Hypotheses-------Dictionary------Something ASSUMED because it SEEMS likely to be a true explanation; THEORY..       There's nothing concrete about a hypotheses, it's still assuming something. Many a false teacher starts out with a false premise and builds upon that false premise.
Those who do not see the false premise will follow and embrace the teachings of a liar.

John in Va..

Yes, hypothesis is a matter of theory.
A good scientist does not operate on an assumption or conjecture.
They would propose a hypothesis and set about proving or disproving that hypothesis.

   Idaho Jones, thank you for excellent links!
I know about Firewalking not only in theory. It is not supernatural nor paranormal.  I performed such tricks many time to take my friends in shock. The key is very simple. When You are calm confidence, the foots are relax and hermetically pressed to hot charcoal. As soon as you became afraid, the foots begin to curl up, air come under foots and - instant burn!
There are many unbelievable thing, having a simple explanation. Smiley

johnlaw, differentiate the consistancy of our present day concrete and  hard, wild basalt block, everybody can easy .
The location this big basalt block with footprints is near the thick ridge, that spread far. In pic 1700 you can see the view from footptint's to south.
In pic 1701, at left you can see the tree. The footprint's rock stand at 7 m to left from that tree.
Upper of that ridge, situate a tableland with a garden of other man. This is terrace-like places.


Hello Sasha.......I don't know much about Basalt formations, the only thing I was wondering was if the Basalt matter was still pliable at cool temperatures similar to our present day concrete. Concrete
takes a while to cure and impressions can be made in it before it gets rock hard. Also concrete is made out of earth material, which doesn't have to be hot to form a rock of sorts. I quess my point is are some of these same materials present in basalt rock thereby leaving it still pliable at cool temperatures. Maybe someone out there knows and has an answer. By the way those are great pictures you've posted.  Wish you good hunting ...John in Vriginia USA

 johnlaw, all ancient buildings in Armenia was made of stones using lime and gypsum like a cement.
In 1824, English inventor, Joseph Aspdin invented Portland Cement, which has remained the dominant cement used in concrete production.
Reinforced concrete was invented (1849) by Joseph Monier, who received a patent in 1867.

What do you think, when the concrete manufacturing wide begins in Armenia?
How years old may be this stone?

mfitzs70, regarding "firewalkers", I think that it's one of the versions.

Thanks! Wish you good hunting too. Sasha.

sasha, I read your post with great interest. Especially the link on the invention of concrete. Some Time ago I came across a small book by L.Sprague de Camp. A Frenchman I believe. "The Ancient Engineers" had this account: "About the third century B.C. the Roman builders made an important discovery. Near Vesuvius were deposits of sandy volcanic ash which when added to lime mortar, made a cement that dried to rocklike hardness and even hardened under water.....by mixing this cement with sand and gravel they made concrete. Samples of Roman concrete have come down to modern times....harder than many natural rocks after many centuries of exposure. I believe the secret of Roman Concrete was lost for centuries until Joseph Aspdin figured it out how to make it from clay and lime. gambol

gambol, it's very interesting. Perfectly may be the modern technology make a similar processing, but conditions in Vesuvius was other. I heared, that modern concret become stronger the first 100 years, after that it grow weaker. I seen ancient cement that consist
from lime, sand and eggs and has white color. 35 centuries! Now it's stronger than modern concret. Sasha.

I have to say this entire discussion has been both fascinating and entertaining.  Thanks, Sasha and everyone else who has posted their thoughts on this anomaly.

Very interesting, the toes are also "off set" from the heal of the foot. does that "line up" with the people of that area and "time" frame of when the prints could have been made? Just my simpletin mind at work.
