Great And Never Explained Mysteries Of Nevadas History Nevada is full of archaeological and anthropological discoveries - antiquities, no one is able to explain. One of these shocking discoveries gives us evidence that man existed in Nevada more than 200 million years ago. In his famous book The Hidden History of the Human Race, Michael Cremo writes: On October 8, 1922, the American Weekly section of the New York Sunday American ran a prominent feature titled Mystery of the Petrified Shoe Sole 5,000,000 Years Old, by Dr. W. H. Ballou. Ballou wrote: Some time ago, while he was prospecting for fossils in Nevada, John T. Reid, a distinguished mining engineer and geologist, stopped suddenly and looked down in utter bewilderment and amazement at a rock near his feet. For there, a part of the rock itself, was what seemed to be a human footprint! Closer inspection showed that it was not a mark of a naked foot, but was, apparently, a shoe sole which had been turned into stone. The forepart was missing. But there was the outline of at least twothirds of it, and around this outline ran a well-defined sewn thread which had, it appeared, attached the welt to the sole. Further on was another line of sewing, and in the center, where the foot would have rested had the object been really a shoe sole, there was an indentation, exactly such as would have been made by the bone of the heel rubbing upon and wearing down the material of which the sole had been made. Thus was found a fossil which is the foremost mystery of science today. For the rock in which it was found is at least 5,000,000 years old. Reid brought the specimen to New York, where he tried to bring it to the attention of other scientists. Reid reported: On arrival at New York, I showed this fossil to Dr. James F. Kemp, geologist of Columbia University; Professors H. F. Osborn, D. Matthew and E. O. Hovey of the American Museum of Natural History. All of these men reached the same conclusion, in effect that it was the most remarkable natural imitation of an artificial object they had ever seen. These experts agreed, however, that the rock formation was Triassic, and manufacturers of shoes agreed that originally the specimen was a hand-welted sole. Dr. W. D. Matthew wrote a brief report on the find declaring that while all the semblances of a shoe were present, including the threads with which it had been sewn, it was only a remarkable imitation, a lusus naturae, or freak of nature. Curiously enough, an inquiry by us to the American Museum of Natural History resulted in a reply that the report by Matthew is not in their files. Reid, despite Matthews dismissal, nevertheless persisted: I next got hold of a microphotographer and an analytical chemist of the Rockefeller Institute, who, on the outside, so as not to make it an institute matter, made photos and analyses of the specimen. The analyses proved up [removed] any doubt of the shoe sole having been subjected to Triassic fossilization. . . . The microphoto magnifications are twenty times larger than the specimen itself, showing the minutest detail of thread twist and warp, proving conclusively that the shoe sole is not a resemblance, but is strictly the handiwork of man. Even to the naked eye the threads can be seen distinctly, and the definitely symmetrical outlines of the shoe sole. Inside this rim and running parallel to it is a line which appears to be regularly perforated as if for stitches. I may add that at least two geologists whose names will develop someday have admitted that the shoe sole is valid, a genuine fossilization in Triassic rocks. The Triassic rock bearing the fossil shoe sole is now recognized as being far more than 5 million years old. The Triassic period is now generally dated at 213-248 million years ago. For now, the oldest known petroglyphs in North America, which are cut into several boulders in western Nevada, date to at least 10,500 years ago and perhaps even as far back as 14,800 years ago. The petroglyphs located at the Winnemucca Lake petroglyph site 35 miles (56 kilometers) northeast of Reno, at Winnemucca Lake, form complex designs on several large limestone boulders that have long been known. Although there are no people, animals or handprint symbols depicted. The petroglyph designs that range from about 20 cm (8 inches) up to about 100 cm (3 feet) in width, include a series of vertical, chain-like symbols and a number of large, deeply carved grooves, dots and diverse shapes that resemble flowers, trees, diamonds, trees. Winnemucca Lakes anonymous rock art may one day shed some light into a civilization that was present in this region of Nevada about 15,000 years old. Even greater mystery from the past are mummies of Caucasian gigantic humans with red hair unearthed in Nevada and other areas of North America. Recently it has been confirmed that four of the ancient skulls unearthed at Lovelock Cave, Nevada located in the vicinity of Winnemucca, are, in fact, in the possession of the Humboldt Museum in Winnemucca, Nevada. In 1911, several red-haired mummies ranging from 6 and a half feet to 8 feet tall were discovered in a cave in Lovelock, Nevada. In February and June of 1931, large skeletons were found in the Humboldt lake bed near Lovelock, Nevada. The first of these two skeletons found measured 8 1/2 feet tall and appeared to have been wrapped in a gum-covered fabric similiar to the Egyptian manner. The second skeleton was almost 10 feet long, reported Review - Miner, June 19, 1931. On January 23, 1904, The Saint Paul Globe reported from Winnemucca, Nevada as follows: Workmen engaged in digging gravel here today uncovered at a depth of about twelve feet a lot of bones, part of a skeleton of a gigantic human being, 11 feet in height. Dr. Samuels examined them and pronounced them to be the bones of a man who must have been nearly eleven feet in height. The metacarpal bones measure four and a half inches in length and are large in proportion. A part of the ulna was found and in its complete form would have been between seventeen and 18 inches in length. The remainder of the skeleton is being searched for. In 1865, a two-inch metal screw was discovered in a piece of feldspar unearthed from the Abbey Mine in Treasure City, Nevada. The screw had long ago oxidized, but its form — particularly the shape of its threads — could be clearly seen in the feldspar. The stone was calculated to be 21 million years in age. A prehistoric race, advanced in art, science and civilization once inhabited the region bordering on the Colorado, from the Grand Canon to the Gulf of California, and inhabited large and regularly laid-out cities; built canals, aqueducts, highways and culverts; understood engineering,constructed systems of irrigation and drainage, and embarked extensively in mining operations, according to a study. Most probably people belonging to this highly advanced civilization has a great influence on the northern part of Nevadas and its great antiquities as well. Copyright © MessageToEagle.
