If anyone is truly interested in the history of peoples responses and beliefs in regards to alleged Giant Footprints throughout time, this is a great resource web.stanford.edu/dept/HPS/MayorFolklorefoot.pdf
I’m really sorry but I find your writing style confusing with it’s lack of grammar and often unusual sentence structure (this is just an observation and not a critisism of you) I really appreciate the time you took to write and respond unfortunately we don’t share any essential middle ground for conversation. You view the bible as factual and I do not. I prefer science and evidence and you prefer stories and legends without evidence. I am very interested in myths and legends and indigenous stories and many of them contain tiny grains of truth ,but a tiny grain of truth is not enough for me ! I want facts. There isn’t an International consensus that Giants exist ! There are myths and stories about Giants in almost every cultute and country but that is not proof they existed. Without science the world; indeed the universe was a very strange place. People feel uncomfortable and insecure without understanding and knowing things. Gaps in knowledge combined with human beings desire to make sense of the world and our amazing imaginations ,produced stories to fill in those gaps .Stories that are shared and believed in create security and help create community and culture. Even with Science much of the world and the universe it is mysterious and much remains unknown ,which is why it is so important to stick to facts . We can still preserve, protect and appreciate the myths and legends and stories told by our ancestors but we need to remember them, in the context that may stories were retold over and over across vast distances of both time and geography with each person changing the story in the re-telling . We must remind ourselves that the people that created these stories did not have the technology or the science to understand their world the way we can now. For example many cultures believed thunder and lightening were caused by Gods and Demons fighting in the Heavans but we all know that isn’t true ! :)
I am sorry but this is one of the worst historical references out there (2nd to King Arthur by Geoffrey of Monmouth). The problem lies with dates. The earliest of the Hebrew texts used were not written down until the 2nd covenant around the 7th century BCE. Even though it is said King David ordered the texts to be written down, no evidence of that happening has been found. And, the early texts we do have place the earliest by linguistic style and verbage used. Then, the earliest “bible” was not until 325 CE at the Council of Nicaea at the request of Constantine. That bible is lost or none existance and some many years later, another council was held, long after Constantine’s death (and more importantly, the deaths of those present. At the 2nd council, one Coptic Bishop “said” he remembered all the texts used because he was a boy in the service of a bishop who had a copy (50 copies were said to have been ordered made, but no evidence that more than one was even put together). The texts used do not date before Josephus’ diary about the crucifixion of Jews (not jesus) by Romans in 69-70 CE, which, interestingly enough contains a record of 3 jews being crucified which were aquaintences of his and he evidently vouched for them and they were cut down, but only one lived, and I will bet his name was Yeshua bar Abbas. There is no other record earlier than this of anyone with a name similar to Yeshua being crucifird. There was a pretender to the messiah myth of the jews and he was Simon of Peraea (might be interesting to know where that name came from since he was describe by recorded records as the son of a capenter.
Now, when it comes to formalizing the bible, that didn’t happen til the 6-7th century by church officials and translations in the 10-11th centuries from latin and greek into other languages like old English. Which is the basis for the KJV. The RC and GO versions were kept as they determined before that but after the fall of the Roman Empire.
So, believe what you want, but facts are, the 10 commandments are a vastly abridged version of the spell/prayer 125 of the Egyptianj Book of the Dead, all of genesis appears to be a reworking (plagiarism) of the Sumerian Epic Poems of 2000-3000 BCE (both long before the hebrews stopped worshipping the golden cow amoung other dieties and decided they needed only one as Akhenaten suggested). This is known and provable facts with actual dates and places which the bible cannot produce without barrowing from other stories and the only thing they can claim is that one king, and one governor existed, but cannot produce the pharaoh or real evidence for a exodus and the hebrews cannot have built the pyramids because they were still unorganized nomadic tribes with different gods when the pyramids were built. Which they have a very accurate date for regardless of what Ancient Aliens and Georgio says. Learn real history that I learned and was taught, or provide sources to substanciate your claims outside the bible which is in a recognised historical or archaeological journal or book.
