Re Clean-Up, etc.

I am still adding information and the format etc. is evolving as I go in new directions etc.

I will do my best - any help welcome

A possible contender for petrosomatoglyph footprint

When I was a youngster [1974] my family visited Sarajevo. At the location where Gavrilo Princip shot Archduke Ferdinand and precipitated the Great War in 1914 were a set of footprints clearly visible in a panel of asphalt set in the footpath. The remainder of the footpath had been resurfaced except for this square, and there was a plaque on the nearest wall explaining that these were GP's footprints formed while he loitered waiting to take a shot at the Archduke. Apart from the whole implausibility of it being his footprints and no one else's in that city, as a 14 year old it was mighty impressive.

I bring this up here because it may qualify as a petrosomatoglyph, although I'm happy if the keepers of the Petro... tradition deem it to not qualify. I also noted this on the Gavrilo Princip page of Wikipedia, asking if the footprints had survived the recent war, but have had no answer.

Otherwise, a really interesting article. More power to your typing fingers!60.242.50.195 (talk) 12:00, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Whilst in Kashmir in the 1970's, there was/is a huge Jesus legend. He is suposed to have travelled there after the crucifiction, Mary died on the way and was buried on the Pakistan/ Kashmir border. He set up practice in a delightful valley, now know as Yusmarg (Jesus' valley)where he was recognised as a teacher, healer and holy man. When he died, he was burried in Srinegar, where a footprint sits in the tomb. Worth a mention in this section I would have thought.188.220.186.57 (talk) 12:06, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fomatting and content upgraded and wikified - ok?

The Devil

What is that The Devil section all about? To the layman it makes absolutely no sense. Can someone please explain it or better yet improve the article to give context? Nach0king (talk) 19:56, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In the same section (3.2) is found "The Devil made it to Rhode Island in the USA, and he probably came from Massachusetts." Is this vandalism, an inside joke, or POV?--gnomeselby (talk) 10:02, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Assuming the The Devil section is valid, might it not fit better under "Religious Figures". Also, I thought the Rhode Island sentence was pretty funny, but it does seem vandalismic (<not a real word). 24.10.183.7 (talk) 20:06, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Perfectly reasonable word 'Giving the appearance of being vandalism.' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.195.193.37 (talk) 09:03, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

one "devils footprint" that wasnt mentioned is the one at the Marienkirche in munich. the central 2 domed church in munich Marienplatz, (town centre) has imprinted in one of the steps an old footprint, as legend goes it was the devil or a demon that tried entering the church and bunt his footprint into the entrance stone, it would be nice if someone could write this in, or confirm it with references, as i have been in germany a couple of decades now and my english spelling is getting quite bad as it isnt in use that much any more, thankyou.

Footprints in the north east of Afica, in Spain and on the Canary Islands

Within the section 5.1 Footprints I can’t find anything about footprints on the Canary Islands. As I am not able to write in English I just can point out this article to you: Pichler, Werner Podomorphe Darstellungen unter den Felsbildern Fuerteventuras in Adoranten, 2005, pp103–110 [1] I also can’t find anything about footprints in northern Spain and the north-east of Africa.--koppchen (talk) 16:30, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Narrowing scope

I suggest that the scope of this article be narrowed to footprint and spoor petroglyphs/carvings. "Petrosomatoglyph" is a neologism but we should use it in a consistent way at least. Sculptures in the round and lifecasts seem like a different topic. Pharos (talk) 23:25, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
