Just curious,this giant footprint,if thats what it is,what kind of substance or stone is it imprinted into? was it made by stepping into cooling down but still very hot volcanic magma? thats what it looks like to me.That would really hurt and even giants would avoid stepping into molten rock,unless they were surrounded by lava while trying to escape the pyroclastic flows from a nearby erupting volcano, perhaps one of the ways they were eliminated from the earth?...edit on 10-1-2012 by blocula because: (no reason given)

well, I dont know about this footprint but theres been others, like the one found in the 80s in Turkmenistan:
. . .if we speak about this human footprint, it was made by a human or a human like animal. Incredibly, this footprint is on the same plateau where there are dinosaur tracks. We can say the age of the footprint is not 5 or 10, but at least 150 million years old. It is 26 cm long, that is Russian size 43 (9.5 American) and we consider that whoever left the footprint was taller than we are.

Sorry, I thought it would be obvious that I was joking. I guess you never know on this website though....

There has never been the slightest inkling of evidence for the supernatural, let alone a bunch of demons who have turned the core of the Earth into their very own Waldorf-Astoria?

Almost every living thing,including plants and trees were much larger millions of years ago,so why not humans as well?

"What's fascinating about this is, anybody that does a study of this will notice this piece sticking out, here. It's like when you put your foot it mud, and you pull it out. Your toes will lift up a little mud where your toes were. And that's exactly what seems to have happened here: this rough granite is just - psshh - pulled up, this overhang here. It's spectacular."
Granite is made from magma when it cools, not mud. Unless the "giant" was walking on molten rock as it was cooling (>1000 degrees C), barefoot, this isn't a real footprint.

Well the picture tells me it was formed some other way than you think it was. At least in this geographic area. Bible thumper?? Grabbing a few desperation straws are we to try and bolster your position. Not working. Great post and great picture of a giant footprint......in granite!
"But one day (without anyone expecting it) we saw a giant who was on the shore [near today’s Puerto San Julián, Argentina], quite naked, and who danced, leaped, and sang, and while he sang he threw sand and dust on his head. Our captain [Magellan] sent one of his men toward him, charging him to leap and sing like the other in order to reassure him and to show him friendship. Which he did. Immediately the man of the ship, dancing, led this giant to a small island where the captain awaited him. And when he was before us, he began to marvel and to be afraid, and he raised one finger upward, believing that we came from heaven. And he was so tall that the tallest of us only came up to his waist. Withal he was well proportioned. . . . The captain named the people of this sort Pathagoni.*
The etymology of the word is unclear, but Patagonia came to mean “Land of the Bigfeet.”
Therefore IF bones have been destroyed early in the last Century, that would have provided proof of the existence of gigantism within the human race, then it's hardly fair for Science to be now shouting - "Show us the Proof"!