For me The Bible will always be my reference point on the other hand I'm sorry and knowing me I might wind up confusing you more it's funny when I write on different Subjects and Topics makes sense to me, I'll try and see if I can clear the confusion not intentional by the way.
No I was referring too our Ancient Ancestors and what they've said about The Race of Giant's and or Titan's that once Walked the Earth that essentially I believe Them simply because they were there an I was not this is how I feel I recognize that everybodies not going to agree with me.
As for my approach with referencing The Bible, I know The Bible just not as well I thought with recognizing the incredible testimony of Enoch. I know Science approaches The Science World minus The Bible, it's not me.
So back too Giant Foot Prints possibly dating back too Billions of years where as before I would never pay.much attention to the Billion year existence of Earth; had it not been for my discovery, of Enoch I'd never accept this finding.
I mean I thought Giant's were only in The Bible and that they existed in Canaan only it never occurred to me on a International consensus Giant's existed everywhere. I've been Watching Stories on Indigenous People's here in America on ytube relate their Ancestors stories about these Giant's in Question.
After, taking Native American Literature for children in a Library Class the class had to do research on Por qui stories.
We had to research a lot websites for these Porqui stories online upon my Instructors instructions.
From one of these websites that visited an yes those website are still available online (search for them through Google, if interested), I read a letter on one of the websites by someone who shared people who are not of The Indigenous People's teach these Porqui Stories as Myth's when in fact, The Indigenous People believe in these Porqui Oral Stories the way Christians believe in Creation.
So if anyone is interested there's a Porqui Oral Story by The Sioux on ytube one can watch the story unfold, too this telling of A Evil Giant that was Hungry and Never satisfied, I'll look the story up and share it with you soon 4Cassandra.
The Indigenous People who lived here in the America's long before Columbus would know what was happening in their own backyards so they say A Race of Giant's once lived long ago then those Giant's inevitably left behind Footprints.
This is how I see it again I stress I know not everyone would agree with this assessment. Until next time 4Cassandra, Goodbye!
Hi Zucchini, I really wanted to reply to your post because you seem so earnest and sincerely seemed to want to say something ,but your post is a little confusing . However it seems you are relying on the bible and other ancient texts and so I hope you can understand that these are not reliable sources of information ; not because the people who wrote them were dishonest or lying but because Science and other technologies needed to interpret their findings was not advanced enough nor was education available to everyone and there was no shared data base of knowledge as there is now…...so people in the past had to guess and they often made mistakes.They relied on rumours and stories (and stories change on every telling)….Often mammoth bones were believed to be those of Giants ! Dinosaur foot prints appeared to be proof of dragons . The prints of left by prehistoric Giant bears and Sloths were misinterpreted as belonging to Giant people ! But none of these things were true even though people at the time believed them ! In 2021 we must view these old writings as of historic interest ,but not as accurate evidence. There are many mysteries and many will remain unsolved ,but we know the biblical idea of the earths age is not accurate because radiometric dating was not around then. The Earth is around 5.54 billion years old give or take 50 million years. Don’t forget the earth was in a molten state before it cooled down so the oldest rocks we have ever found are 4.03 billion years old (In Canada). It may interest you to know that the first person who attributed the date of the earth according to the bible was a man - Archibishop James Ussher who was born in 1581 who by reading Genesis made calculations he deduced the earth to be created about 4 ,000 years before Christ . In the 19th century EVERY bible included his calculations although the original bible had no such information in it ! Many modern copies of the bible no longer include Usshers calculations mainly because he was wrong !
I believe these are encryption tools, the ancient Roman equivalent to code books. They were used to hold and measure the diameter of wooden dowels or sticks. The Romans encoded secret messages by wrapping a strip of parchment around a stick and writing the message across the stick, with random letters filling the rest. To read the message, the receiver had to wrap the strip around a stick of the same diameter. The diameter of the stick was the code key. The army needed a standard set of sizes to send secret messages, like a particular set of radio frequencies, but the other side would use different sizes. The sender would choose one of the twelve sizes of stick, wrap a parchment strip around it, and wedge the end in the correct hole, trapping the end of the strip to hold it tight. The knobs would let a parchment wrapped stick sit on a table without rolling while the sender wrote on it whichever way it was turned.
