Hello! Welcome back folks !

In 2003, a Mutthi Mutthi woman walking across cracked outback clay found a footprint pressed into the ground that had no business surviving twenty thousand years. Then she found another. Then dozens more. What followed became the largest collection of Ice Age human footprints ever discovered anywhere on Earth, and more than two decades later, the desert still hasn't finished revealing them. This video traces the discovery at Willandra Lakes, the six foot six hunter caught mid sprint in the hardened clay, the decision to rebury the site to protect it, and why researchers know with near certainty that more trackways are still sealed beneath the sand, waiting for the same wind erosion that uncovered the first ones to expose whatever comes next
