In Piska Nagri village, on the outskirts of Ranchi City in Jharkahnd State, geologist Nitish Priyadarshi has been analysing a set of large footprints that, according to local legend, may signify the presence of gods from the sky landing on site. But is there any reality to the story?

The larger-than-normal footprints dating back to ancient times are not the first to be discovered. In September 1925, a footprint of prehistoric origins measuring nearly eight feet in length was discovered by James Higgins high on the rock formations of Busy Peak in the US. In October 1926, Oakland newspapers reported a discovery made by Professor George Louderback of the University of California of prehistoric footprints on a cliff near San Jose, measuring about five feet in length. And last year a giant footprint about four feet long was found in rock near Mpuluzi, near the Swaziland border in South Africa, although like others its validity is hotly debated.

However, the latest discovery is somewhat different. The footprints, which also appear as a depression in rock, are of those wearing wooden sandals and not barefoot as the others. One set of footprints measures 11 inches in length and 5 inches in width, and another set in the same area measures 10 inches by 4.5 inches. They also appear to have been purposefully carved into the rock.

“It may have been made by the local people manually at that time in memory of the visitors,” said Priyardarshi. “Seeing the weathering stage of the foot prints it can be said that the age of the foot prints may be thousands year old.”

Rather peculiarly, the ancient footprints are engraved next to a carved image of a mysterious flying object. “The footprints and the flying object are on the same piece of rock on each other’s side. Maybe they were engraved to show that the two king gods arrived at the place on a flying object,” Mr Priyadarshi said.

There is a growing body of research in the field of alternative archaeology which presents evidence for a race of very large hominids once walking the Earth. In the early part of the 20th century there were reports of fossilized giants being found in America. For example, the following comes from an article that appeared in the Postville Herald on November 7th, 1919….
