Kerala's Kanhirapoil region in Kasaragod has yielded significant archaeological discoveries, including 24 pairs of prehistoric footprints and a human figure carved into rock, dating back to the Megalithic period. These rock-cut footprints, likely representing souls of the dead, demonstrate ancient civilizations' sophisticated craftsmanship using iron tools. Similar finds in Udupi, Wayanad's Edakkal Caves, and other north Kerala sites highlight the region's shared cultural heritage, underscoring Kerala's importance in India's archaeological landscape and providing valuable insights into the lives of prehistoric communities.