If this is so, they would have been strategic secrets and highly secured, which would explain why they were found in treasure hoards.
Please do research next time and get your facts correct. Catherine, was the mother of Mary, Queen of England, not Mary, the Queen of Scotland. Also Elizabeth I did not kill or have her sister killed. I understand she died from cancerous tumors.
As I said before Ancient History can’t be preserved in a way that reveals all we want to know simply because over time evidence is lost, eroded ,destroyed through natural forces including the passage of time ! People guessing isn’t helpful. Frauds and hoaxes confuse things further. People treating their own non-evidence based opinions as valid facts are also part of the problem. It should always be remembered that human beings are prone to flights of fancy and possess imagination. It is both a gift and a flaw but without it we would not have our rich legacy of myths and legends and fairy tales. Once treking through a forest in the evening with several teenagers on a hiking trip ,a crackling sound convinced them that there was a giant beast following us . In a matter of minutes some people swore they could see it . Soon terror had them imagining “Big Foot” .It turned out to be a stray puppy hoping for a snack ! It was a good lesson ! On another occassion a stray feral cat at dusk appeared to the hiking party as a Giant Cat ! Everyone was convinced it the legendary black panther the locals swore lived in the woods. Even I was momentarily excited .Our photo’s reviewed the next morning revealed an ordinary cat. It’s proximity to a fence post demonstrating it’s small size. Interestingly some people refused this proof ! They still insist they saw “the Panther” ...Very large smelly creatures often turn out to be cats, feral pigs or lost dogs or even other people etc but people see what they want to see !
Sorry Joe ...You ask (quote) “how can thousands and thousands of people be making this up ?“ In the middle ages thousands and thousands of people reported seeing their neighbours flying on broomsticks (and also flying on monkeys and pigs !) and cavorting naked with the devil (often in mid air !!!) and suckling bats like infants etc This resulted in thousands of people being burnt at the stake as a witch. Interestingly none of these witches took the opportunity to escape on their flying brooms or magical monkeys or pigs, nor did they levitate out of reach and the devil didn’t rescue them ;instead they died truly horrific deaths by being burnt alive simply because so many people like yourself thought “How can thousands and thousands of people be making this up ?” But that is exactly what happened.The human brain is a strange thing ; easily influenced , prone to embelishment and capable of distorting reality . I was a witness in a bank robbery. 3 of us were held at gun point by 2 men including me. You would think such an event would be easy to recall ,but the 3 of us gave astoundingly different descriptions of the men involved . All the details from clothing to appearance to ethnicity varied. Each one of us remembered the SAME event differently .In fact one witness insisted there were 3 men . The police were frustrated ,but told us it was often the case (which leads me to wonder about Police line-ups)…...so my point is that just because someone says something it doesn’t make it true and just because you think something, doesn’t make it real and interestingly the more someone repeats a story the truer it appears , but “appears” is the key word here !…….Sadly the more anecdotal the evidence is the less likely it is to be true. Think about it ! Lots of sightings of Bigfoot and Bigfoot foot prints ; thousands in fact, but no fecal matter , no body remains,no bones or teeth , no hair or fur snagged on a tree (any fur found has turned out to be a curious mix of several animals often including dog and monkey), no DNA traces left ,not even in supposed abandoned meals and no shelters or bedding found etc ? Does that make sense to you ? The fact that bigfoot foot prints aren’t found by scientific people who actually want to find them and I’m talking about people with the expert knowledge to do so, people capable of finding very rare animals is a big red flag ! Too many Bigfoot foot prints are neat and tidy without the splayed toes barefoot hominids have…..I have yet to see any convincing evidence for Bigfoot and I would love Bigfoot to be true !
