Exploring The UNKNOWN | Cliff Edge 'CART RUTS' And Ancient Tech
Vložit

- Cart ruts are an absolute mystery because no-one knows how old they are, who created them or what their function was! They are all over the place but an incredibly high concentration exists on the Mediterranean island of Malta. In this video I go looking for the famous Maltese cart rut that runs off the edge of a cliff. This strangely located rut has lead some researchers to think it belongs to the Ice Age, and that it was made by a long lost civilization when the land was configured differently. However, on Malta, there’s no evidence for human habitation until thousands of years later in the Early Neolithic.
Cart ruts are parallel grooves carved or worn into the bedrock and look like they were for vehicles, perhaps an ancient transport system. They are referred to in literature as having gauges or widths of 1.41 metres, but as you will see in this episode, my measurements show this does vary. Over the years archaeologists and independent researchers have measured and catalogued the cart ruts and experimental archaeologists have tried to work out whether a wagon, a sled or a another type of vehicle once travelled in the ruts.
Several papers and books have suggested alternatives to transport such as that they were for irrigation or that they are natural phenomena. But, at this point in time, the age and function of the cart ruts still remains a mystery. Their locations and characteristics simply don't follow a pattern that would help to explain them. What’s certain is that they aren’t natural. Join me on this exploration as I visit one of the most mystifying cart ruts of them all!

That was an amazing explore! It was like we were there with you. 😃 It looks like the cart ruts went off the edge, but now a whole section of the cliff has fractured and fallen away. Creating the crack. You gave us a good view of it. And I noticed the little Maltese cross on your collar. Nice touch. Thanks very much Laura!
I agree baz, it was like being there!! So exciting, I could watch a lot more footage like that for sure! 💖
@@KerriEverlasting I’d like to see more footage of that as well. 😃 Great stuff!
@@barrywalser2384 go read fox's comment... amazing insight!!
@@KerriEverlasting I was just reading it! I always enjoy his comments. 😃
Very interesting to watch this live !
Hi Laura. Nice one.
I can't make a comprehensive sense out of them. None of the theories seems to cover the observable variations. The cart ruts remain one of the unanswered questions of the past of Malta (and elsewhere).
Thanks for watching Ronald! They are quite strange that's for sure!
I’m really looking forward to this one. I may not make the premiere, but I’m going to watch as soon as possible.
No worries Barry! Catch up when you can 😀
@@MegalithHunter 😊
yeah, me too, Barry🙃 just watched it and it is great!
@@floydriebe4755 I agree Floyd! This was really a fun one.
@@barrywalser2384 👍👍🍻
Omg 😲 that made me sweat, I have seen Clapham Junksion cart ruts, they were amazing and a total unexplained mystery, well worth a visit, I only wish they were cleaned of vegetation otherwise it can be a disappointing 😞
In Spring it’s hard to see them cause of the vegetation but in summer they are very obvious.
I loved Malta. A historical treasure recording the crossroads of so many civilisations. The ruts were so mysterious.
It’s a fascinating place. Plus, there are so many lost sites and I’m convinced there will be another hypogeum somewhere, totally intact hiding underground.
I think the ruts was someone exploring after an eruption and the ash and mud makes a great track after hardening. Explains the shallow and deep ruts.
Thank you.
Love your channel.
Thanks for watching!
@@MegalithHunter haaa! See! I'm not the only one who thinks this! Buuuuut... (sigh.) You've been there and I live vicariously through you so eventually you'll show me the exact bit that convinced you of carved and I will think what you do in deference to reality lol
@@KerriEverlasting haha I will I will lol
@@KerriEverlasting So people believe these were carved by years and years of use?
🐇🕳🤫🤔😁
Moses described this type of phenomenon around the crossing of the "Red Sea" in Exodus.
@@happyg.444 oh really? That's an interesting idea! Anything is possible I think that's why we do this to ourselves 💖😂
This was absolutely fascinating - more on this topic, please!
