Human Footprint
The Nicaragua Print
Managua, Nicaragua
200,000 years ago


The Discovery:

Discovered by tourists near Lake Managua in Nicaragua.

Established Theory:

Based on Carbon-14 testing and the presence of domesticated animal tracks and stone artifacts found with the prints it is determined the prints are only 5,000 years old. (The only websites I could find from an established viewpoint on these tracks were from tourist information web sites for Nicaragua which all state the tracks are less than 10,000 years old and give no details on how this date is determined.)


Alternative Theory:

The strata which the tracks were found in were originally dated at 200,000 years ago. This date was revised by geologists to 50,000 years old for the sole reason that humans, according to the evolutionary theory, had not evolved until 100,000 years later. This of course causes a problem as the first humans, according to the established theory, did not arrive in the Americas until around 13,000 years ago. This date then revised again to about 3,000 years ago based on Carbon-14 dating. But, this does not fit with the evidence of major catastrophic events which have deposited stratas above the footprints as well as mastadon bones, supposed to have been extinct 12,000 years ago, that were found in stratas above the footprints.


Conclusions:

It becomes clear that the date of these footprints by established scientists are based on bias preconceptions of man's history in the Americas. Carbon-14 dating is a valid dating method but has been found to be unreliable. A true date must be determined by comparing all of the evidence of a site, not just one. In this case the evidence suggests a date much older than 5,000 years.
