Cool! Like finding a dinosaur track!

 


A Roman brick from Cherchell, Algeria with a 2000-year-old imprint of a human hand. The handprint is seemingly that of a large Roman man, who pressed his hand into the brick as it lay out to dry before firing. Closer inspection reveals the fingerprints and skin textures of the man

  1. Are you sure it's not an imprint of a Buddhist Palm Style, from "Kung Fu Hustle"?

    1. The owner of that hand probably only Identified as a man.

  3. Better check to see if he has any outstanding warrants.