Thank you! Sure!
The ruts weren’t for vehicles.
They make me think of an industrial site.
As if the ruts held pipes or hoses that ran water to power something. In hydraulic machinery there is a feed line of hydraulic fluid that powers the moving part and there is a return line to get the fluid back to the pump.
Next time you go can try to get some super close ups of any striations or tool marks? Also would love a map to show the way the land is in relation?
Sure, will add some google earth maps of the sites and go to some of the ruts that have some additional features I can't quite figure out.
@@MegalithHunter this was reeeeeeally good!!
@@KerriEverlasting thanks Kerri!!
Hey Kerri! This was really a fun explore. Wish I could have been at the premiere. Next time!
yeeeehaaaw, Laura! missed the premiere but, thankfully, there is recourse. thank you, m'lady, for braving the heat and terrain🥵 and, the measurements were a great help to understanding the phenomenon. you have my respect, admiration and gratitude.
actual video of sites is so much better than stills. i like seeing the subject in context with the surrounding area. it's more conducive to forming an idea of the scope of the subject. almost like being there! this gave me a much better grasp of the mystery of these enigmatic ruts. the cliff edge rut site made me think of seismic movement; uplift and/or decline, perhaps. wouldn't be too surprising in the time frame. the land below the cliff is probably covered in soil; perhaps there are continuing ruts beneath?
anyhoo, great, interesting, thought-provoking video🤯🤩 thanks again, kiddo😀
I'm incredibly passionate about megalithic structures and lost technologies, and stumbling upon a women who shares that interest is truly exhilarating. Looking forward to diving deeper into your content and exploring this fascinating subject from your pov.! 🌟
Welcome to my channel ☺️
In Limbordin there's a single Cart Rut or at least very similar that goes straight into a well. This one was used to collect water .
Will take a look. Do you have the GPS location?
I LOVED this video.
-Thank you for taking us there with you. I didn't see those, only heard of them, but, somehow, when I heard of ruts going of the cliff I imagined cliff over the see....
-going there in that heat... 38C...that's what I call dedication. next time don't forget that water bottle and a hat...so you can stay and film longer :)
-you need a drone as well...Christmas is coming....hint hint Laura's husband 😁
-I also loved that little unedited pause at the end, nice touch
-if only somebody could use lidar to reveal all the cart rut locations....
-thank you again, more videos like this please.
Thank you! Haha I really need that drone 100%! Will do some more footage out and about soon.
6:58 btw, there´s usually nothing between ruts that I´ve seen that could be tracks of the animal that pulled the cart but here there sort of is, those squarey plots.
There is a lot to unpack on this one!
First. Laura you need a floppy boonie hat and loose fitting jacket if your going out in that heat. I spent a couple years running around Arabia. In that kind of sun you cover up your skin as much as possible. Keep the cloths very loose for air circulation and above all keep your head covered. A loose wide brim hat.
Ok. From the chat. According to my geo-atlas Malta has a calcarious limestone cap over metamorphic. That sure looks like limestone to me. The spalls, those dish like pockets are typical of eroding limestone.
Calcarious limestone is formed in the sea. Atmospheric CO2 enters the water under the rules of the perfect gas law. PV=nRT. Freshman chemistry. Look it up. Carbon is chemically bound to Calcium, with small amounts of Magnesium acting as a catalyst. This produces calcium carbonate, dissolved in a brine solution. Oxygen is released into solution, again as per the gas law.
Diatoms and other marine organisms adsorb calcium carbonate to make their hard body parts. Along with some silicates from the saturated sea water. This biological process strips metal ions, calcium, sodium, manganese etc leaving excess carbonates in solution. Calcium and sodium bi-carbonates thus form. There participate out as a fine grey-white powder and slowly settle from the water column to the bottom. Simultaneously algae and diatoms die also settling to the bottom. The organics decompose leaving these calcarious elements. Water pressure and geologic process compact this into limestone. Typically it takes millions of years to form and expose limestone above the surface as you see in Malta. Or here on my farm in Tennessee.
