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

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! #ancienthistory #cartruts #lostcivilizations #malta ✨ PREVIOUS CART RUT VIDEO Could Cart Ruts Have Been Carved By A Lost Civilisation?    • Could 'CART RUTS' Have Been Carved By A LO...   ✨ JOIN MY CHANNEL    / @megalithhunter   ✨ MUSIC CREDIT Music I Use: https://www.bensound.com/free-music-f...
