At White Sands National Park, a discovery was made that shocked the world. If true, it would cause us to rewrite human history as we currently know it. The White Sands footprints have sparked international attention, but are they what they claim to be? A geoarchaeologist and I hike into this bizarre and wonderful landscape to take a closer look at the discovery shaping the 21st Century. #whitesands #ancienthistory #history #hiking #exploration #discovery #archaeologyadventures
