The Relatability of an Ancient Journey

Thousands of years ago, a father walked alongside his young child on a trail, periodically carrying them and walking hand in hand. Although we don't know the specifics of their journey, the scene is relatable to any parent who has experienced a similar adventure with their own kids. Fossilized footprints discovered in White Sands National Park tell the story of this ordinary yet timeless journey.

An Ordinary Journey Thousands of Years Ago

"There he walked, along the trail, carrying his young child pressed up against his side. Sometimes the kid would get a burst of energy and call to be put down. I want to walk. I want to walk. So the father would set the child down and they’d walk together, hand in hand. Soon enough, they’d get tired again and need to be carried. Other times, the father stopped briefly to readjust, putting the child down between his legs and then picking up him and switching sides. Walk. Rest. Walk.

How long did it go on like this? What were their names? Where were they going?"
