus the well known sites near Florence,TX.
In other words, why do archaeologists ignore archaeologists? They don't. They are them.
When were the foot prints discovered?
Looks like the demo were in power everyone's barefoot
The footprints do not look like someone was walking. No two prints are close enough to indicate a bipod made them. They look like one foot made random prints.
what was the environment like at that time period?? thanks..
There was a lot of at Paluxy river.
Absolutely correct . A size 8 US is about 40 in European size and 275 in Korean size. How did these ancient people know that? Ancient Aliens is the only answer.
Looking at that first image, does this mean that the ancients had two left feet?
interesting how long the toes are and they dont look like my feet at all.
göbeklitepe has told us the history books are wrong, cites like this reinforces just how wrong so it confuses me why there’s so much pushback on what is clear as day.
Very interesting. The old guy with the earings should go hang out with the Disney crowd.
in texas there is hujman tracks and diasour tracks, but it has always been dismissed as fact
Wait a minute, I think those footprints were made back in the 50's when my dad and I went on a hike in a small stream on vacation in New Mexico somewhere. We took off our sneakers and walked for what seemed like miles. Some time later dad said that same creek flooded and was covered over by debris. "20,000 years old"...my foot.
The footprints showed that the man walked with a limp and the boy was known to stretch the truth.

05/05/2122 NOT SURPRISED BY THESE FINDS! I understand that the forebears of Australian Indigenous people came to this country 100,000+ years ago. However, some of these peoples actually went north (instead of sth after Asia)and crossed the land bridge to the Americas . Some of their decendents are still in the far south of Sth America.
So, how do you determine the age?
So did the " American indian" take America from another culture? Or are they descendents of these other groups?
Yes. In my opinion. But it wasn't hostile. Clovis people had been decimated by a catastrophe. The Windover people, Kennewick man, and Horn Shelter man, were not American Indians, though they may have contributed genetic material.
Many bands have their own traditions but they all have an ancient story that they are survivors of a cataclysm.

Saying American Indian would add way more confusion in this day and age

*Let the Sunshine In.*
Important thing is that it wasn’t Express migration to South America. Not 1000, but 7-8000 years. This means people had started 30000 years ago from Asia, Hokkaido Japan and or Jakutsk Siberia. As for the former, peopling in Hokkaido was since 35-30000 years ago. The oldest evidences in main land are since 38000 years ago. They,d crossed Izu sea 20km for collecting obsidians. Now we know that First Americans weren’t mammoth hunters, but entered on Kelp Highway. So, Proto- Japanese Hokkaido should be paid more attention now.
Pigmy Mammoths existed on the Channel Islands off of So-Cal which is along the kelp Hwy I wouldnt doubt that a small mammoth would be welcome change up from the dominant sea food diet along the coast
Precisely how do they date sedimentary layers to some accuracy?
Just keep ignoring the human footprints in Texas.
So cool! Inspiring video.
erosion means top soil wears away so how old could it be
Absolutely incredible. Well done and hope humans don’t destroy this earth

The possibilities...
What about South American marsupials? South America rodents found in Africa.
There is something missing from the total picture
Columbus was a bit late, it seems
The Bible tells us about what happened and why there are so many animals found petrified...Those footprints are from 4,600 years ago probably a very short time before the world wide flood. At that time, the North American landscape was connected to Europe and Africa, and after the crust was broken open to let the water flood the earth, there was fast, vast movement of the plates which the land masses sit on ,and they split apart and moved to where they are located today. There are no processes going on today that can explain the mountains being so tall, or so many animals being buried under hundreds of feet of sediment.
