Pretty interesting that they found an untouched battleground site in PNG.

Wow, pretty amazing, interesting find. I'm surprised that those boots remained in such good condition after all the years of being exposed to hot, humid weather. Isn't leather one of the first things to deteriorate when exposed to such conditions or were the boots made out of plastic?

Interesting that this "discovery" has been known about all along and avoided by the locals. Is it really a discovery when you know where something is with great assurance?