Clay is finely pulverized rock. Glaciers grind rocks and produce glacial “milk” which is simply powdered stone in water that is chemically on the verge of a colodial solution. These partials of clay have colors related to the parent stone. They also carry a charge. Thus they clay is self attractive and clumps.
When air dried clay forms a hard rocklike material, essentially like unfired clay pottery. It is hard but also fragile. When exposed to geologic pressure over time it forms slate and shale. It’s easily identified by its flakey laminated or layered nature. If exposed to the sun it hardens. This is how adobe bricks are made. Clay, manure and straw to bind, baked in the sun.
There are wagon tracks along to old Santa Fe and Oregon trails here in America which are over 100 years old. Wagons rolled through sections of the muddy prairie where the clay rich soil and grass material was churned up and rutted. The dry season came with the sun. The adobe process essentially. The result today is a hard, erosion resistant base with the wagon ruts preserved.
In a similar manner Paleolithic foot prints are found. White sands New Mexico is an excellent example. 25,000 years ago children ran in the mud on the edge of a shallow lake. Mud and grass was compacted under foot. The depressions filled in with silt. Suspended clay. The grass under foot was the binder. Thus act”plug” of natural adobe was formed, shaped to the foot. History with Kayleigh did a video on this. Over time as the lake dried up the footprints baked in the sun. Today you will see a loose sand sub straight with solid foot prints extending above the surface. These are essentially negative casts of the original foot. The wind blows the surface sand away to expose the foot prints. Then covers it again.
All the above to explain how some types of stone are made. Each is different and identifiable to a geologist. I’m not a geologist. To the casual observer line stone, sandstone, and clay based accretions appear identical. Yet sand stone and lime stone are quite different and form over millions of years. While the clay accretions may become stone like literally in a few weeks, further curing over many years.
Now. There is a mine in the hills of Mexico that has deep ruts from the mine to the tailings. Set forever in the adobe like soil. The region is very dry and very hot. Ore from the mine was hauled out in ox carts. The ore had a lot of water in it. The carts literally gushed water and the cart path was a mud track. This soon solidified in the sun. Once set adobe is essentially water proof. This suited the miners. Once in the ruts the ox made the half mile trip from mine to sluice box unattended. Once the cat was dumped and turned around the ox returned alone to the mine. Quite a savings of labor. The mine operated for several years in the late 1700’s and is now abandoned. Only the tailings, ruts and shaft remain. It was briefly a mystery like the malts ruts.
I’m quite sure that the Malta ruts were not formed when wet like the wagon ruts or mine cart ruts just described.
Next Laura provided some very good close up video of, and into a rut!
Industrially, a grove is cut by two methods. With a rotating bit cutting a path the width of the tool, and with a broach. A broach is a tool drug through the material to be cut. Obviously the broach must be harder than the material it cuts. When a field is plowed, or ice cream is scooped out of a tub, or threads cut into a screw by a die…your broaching. Both broaching and milling leave tell-tale marks that tell you which method was used. I see neither in those pictures. Even allowing for extensive weathering. There is one section that is extremely sharp and square at the top with very clean vertical sides and bottom. Other segments are quite weathered and rounded which would have obscured those marks. Just sold my machine tool business of 20 years. I know how to cut such groves and the resultant tool marks.
In my younger days I traveled. I’ve spent a lot of time in the rough country. Glaciers pick up rocks and drag them for miles over bedrock. Natures broach. Hard stones will cut groves over soft bedrock. I’ve seen that in glacial valleys in Alaska. In upper Michigan. Colorado. Even in an exposed section of bedrock in Central Park in new your city. The glacier even stopped and melted leaving its bolder sitting right at the end of the grove it cut. I think I’ve seen a video on this one. I actually sat on the rock. Before a cop ran me off. It’s a minor tourist thing there. Don’t touch the rock! Bad fox!
