The F*cking Nephites were English - that's what they will say except they will say the timing is off.

Here's the BBC article with the claim "Earliest footprints outside Africa found in Norfolk."

I'm always skeptical of such extreme claims because they smack of somebody trying to make a name for themselves.

>"At first, we weren't sure what we were seeing," Dr Ashton told me, "but it was soon clear that the hollows resembled human footprints."

>The hollows were washed away not long after they were identified. The team were, however, able to capture the footprints on video that will be shown at an exhibition at London's Natural History Museum later this month.

So these alleged footprints persist for 800,000 years and are suddenly washed away?

BTW, the dating methods also appear questionable. Finally, I looked at the journal PLOS ONE, and their methods of publishing "scientific findings" appear problematic.

In this one, the speculation is that an early hominim, Homo antecessor. created the casts, but the evidence for H. antecessor (200,000 years early than some fossils found in Spain) are some "flint tools" that were found by the same archaeological team that discovered the alleged footprints.

The area they usually find these footprints is the bottom of the channel between England and the rest of Europe. When tides become abnormally low they can excavate the area. But the footprints don't last well once exposed and I've seen cases where they are gently washing them to expose more of them and they DO wash away, if the team isn't careful.

The American Nephite Tourists left their lens cover behind.

Looks like nothing to me.

I'm waiting for more proof, but it's not beyond the realm of believability. We and our ancestor species have been around for a long time, and we are wanderers. 800,000 years is well before the apparent main flow of homo sapiens toward Europe, but who's to say there weren't earlier migrations? We'll need more evidence.

There was a sign in reformed Egyptian that read "Nephi was here" next to the footprints.

The scientists covered it up. True story.

445,000 years ago the Annunaki arrived to pursue their search for gold to repair their planet's atmosphere. Therefore there is nothing unusal about the footprint.

I was unable to make out any "footprints" in that photo.
