Giant Foot Print 200 Million Yrs Old - South Africa
« on: October 24, 2012, 05:14:47 pm »


Michael Tellinger shows off what could be one of the best pieces of evidence that there were giants on Earth a long, long time ago. Geologists have marvelled at this giant foot print in rough granite.

Could this be the giants mentioned in ancient texts?

The granite would have had to be molten or warm crust at the very best, plus this guy is less than reliable. Pardon me for forgetting all the geological specifics used to determine it's improbability.  :)
I'd of liked more than anyone for this to be a preserved footprint, but don't think so.

DRAT....now I suppose I ought to go get that info an post it! [ headsmacking self ]

Have anyone noticed that those strange footprints found in stone always look the same, as if the foot that made the print was used like a rubber stamp (no signs of movement), had a flat sole and appears only once?

It is certainly an unusual find... :o

Looks like a real footprint, but it would be hard to believe that it could be formed in granite and in a vertical position.

Must be the largest feet that I have come across and it would be tough for who ever the owner was to find a shop that sells shoes in his size !  Be a tricky job for any cobbler in his day.  ???   :)

Caver78 -


Did you know it is considered very poor form to slag and run?

Oh wait, that's right, you DO know -

Having a hard time finding the info?

Please educate us all.

the vertical position is no problem as granite rocks move... that is how mountains are formed :D

But caver is right. Granite is not a sedimentary rock that was soft when the print was made and later hardened. Granite is an igneous rock so it would have had to be molten at the time the print was made.  That would be one heck of a hot foot :D

I am more interested in the claim that this guy is unreliable.

What is the history? Is he another Greer?

Here's a rather big boy, laying on his back...

Known as "The Sleeping Giant" !

Interesting pictures.  The sleeping giant reminds me of the "mummy range" here in the Rockies.  I don't have picture unfortunately, but it can be seen from the Eses Park area.

Shasta, Estes Park is one of my favorites, and how!

As for that rock Zorgon, is it possible that is Sandstone? I think the footprint was carved into it. Logic tells me we would find other evidence of these huge creatures, and not just one foot print... LOL!

Indeed this 'giant' would have gotten a 'hotfoot' from molton rock, IF he was alive at the time.

Do we know that for certain?

Perhaps he was already dead as a doornail and in a prone position.


And as for his footprint being stationary being considered a suspicous clue, why is it that fossil remains are not considered suspicous for the exact same reason?















All of the above examples seemed to have gotten the hotfoot as well yet remained stationary now didn't they.


Out of hand dismissal just because you haven't seen something before is rather narrow minded now isn't it.

I have not been to south africa and exmained this for myself so I don't know either way.


Many seem to act as if they HAVE.


Statements that this is scientifically impossible seem to be ignoring our current fossil record and how those creatures get embedded without getting a hotfoot now don't they?


Personally I find this footprint improbable, but was hoping for a reasoned discussion at least from both viewpoints with supporting theories and evidence to back it up.


Not just slag and run.   



Next time I find something unusual not seen before it would be better if I just kept it to myself yes?

With regards to the Giant Foot print,

I am no geologist...but I wonder if its a certain type of rock where the print was formed...it would be interesting to know...

Maybe Granite varies in its conditions back in history.

Although the print may have been made on a Flat floor...and time has upturned the rock into a vertical position...this would seem much more of unlikely situation, than finding a print on a flatter surface.

You would think that there would have been a chance of finding other prints in the area.

IF some how it has been created by someone in the rock... then one wonders when and how had they made it look so realistic...

or Has the weather and time eroded it down ?

There have been footprints of animals and dinosaurs and I think Man found in many places in the world...and preserved like fossils...

Geologists at the University of Leicester have solved a puzzle found in rocks half a billion years old.

Some of the most important fossil beds in the world are the Burgess Shales in the Canadian Rockies. Once an ancient sea bed, they were formed shortly after life suddenly became more complex and diverse ““ the so-called Cambrian explosion ““ and are of immense scientific interest.

Normally, only hard parts of ancient animals became fossilized; the bones, teeth or shells. Soft parts were rarely preserved: many plants and invertebrate animals evolved, lived for millions of years and became extinct, but left no trace in the fossil record. The Burgess Shales preserved soft tissue in exquisite detail, and the question of how this came to happen has troubled scientists since the discovery of the fossils in 1909.
 
Now, painstaking work by Sarah Gabbott and Jan Zalasiewicz of the University of Leicester, with Desmond Collins of the Royal Ontario Museum, has provided an answer. The research has been published in the Journal of the Geological Society.

They analyzed the shales millimeter by millimeter, and found that unlike most rocks of this type, they weren’t slowly deposited, mud flake by mud flake. Instead, a thick slurry powered down a steep slope and instantly buried the animals to a depth where normal decay couldn’t occur.
 
Dr Gabbott said, “Not a nice way to go, perhaps, but a swift one- and one that guaranteed immortality (of a sort) for these strange creatures.”

What chowderheads at that university right? They couldn't possibly be correct, COULD they?

That would of course leave the door open for dead bipeds lying on the ground to leave trace marks, and we all know for certain that could never happen right?

By the way the "Material" that makes up this terrain (Body) is totally different than the surrounding hills.

It's NOT far from where I live !

So perhaps I should get a sample of this Giant, and have it tested, esp. for Hydrocarbons or DNA etc. ?