I have never seen a glacier cut a square uniform grove. Not even a couple feet. Nor a parallel set that remain uniform within a few centimeters. Glacial tracks are erratic are seldom uniform and always quite “gnawed” looking, even when mildly weathered.
So. I have to conclude that somebody made them for some purpose. I have no clue what. Except I think back to that mine with the unattended ox pulling his cart…….
But there are no tool marks. Not from little copper chisels. Not an inconel stone mill. Not from some tungston-carbide broach tool. The only way I know to cut such tracks, leaving no marks, is with an industrial abrasive water jet. I’ve seen them cut concrete, steel, even granite like a hot knife through butter. That’s how they cut and polish tombstones and marble counter tops to a gloss polish and crisp and square. Cuts stone much better than an industrial laser. Lasers don’t like shiny surfaces. Carbide abrasives in high velocity water don’t care about shiny. The cut where you point them. The only tell tale they leave is shallow scoop shaped depressions IF the operator is clumsy.
So in the end I don’t know. I’ve run all this out so maybe one of YOU will have an idea. We all know “they” did not have industrial grade equipment back in the day. Whenever that actually was.
And IF they had the technology to make a water jet, then WHY cut those ruts. Presuming that the ruts were some sort of poor man’s cart “rail road”. If you had the technology to cut them as I suggest, you’d have the technology to simply make steel rails. That’s what most of the mine carts on after the 1700’s. Mine cart tracks. Little iron rails.
The more you know the less you know. At least I may have eliminated a few ideas that just won’t work. But nothing that fits into what “we know”. So it must be something we don’t know. So. Now we all chip in. Buy Laura a good sun hat, and a small trowel so she can get more closeups and scrape the sod out of those tracks. Some where down in one of those will be some marks that will tip somebody off. Maybe.
Fox……out.
Fox... wow. Word porn. Lol
First - absolutely agree about the wide brimmed sun hat and long loose clothing. I lived in tropical weather for many years. We would wet then freeze a tea-towel in a U shape, then wear the frozen towel around the back of our neck to cool quickly.
Next: that is the most concise, relevant and comprehensive explanation of clay I've ever read.
Then - you led me down the cart ruts path towards imprints, then broke my heart! I was championing this explanation!
Then... I was certain you were for the carved theory.
But you aren't.
A fantastic read, as gripping and appreciated as the video itself.
One last thought... you two ever had a conversation? I'd watch that... it would be amazing to see you discuss! ❤️
@@KerriEverlasting
Kerri, dear heart! How are the wilds of Australia? As I recall your way out back. Hope I’m not wrong.
Porn? No. Porn is an attempt to titillate, and in so doing make a spectator sport out of “participants only” activity. Porn is basically asses and elbows in perpetual random motion.
No comment of mine on CZcams has ever been called titillating. Long winded? Yes. Verbose? Often. But I am not simply delivering “my opinion”. Karl Jung defined opinion as the lowest form of human intelligence, being ego based and ignoring fact. He defined empathy as the highest form, seeking to see the position of the other. I seek empathy but fall short. Being essentially a profane old sailor. But I do often land on the “informed opinion” square of our board game of life.
I always heed the host. To date she has not told me “cool it”. Her hand is on the tiller. Others occasionally disagree with me. That’s what makes a good horse race. And if I prattle on too long…….I say just don’t read it!
I appreciate your comment. Mine was intended to inform, where I’m quite sure I know what I’m talking about, and to challenge you to think, where I simply say “I don’t know”.
Well that’s that. Let’s see what comes next. I kick myself for not having gone to see the ruts when I visited Malta. My only excuse is the I was focused upon food-not-cooked on the ship and “spiritual” activities.
Fox…..adieu.
