On the giant footprints at the Ain Dara Temple – Aleppo, Syria

Under consideration is the February 13, 2017 AD article Smells Like Nephilim: Giant Footprints Discovered at Ancient Temple in Syria by UFOholic.

It notes, “Evidence that giants once roamed the land can be found all over the world” which is of interest for various reasons including that when I read it I had just finished writing On Minister Fortson’s Rapha: Post Flood Giants In The Old Testament wherein I quote Fortson thusly, “Archaeology is rife with evidence that points to the reality of giants.” Yet, many alleged human giant skeletons turned out to be the bones of dinosaurs and particularly mammoths which personages of earlier found and attempted to articulate to the best of their limited knowledge—see Grading the giant human skeleton chart.

Also, and this is more of a generic statement, if someone is a UFOholic then sometimes they may make much ado about nothing since nothing is just about all they have to report—as I noted in Ancient giant skeleton found in Iran regarding giants: so there are UFOholic and Giant-holics.

The giant footprints were found at the Ain Dara Temple in a Syrian village northwest of Aleppo.

The Temple is thought to have been built circa 1,300 BC

So as to cut to the chase—pun intended, as we shall see—I think that UFOholic gets it right, even if unconsciously, by writing that there are “a pair of large, bare footprints etched into the stone floors of the temple’s entrance” and “A third footprint can be found beyond the first two, carved on the threshold” (emphasis added for emphasis).

The 3 feet are 3 ft. long and the article states that “these footprints would have belonged to a humanoid standing over 60 feet tall!”

Without quotation or citation, the article asserts that “archaeologists have long speculated the footprints belonged to one of the gods worshipped at Ain Dara” but that “The footprints, one could infer, might belong to someone else entirely.” Now, even if archaeologists speculate that the footprints belonged to one of the gods there is a difference between “belonged to” as in that a physical being imprinted them therein and “belonged to” as in a carving supposed to represent a god.

The article leaves this open as it concludes by asking, “So, what do you think these out of place carvings are – merely artistic representations where the creator messed with proportions or imprints with intent left by ancient giants?”

Well, these are indeed carvings, etchings and are worse than the worst Big Foot footprints ever faked.
There are two side by side such as one would make when standing still and one other one: there is no track of footprints as if a being was walking along. The single footprint does seem to have some cracking mostly at the heel area which would be the case of a print made by walking since we generally step heel first. Of course, this is what someone would do also if they were wearing wooden fake Big Foot-like stamps on one’s feet which one would be wise to do when having to model such a foot: the artisan would make the imprint upon soft clay and then add detail (however, this might be in stone). So, perhaps a giant being landed on the spot, took one step and flew off: yet, there are no cracks on the ground around the footprints which surely would be left by a gigantic being landing thereon.

If I had to guess, and I do, I would say that they mark the way into whatever was the main area of worship at the time. Perhaps it was even marking the spot where one was to stop so as to make some sort of obeisance with a follow up one showing the way to proceed.
