Footprints in Ash set duration of man in America at 40,000+

For people who follow the highly-politicized debate over the length of time homo sapiens has spent in the Americas, this new evidence seemingly comes as a death-blow to the traditional ‘20,000 or less years’ crowd:

Footprints in the Ash

[quote]Footprints left in volcanic ash that fell in central Mexico’s Valsequillo Basin about 40,000 years ago are evidence that humans have inhabited the Americas far longer than previously confirmed, a new study suggests.

Analyses of three-dimensional laser scans of the imprints (example at right) confirm their human origin, says Silvia Gonzalez, a geoarchaeologist at Liverpool John Moores University in England.
a new analysis of the coarse-grained, print-ridden volcanic ash — which would have hardened quickly after it fell, says Gonzalez — strongly suggest the material fell around 40,000 years ago, she and her colleagues reported today in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union.

Excavations at several sites have suggested that humans have inhabited the Western Hemisphere for at least 20,000 years, but results suggesting dates of occupation before 14,000 years ago typically haven’t been confirmed and remain controversial.

Nevertheless, says Gonzalez, recent excavations at a site in Baja California have unearthed a rock shelter containing heaps of shells that have been carbon-dated as 44,000 years old, a finding that bolsters the notion that people lived throughout the region about 40 millennia ago.[/quote][/url]

I think there’s a Gary Larson comic that goes with this article.

I read a book called Forbidden Archeology that claims coal miners found a stone wall embedded in coal deposits two miles below the Earth which would have made it alot older than 40,000 yrs.

Other claims of bones and even footprits dating back 100s of thousands of years have been found but is quickly surpressed or debunked by mainstram science due to the fact it contradicts the current theory of evolution.

did they find orcs?

Don’t believe this!!! It’s like the dinosaurs! God is testing you!!!

Do you really believe that the science would be ignored in order to maintain the status quo?

He absolutely does. He’s a conspiracy nutter. He’ll believe ANYTHING at all as long as it casts “them” in a bad light. :laughing:

So 40,000 years ago in America there was a bunch of stupid guys walking around in ashes? Why?

So that Bush would have ancestors.

I hear they still live in Anarctica. It’s why the German Nazi Scientists went there to build a colony.

If you check the records, even Von Braun went there in the 60s to hook into the “Network”.

By the way, it wasn’t a stone wall; it’s made of advanced polymers used as a solar shield when the sun was much more powerful. They couldn’t take the solar radiation, because their sun was further away and weaker.

Which is why they needed the ash.

helluva wiki page he’s got.

[quote]Given the recent disasters in Myanmar and China and the accompanying loss of life on a Biblical scale, Planet X and 2012 are no longer entertainment topics. As we look at the colorful TV graphics proclaiming losses in the hundreds and thousands of lives, we can only wonder when our turn will come. Likewise, we know or suspect that only a select few will possess what Marshall Masters calls the golden Wonka tickets to a global network of underground and undersea government survival arks. So then, what happens to the rest of us?

This is why director Echan Deravy is bringing forth Earth Pilgrims, a 5-part cinematic message to the world. Unlike the pop culture edicts of untested New Age theories, his take on Planet X and 2012 is based on proven, Old Age wisdom. Noble paradigms that helped our ancient forefathers survive similar cataclysms in the past through love and a paradigm of service to others — and this message is arriving just in time.[/quote]

All this because people don’t want to work dead end jobs?

trick for the tourists.

C’mon, BFM, that inverted earth stuff is just crazy talk from wackos. You can’t possibly believe in that crap. Let’s stick to the facts here. Just the facts, Jack.

If it’s in a book, it must be fact. If it’s challenging the scientific status quo, it must be respected. If it’s an out-of-place artifact, it must be proof of time travel! Didn’t you read that Michael Crichton book which was made into that movie with the guy from that street racing flick?

Sheesh.

Cynics.

The lot of you.
