White Sands is one of those places that keeps delivering. It's changed our timeline of when people arrived in the Americans and it's completely changed how we think of them. Hopefully they have enough funding to keep doing what they're doing.

It’s also one of the most alien feeling places I’ve been to. Cannot recommend a visit to the National Park enough and suspect it’s not more of a tourist destination just because it’s so remote.

Being on top of the sand dunes is truly bizarre. It was so bright that I could see perfectly well without glasses (bright light = small pupil diameter = small aperture = high depth of field), and is pure monochrome white for miles in every direction.

Not that I'm likely to ever know, but that is probably what it felt like to be on the moon. It's only missing the black sky and 1/6 gravity.

lol nobody outside of joe rogaine and tiktok take hancock seriously. dude is an absolute scam artist and liar. hancock makes you stupid.

No I disagree. He’s exactly what we need. Established dogma needs shaking up and to defend itself every now and then anew.

Established science has no problem being challenged with evidence. Do the work.

Is it possible those tracks could have also been made with a little wheel attached to the thing?

no reason to assume that given the lack of evidence for wheels in North America at that time, or even for many thousands of years later. Early (~2k+ years ago) examples of wheels are not found in the context of load bearing devices and are few and far between.

Gotta stick to your convictions!

I appreciate how you slid that in there. But for how long can we drag this out?

Until it's a burden weighing us down. Shift loads towards the ground and add skis.
