    They found a strange building they've called "the worlds oldest Chinese Mann's Theatre", and also in the ground they found the cryptic words:

    "Charles Heston"
    and two handprints.

    Scientists are trying to decode this strange oddity.

    You go and pour some fresh concrete or volcano mud, and some idiot goes and writes their initials in it, or steps there. It was the same then as it is now.

    Who left the 56 footprints is not clear. But their discoverers suggest either late Homo erectus or Homo heidelbergensis -- two early human species found in Europe during the Paleolithic era, also known as the Stone Age.
    When they find the guy that did it, they're going to be MAD!
