In the heart of South Africa’s ancient lands,
A discovery of monumental hands,
A footprint of the past, colossal and grand,
Unveiling mysteries across the land.
The Mpuluzi Batholith, a tale untold,
A 200 million-year-old secret to behold,
Captured in video, shared with the world,
Leaving minds and imaginations unfurled.
As the footage rolls, the story unfolds,
Of a ‘giant’ footprint in stone, so bold,
Etched in time, a relic of the past,
A mystery that continues to last.
The size, the shape, the age it bears,
A footprint from an era where time wears,
Its mark upon the earth, a testament true,
To creatures that once roamed, in a world anew.
I watch in awe, as the camera pans,
Over this relic of ancient plans,
The enormity of it all, the questions it brings,
A puzzle that sparks imaginations to wings.
Who left this mark, so large and deep?
In slumbering stone, where memories sleep,
Was it a being of myth or reality’s hand,
A giant, a creature, from a forgotten land?
The enigma of the Mpuluzi Batholith,
A riddle that makes the mind’s wheels shift,
200 million years in the earth’s embrace,
Leaving us pondering the footprints of space.
As I watch the video, mesmerized by the sight,
Of this ‘giant’ footprint, a relic of might,
I am astounded by this enigmatic find,
A revelation that leaves me awestruck and aligned.
So let the Mpuluzi Batholith stand tall,
A symbol of mysteries that enthrall,
A footprint from a world long gone,
A reminder that history’s song marches on.