Fruit, veg and cereals are fine for dogs in moderation. There is a chasm between an omnivorous diet and a vegan one. Most dog food cans contain the latter two of these ingredients, as well as meat.
There's also a chasm between the term 'pet parent' and possible alternatives, such as 'pet carer' or 'pet guardian', now that 'owner' is deemed to be too offensive to the permanently offended.
Calling those with a dog or dogs 'parents' won't stop cruelty anyway. One only need to look at what some actual parents do to their kids to see that.
Okay what I'm about to share will most likely CUZCO leave you wondering what does this current Subject have to do with Big Foot? Actually what I'm in the process of sharing goes back to your earlier question when will mainstream Science Finally accept the existence of Big Foot Correct?
I equate the question with an similar experience in my growth As a Christian. I thought I knew almost everything about The Bible as a Believer till I watched a documentary on The History Channel Banned Books of The Bible and they featured Enoch.
I lived for quite sometime as an Christian Suspicious of Enoch due to The Gospel Matthew and Luke when Jesus warned his Disciples which echoes down to me especially through Time See to it that you are not deceived.
For their should rise Counterfeit Messiahs and False Prophet's (later Epistles of Paul and Peter teaches of False Teacher's), if so could Deceive the very elect, so naturally hearing of Enoch I did for sometime believe it was written by you guessed it A False Prophet.
An then I had my Thomas experience that's the Disciple known by his Street name Doubting Thomas (I no longer call Thomas that), Thomas needed to both touch and speak to Christ before saying I Believe.
That is how it was with me an Enoch an now, I just adore these incredible Bible Book's of Enoch an all other Books that were dropped from The Scriptures as well.
Okay so much like as an example of how; I and even today my fellow Brother's and Sister's in Christ, approach The Book of Enoch at a distance.
So too me, I feel that is what Science is doing when touching on the matter of Big Foot although, honesty I'm not certain even in all the Scientific evidence of Big Foot they'd still Deny It.
Think about it that would be forcing Scientist out of their comfort zone; like, I was spiritually pushed out of my symbolic Holy Bible Box of just so.
I don't believe I said I didn't believe did I? In Big Foot and the Scientific evidence?
Anyway that was all I wished too share with you CUZCO so until, next time!
If you read the report you find that it is surprisingly current, since it focuses on the physicality of the creature, including height, breasts, musculature, and body mechanics related to neck, limbs, stride, foot placement, knee bend, and other factors which, when compared with human capabilities, stand in stark contrast to a human actor in a monkey suit. No computer was necessary for the analysis, and in my opinion it still stands as a powerful proof of life for the existence of the creature. That said, it remains shameful that, with the wealth of evidence since accumulated, mainstream science still refuses to turn its powerful research tools on the subject. In that regard I heartily agree.
Let's look at this particular debate surrounding Giant Footprints found seemingly all over the World. The fact that All of The Ancient World; testifies to this Giantic possible not necessarily Giant Phenomenon since Everybody maintained seeing them maybe it's Time to accept that Cyclops, Giant's, & Ogres of course teeny tiny beings that seemed to prefer living alongside of the giants that walked The Earth, somehow they had to have existed.
The footprints might not be considered definite proof but, it's a start. I do know in my favorite Biblical Text Enoch, The Scribe, The Prophet, 7th Generation from Adam that Earth was older but, was referenced too by another name that felt too me how old Earth is estimated to be.
I've come to the conclusion of not declaring how the Ancient World testified to how Earth was and the people that inhabitated Earth described as Giant's, an or Titan's (too me that description is scary to think of) but, since I wasn't there living in that Era, I can't say that It didn't happen the way significant events that took place on Earth is described.
So I believe in The Giant Footprints what hope is never found Titan's and teeny tiny human beings they don't seem to be a friendly bunch.
This is what I think of the Giant Footprints and the meaning if this mysterious Civilization Historians, Scholars and Scientist debate. So next time, Everyone, Goodbye!