@@vulpesvulpes5177 agree that it's definitely not from glaciers, it's way too regular for that. Erosion is normal and cliffs break, especially in something as soft (and soluble) as limestone. I watched something on TV last night (US Discovery Channel) Josh Gates reporting on the area the Etruscans lived (and still do) and they were showing Etruscan road cuts through mountains - and very similar looking cart ruts. If these are the same and assuming they are from a similar time they are pre-Roman Empire but from long past last Ice Age.
@@vulpesvulpes5177 well. I won't be surprised to find I'm doing it wrong, I usually am... but your comment was sexy af actually. Titillating? No. Asses and elbows? Never so mundane.
Intelligence is attractive, and your writing holds my interest in a way that bobble head asses and elbows never could.
You make the ninny net better with your presence. 💖
I love a nickname vulpes vulpes. Because in Czech (and thus presumably some other Slavic languages except for Russian), we call dog a "pes". So, the fox is a wolfdog wolfdog in Latin. Or, neither of the two - something in between. 🤠
Your take is fascinating - I was alternating between almost quitting reading it as it was too detailed and long and liking the sober conclusions at the same time. I think I'm gonna travel to Sardinia next spring or fall. I want to czech out some details for myself (I wrote my thinking in one comment above here somewhere). I don't believe in irrigation, nonsense to cut the groove twice, and I can neither imagine that once one set of ruts becomes too deep for traveling, you make an alternate set by criss-crossing it, while the original is two feet deep. No way.
By the way, where in Tennessee is your farm? I stayed almost a year in Asher, KY (Close to Hyden, Osborne Bros home) some twenty years ago. Also, Sam Jackson, who used to run the Sunday radio show at the Station Inn at Nashville, let me stay for three weeks at his granny's cottage about 25miles off Nashville. Nice times!
We haven't found it yet. Still, the width of a horse's butt, our roads, our trains. Back to prehistoric time.
If it is 29" deep that means the wheel would have been at least 58" tall. That of course doesn't account for the thickness of an axle if it were mounted to a solid side to side axle. That would be a pretty big wheel. Not gargantuan but still, it's a data point.
They used to have such big wheels in the past for exactly this reason - the roads were wild.
Would it be possible (with a lot of work...) to draw a map of a particular set of tracks together with the local contours of a dry river valley to see if they appear to correlate in any way?
Excellent idea! There is some Inmarsat data at NOAA.gov that has better resolution than google earth. You can see quite a few of the tracks and of course all the washes. Just looking I don’t see any startling patterns. But if somebody did a military style track vector analysis something might pop up. That’s a lot of work. Maybe if we tell the army Laura has a tank hidden there they might……. No. Probably not.
Yes. I have marked all the ones I’ve visited on google earth. Plus ones know to have been preserved and covered during construction and others which were destroyed long ago. So I guess if we look at those in correlation to the landscape it might be possible. I need to work on this a bit though.
If you go to a place where the seashore has been eroding - Nantucket island in Massachusetts, in my case - it can be difficult to imagine the landscape when the shore went out, seemingly over the water. I suspect that there's been a lot of erosion at those cliffs, and that the ruts would have turned or just ended well before the edge at that time. The article I read said that the bedrock is very soft sandstone, so it would have been crumbling away even in the short term.
these tracks would also be usefull to lead ropes / cables through, and levers like wooden poles, to fit under stone blocks.
I believe a great portion of those “ruts” were made when that ground material was soft.
Bekh-Ivanov Dmitri has written extensively on 'New Geology' site. He conjectures a 'marshy' period. He also ruminates on some kind of cataclysmic event uplifting and 'splashing' soft limestone over landmasses. However to account for the Azores 'ruts' the event would have to be really huge, perhaps in a Velikovskian sense? In thinking about it, one is reminded of ''the fountains of the great deep burst open''. However, anything 'explaining' 'cart ruts' is still an enigma, since there would not be hordes of people fleeing over the newly thrown up soft limestone from the Azores to Turkey...fleeing not on foot but on sledges. That makes no sense. The people who discuss the powers of electrical discharges on 'The Electric Universe' pages might wonder if the 'ruts' could be caused in some way by unprecedented freak lightning.
