About 15km from our village is one of the world's most unique historical sites, Laetoli Fossil Site. In 1976 Mary Leaky and her archeological team were at the site when they stumbled upon the oldest known human footprints (while throwing around Elephant dung). The footprints are 3.6 million years old. They are currently covered up to preserve the state, but within the next 2 years the government will be building a museum to properly showcase them. Below is the covered up footprints and a mold of what they look like.