Elizabeth did not have Mary killed to ‘steal the throne’. Mary just died of natural causes. Elizabeth had been imprisoned by Mary for years and was in constant fear for her life until she succeeded Mary, known as Bloody Mary, for the persecution, and burning, of Protestants for heresy, in what could be described as a reign of terror in Mary’s attempt to restore Catholicism to England.
The Mary the author may have been thinking of was Mary Queen of Scots, who was imprisoned for years and was eventually implicated in a plot to kill Elizabeth, take the throne, and restore Catholicism to England. The plot was revealed by the intercept of letters to Mary, Queen of Scots by Walsingham, Elizabeth’s spymaster. Mary was finally executed for treason in 1587, 29 years after Elizabeth’s succession to the throne.
I agree our ancient and current history has not been adequately preserved and reported as there are too many self interests that gladly hijack it for their own purposes. I have decided to change big foot and all other names to “Very large noisy smelly creatures” just to mix things up a little on this highly conroversial topic and to see what comments it draws. Have a great day on the universe!
Good response and you observed there hasn’t been any traces of these creatures found in the millions of sightings but peope are definitely witnessing something all over the planet and that can’t be denied. From that I believe these are actual some sort of beings that pop in and out of our reality at will for some unknown purpose. We can use science or metaphysics in dealing with this but I believe the best approach is to keep an open mind until it is resolved one way or another or as I always say “keep one foot outside the box always”.
I love the theories of giant aliens living in Sumeria making human mine gold for them. Seriously, why the swamps of Iraq? If I was an alien I would be out on the beach in California listening to the Beach Boys, kicking back a cool Pina Colada while humans mined gold at Sutter’s Mill. For entertainment we could watch sabre tooth tigers struggle to get out of tar pits. My proof is that there are zero people who are living on the beach in California trying to figure out how they can retire to a swamp in Iraq and live with the Marsh Arabs.
The Photek analysis is pretty good however it is 23 years old. It predates the “Internet” phenomena and the massive amount of online reports in forums like the BFRO that have revolutionized our ability to identify cryptic sightings of animals (or other phenomena) by ameliorated the inherent reluctance of people to discuss unusual animal/UFO or other sightings to avoid ridicule. So, for one, the Photek report does not include the thousands of Sasquatch reports that have occured in the past 23 years. It is also apparent that the storage capacity and computer power available in 1998 was a fraction of what is now available, so I would think better technology would make analysis easier and faster. For these reasons, and as Mitchel Townsend has stated, it would be nice to see a current or updated scientific analysis of the “Bigfoot” phenomena.
Here you can navigate quickly through all comments made in any article sorted by date/time.

Hi Zucchini,
I’m really sorry but I find your writing style confusing with it’s lack of grammar and often unusual sentence structure (this is just an observation and not a critisism of you) I really appreciate the time you took to write and respond unfortunately we don’t share any essential middle ground for conversation. You view the bible as factual and I do not. I prefer science and evidence and you prefer stories and legends without evidence.

Without science the world; indeed the universe was a very strange place. People feel uncomfortable and insecure without understanding and knowing things.

Even with Science much of the world and the universe it is mysterious and much remains unknown ,which is why it is so important to stick to facts . We can still preserve, protect and appreciate the myths and legends and stories told by our ancestors but we need to remember them, in the context that may stories were retold over and over across vast distances of both time and geography with each person changing the story in the re-telling . We must remind ourselves that the people that created these stories did not have the technology or the science to understand their world the way we can now. For example many cultures believed thunder and lightening were caused by Gods and Demons fighting in the Heavans but we all know that isn’t true ! :)
I am sorry but this is one of the worst historical references out there (2nd to King Arthur by Geoffrey of Monmouth). The problem lies with dates. The earliest of the Hebrew texts used were not written down until the 2nd covenant around the 7th century BCE.

A five year old could have done better!