Not an expert at all, but these look like early watering systems to me. Maybe they had a need to get fresh water and this was easier than lugging it down the hill.
Various papers have been done on this and there are quite a lot of arguments against it. I ran through some in my last video on the ruts. But will do some more work on this.
@@MegalithHunter it's always about the food, the mining or the dying lol
Oh yeah, I keep saying, one rut for cold water and the other for hot one??? 🤭 It's funny how we folk from cities in 21st century try to figure out irrigation in the deep past.
At 6:57 etc, whatever it is, does not look to have a 'walking' pattern, does it? Suppose the vehicle had a pumping motion of movement?
They had to dump the skips somewhere. The dead-end roads leading to the cliffs for dumping the skips or perhaps rock spoilage from the Roman mines. What's at the bottom of these cliffs? We need an underwater expedition to tell us where the roads going undersea lead! The roads had to have been carved manually. Especially where the 'track switches' occur. Some wishing to veer off on another track would have to wait for the cut between tracks to wear through or would have to bump their carts from one straight track into another without a nice smooth 'spur line'. And they would have to have used draft animals to pull the carts, evidence of which your roads seem to clearly show in wear to the road centers. Your argument about the varying dimensions doesn't allow for sloppy transport and wear by carts which didn't follow one another in razor close lock step. Each passing heavy cart would have worn each track laterally as it bumped along, they weren't defective. People making a living can't afford to use defective carts.
I made up a story about these that the people built cities attached to the face of the cliff. People road right into the building.
Did they make a titer toter with rocks tied to each end to make the dual ruts?
Fascinating but a head mincer
To me they were moving water or sewage. Probably they had clay pipes or wood pipes in those ruts.
Ok so the view at 4:06 - in the distance the hills look terraced? What is that? Am I imagining it?
At 4:26 there seems to be a visible bend in the grooves? Like a wobble? What is that in real life? Anything or it just looks like something from the video?
This is truly the best please do more of these! Autumn is coming! 😍
Ps - what if the hills were once joined, either separated by earthquake or by erosion of the land by the small (or now non existing) waterway that cut the valley below? How old is the valley? Did the water come first or later?
So many questions... 😂
What about volcanoes nearby? Any that could influence the situation in any way? We are assuming the climate was warmer rather than cooler?
Oh wait. Even if the land was joined, it still doesn't tell us what they were for... I think its past my bedtime since I accidentally fell down this rabbit hole again...
Have you been to the cartruts on the Azores ? There is quiet a distance between the isles and the people who did them must have had good boats. The ground must have been softer or wagon load heavy. Was it ancient cement powder on the wagons that spread in the wind? Got claylike in the rain and tracks got hard? If the carts had wheels, they would be very big to not get stuck on the axle if the cart had one. Maybe the cart had wheels on one side and a canoe 🛶 like support beam on the other side? Is there quaries to make ancient cement at the location ?
No I haven’t visited them but they are startlingly similar.
Maybe something with one wheel like a wheelbarrow?
what about people making and tracking the ruts with sticks over the years as a =ritual.... like wives on one track and husbands on the other track. Or if they can be seen from the temples, people pouring water or blood on these tracks (which helps making them)...
When a volcano erupts, ash is released. This ash is the same as cement, mud and cement makes concrete. Etna is the closest volcano, 200 km away, so this is not strange that there are cart tracks. When a volcano erupts, it is logical that people flee with their carts fully loaded and those tracks are very logical
Big takeaway; your husband bought you a measuring stick for your birthday🎂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Have you looked at LIDAR scans of your area? It would seem that parallel lines would stand out on a LIDAR scan.
