Those estimations always crack me up.. 200 million - 3 billion years old. Or 1000 Years old who knows huh?
Great vid, though! S&F for you!

Could it not simply be that the ancients in fact made an over-sized human statue as they did quite frequently back then and the foot of the statue rested in that place and the mould was created.. does it have to be an actual giant human's foot?
I think logic would tell us that human's don't grow to be that tall... and i think when the bible speaks of giants it is more to do with an allegory or metaphor regarding how great a man is in his abilities.. rather than his actual physical size...
Just my thoughts on the matter..

200 millon years ago earth had only just started growing and it would have been 1/3 its current size so 6 feet time 3 is 18 wich is in the ballpark of that things stature
Look up expanding earth

Samples older than the upper age-limit cannot be dated because the small number of remaining intrinsic 14C atoms will be obscured by 14C background atoms introduced into the samples while they still resided in the environment, during sample preparation, or in the detection instrument. As of 2007, the limiting age for a 1 milligram sample of graphite is about ten half-lives, approximately 60,000 years.[9] This age is derived from that of the calibration blanks used in an analysis, whose 14C content is assumed to be the result of contamination during processing (as a result of this, some facilities[9] will not report an age greater than 60,000 years for any sample). A variety of sample processing and instrument-based constraints have been postulated to explain the upper age-limit. To examine instrument-based background activities in the AMS instrument of the W. M. Keck Carbon Cycle Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Laboratory of the University of California, a set of natural diamonds were dated. Natural diamond samples from different sources within rock formations with standard geological ages in excess of 100 Ma yielded14C apparent ages 64,920 ± 430 BP to 80,000 ± 1100 BP as reported in 2007.[10]

Sorry if someone has already mentioned this but, to me, at 2:38 it looks as though there could be 6 toes.
Anyone else see this?
Another thing, is that Goliath written above the foot when he first walks up?
*oh okay I see Caladonea has mentioned it being called Goliaths footprint.