Please do research next time and get your facts correct. Catherine, was the mother of Mary, Queen of England, not Mary, the Queen of Scotland. Also Elizabeth I did not kill or have her sister killed. I understand she died from cancerous tumors.

People guessing isn’t helpful. Frauds and hoaxes confuse things further. People treating their own non-evidence based opinions as valid facts are also part of the problem.

The police were frustrated ,but told us it was often the case (which leads me to wonder about Police line-ups)…...so my point is that just because someone says something it doesn’t make it true and just because you think something, doesn’t make it real and interestingly the more someone repeats a story the truer it appears , but “appears” is the key word here !…….Sadly the more anecdotal the evidence is the less likely it is to be true. Think about it ! Lots of sightings of Bigfoot and Bigfoot foot prints ; thousands in fact, but no fecal matter , no body remains,no bones or teeth , no hair or fur snagged on a tree (any fur found has turned out to be a curious mix of several animals often including dog and monkey), no DNA traces left ,not even in supposed abandoned meals and no shelters or bedding found etc ? Does that make sense to you ? The fact that bigfoot foot prints aren’t found by scientific people who actually want to find them and I’m talking about people with the expert knowledge to do so, people capable of finding very rare animals is a big red flag ! Too many Bigfoot foot prints are neat and tidy without the splayed toes barefoot hominids have…..I have yet to see any convincing evidence for Bigfoot and I would love Bigfoot to be true !
Fruit, veg and cereals are fine for dogs in moderation. There is a chasm between an omnivorous diet and a vegan one. Most dog food cans contain the latter two of these ingredients, as well as meat.
There's also a chasm between the term 'pet parent' and possible alternatives, such as 'pet carer' or 'pet guardian', now that 'owner' is deemed to be too offensive to the permanently offended.
Calling those with a dog or dogs 'parents' won't stop cruelty anyway. One only need to look at what some actual parents do to their kids to see that.
Hi Cuzco,
Okay what I'm about to share will most likely CUZCO leave you wondering what does this current Subject have to do with Big Foot? Actually what I'm in the process of sharing goes back to your earlier question when will mainstream Science Finally accept the existence of Big Foot Correct?
I equate the question with an similar experience in my growth As a Christian. I thought I knew almost everything about The Bible as a Believer till I watched a documentary on The History Channel Banned Books of The Bible and they featured Enoch.
I lived for quite sometime as an Christian Suspicious of Enoch due to The Gospel Matthew and Luke when Jesus warned his Disciples which echoes down to me especially through Time See to it that you are not deceived.
For their should rise Counterfeit Messiahs and False Prophet's (later Epistles of Paul and Peter teaches of False Teacher's), if so could Deceive the very elect, so naturally hearing of Enoch I did for sometime believe it was written by you guessed it A False Prophet.
An then I had my Thomas experience that's the Disciple known by his Street name Doubting Thomas (I no longer call Thomas that), Thomas needed to both touch and speak to Christ before saying I Believe.
That is how it was with me an Enoch an now, I just adore these incredible Bible Book's of Enoch an all other Books that were dropped from The Scriptures as well.
Okay so much like as an example of how; I and even today my fellow Brother's and Sister's in Christ, approach The Book of Enoch at a distance.
So too me, I feel that is what Science is doing when touching on the matter of Big Foot although, honesty I'm not certain even in all the Scientific evidence of Big Foot they'd still Deny It.
Think about it that would be forcing Scientist out of their comfort zone; like, I was spiritually pushed out of my symbolic Holy Bible Box of just so.
I don't believe I said I didn't believe did I? In Big Foot and the Scientific evidence?
Anyway that was all I wished too share with you CUZCO so until, next time!
If you read the report you find that it is surprisingly current, since it focuses on the physicality of the creature, including height, breasts, musculature, and body mechanics related to neck, limbs, stride, foot placement, knee bend, and other factors which, when compared with human capabilities, stand in stark contrast to a human actor in a monkey suit. No computer was necessary for the analysis, and in my opinion it still stands as a powerful proof of life for the existence of the creature. That said, it remains shameful that, with the wealth of evidence since accumulated, mainstream science still refuses to turn its powerful research tools on the subject. In that regard I heartily agree.