Not sure how to do thah
@@MegalithHunter Here I would download a USGS map from their database and load it up in something like QGIS. I'm still a real amateur with all of that. I took a peek and I think that somebody has done some lidar imaging of Malta.
Overgrown ruts ??
How to turn bare rock into agriculture areas, irrigated by rainwater.
👣🕊👽
🛣️✨How about this: carved pathways going toward community sites, not necessarily the temples. The confusing maze of cracks out there, this could be quite handy for the pedestrian population crossing the plain. Question: are those post holes off to the side of the track/trails?
Interesting suggestion. Quite possible. No they are not post holes, just natural erosion.
Check out the cart ruts in Sardinia! Look to be the same as at Malta. Was Sardinia a satellite culture of Malta in prehistoric times?
I’ve visited them. Included in my Sardinia videos. The cultures weren’t connected.
@@MegalithHunter Why weren't they connected? A dating discrepancy? At least the cart ruts must tell a tale about similar ruts on Malta. And the hypogea and the possible fertility cult aspect seem very familiar. Not to mention the mining culture.
The histories on line about Sardinia seem to also relate a connection with Mycenae and the Italian peninsula, including the megalithic walls. Independently arrived at on Sardinia then? Thanks!
unlikely to be carved, unlikely to be worn tracks like you see from tractor wheels on a farm because they would not overlap. maybe gouged out in a single movement which implies they were formed in soft mud, and then hardened over time. In between the ruts there seem to be regular footprints or animal footprints. people escaping a cataclysm, tsunami or volcanic mud eruption perhaps. maybe look at the depressions between the ruts for clues. implication then would be that these are unimaginably old or the rocks are dated incorrectly. if they were formed from moving heavy quarried blocks grinding over time then where are the blocks? sea levels rose 400 feet 10,000 years ago. is there a construction under the local coastline? you got some scuba gear?
Someone needs to build a cart with wood wheels and one with metal wheels at the sizes of the tracks and start rolling over the stone.
How long with it take? Wood will be the less likely to make the impressions. Metal, maybe. carts in mud? Most likely!
Imagine, a cart with a hamster wheel like drive with gears that has a bull as power as a lead cart, pulling multiple carts like a train made to go through the mud.
From what I've gathered from coverage of these grooves....
Whatever they are... they are not even close to being cart ruts.
Maybe they pulled some kind of travois per the North American plains tribes.
But that is super doubtful.
Whatever it was... it sure as gravity isn't carts.
It was something....
but the reflex to call them cart ruts blinds the mind to the fact they pretty obviously are no such thing.
Or so it seems to me.
Absolutely NOBODY, who actually owned an ancient cart, would be stupid enough to keep running their carts in these deep grooves. They will be something...but cart ruts will not be it.
Your absolutely right. Naming them “cart rut” does close the mind to other ideas.
@@vulpesvulpes5177 I think they might be drainage for a gravel or pebble-stone or soil road.... road engineering traces... not cart tracks worn into the ground. It would make sense for a drainage groove to head over the edge of a cliff...even if it made no sense to drive a cart over the edge.
@@eecarolinee
That’s a new idea!
The ruts were made along the cliff edge so that wealthy tourists visiting the island could enjoy their sightseeing while being dragged around by twenty slaves pulling poorly-designed hay wagons. As for the ruts going over the edge of the cliff, well, now you know why...
😂😂😂
I knew it. You work for Umbrella Corporation.🤣
I had to Google that LOL
@@MegalithHunter I thought they just hunted zombies. Who knew?😉
the cart ruts are sled ruts, they run of cliffs formed around 15.000 years ago. rock can't be dated but the ruts running of a cliff formed 15.000 years ago prove they are in fact stone age ruts made before that time. the modern ruts can be identified by the fact that they are made by vehicles running on tracks like bulldozers. no permanent settlements can be found because they are destroyed and reused by the seafaring settlers and local peasants. They hide megaliths and temples raising beds over them to not lose quarry rights to UNESCO.