Hi All,
Let's look at this particular debate surrounding Giant Footprints found seemingly all over the World. The fact that All of The Ancient World; testifies to this Giantic possible not necessarily Giant Phenomenon since Everybody maintained seeing them maybe it's Time to accept that Cyclops, Giant's, & Ogres of course teeny tiny beings that seemed to prefer living alongside of the giants that walked The Earth, somehow they had to have existed.
The footprints might not be considered definite proof but, it's a start. I do know in my favorite Biblical Text Enoch, The Scribe, The Prophet, 7th Generation from Adam that Earth was older but, was referenced too by another name that felt too me how old Earth is estimated to be.
I've come to the conclusion of not declaring how the Ancient World testified to how Earth was and the people that inhabitated Earth described as Giant's, an or Titan's (too me that description is scary to think of) but, since I wasn't there living in that Era, I can't say that It didn't happen the way significant events that took place on Earth is described.
So I believe in The Giant Footprints what hope is never found Titan's and teeny tiny human beings they don't seem to be a friendly bunch.
This is what I think of the Giant Footprints and the meaning if this mysterious Civilization Historians, Scholars and Scientist debate. So next time, Everyone, Goodbye!
This waste of a human man was a coward of epic porpotion i’m guessing.
Elizabeth did not have Mary killed to ‘steal the throne’. Mary just died of natural causes. Elizabeth had been imprisoned by Mary for years and was in constant fear for her life until she succeeded Mary, known as Bloody Mary, for the persecution, and burning, of Protestants for heresy, in what could be described as a reign of terror in Mary’s attempt to restore Catholicism to England.
The Mary the author may have been thinking of was Mary Queen of Scots, who was imprisoned for years and was eventually implicated in a plot to kill Elizabeth, take the throne, and restore Catholicism to England. The plot was revealed by the intercept of letters to Mary, Queen of Scots by Walsingham, Elizabeth’s spymaster. Mary was finally executed for treason in 1587, 29 years after Elizabeth’s succession to the throne.
I agree our ancient and current history has not been adequately preserved and reported as there are too many self interests that gladly hijack it for their own purposes. I have decided to change big foot and all other names to “Very large noisy smelly creatures” just to mix things up a little on this highly conroversial topic and to see what comments it draws. Have a great day on the universe!
Good response and you observed there hasn’t been any traces of these creatures found in the millions of sightings but peope are definitely witnessing something all over the planet and that can’t be denied. From that I believe these are actual some sort of beings that pop in and out of our reality at will for some unknown purpose. We can use science or metaphysics in dealing with this but I believe the best approach is to keep an open mind until it is resolved one way or another or as I always say “keep one foot outside the box always”.
I love the theories of giant aliens living in Sumeria making human mine gold for them. Seriously, why the swamps of Iraq? If I was an alien I would be out on the beach in California listening to the Beach Boys, kicking back a cool Pina Colada while humans mined gold at Sutter’s Mill. For entertainment we could watch sabre tooth tigers struggle to get out of tar pits. My proof is that there are zero people who are living on the beach in California trying to figure out how they can retire to a swamp in Iraq and live with the Marsh Arabs.
The Photek analysis is pretty good however it is 23 years old. It predates the “Internet” phenomena and the massive amount of online reports in forums like the BFRO that have revolutionized our ability to identify cryptic sightings of animals (or other phenomena) by ameliorated the inherent reluctance of people to discuss unusual animal/UFO or other sightings to avoid ridicule. So, for one, the Photek report does not include the thousands of Sasquatch reports that have occured in the past 23 years. It is also apparent that the storage capacity and computer power available in 1998 was a fraction of what is now available, so I would think better technology would make analysis easier and faster. For these reasons, and as Mitchel Townsend has stated, it would be nice to see a current or updated scientific analysis of the “Bigfoot” phenomena.
