고대 빙하기때는 지구가 얼음으로 꽁꽁 얼어 있엇고,해빙이 되면서 거대한 빙하가 흘러 자국이 남겨진 곳이 있어요.빙하는 집채만한 바위도 옮겨 버리지요. 여기도 빙하시대 빙하가 흐른 자국이 아닐까 추측해 봅니다.

[@davidlancaster8152]

Fascinating! Had no idea there were cart tracks in the UK. Great footage. Enjoy the caves as well. Another job well done! Thanks Hugh and crew. Lvya all much.

[@MegalithomaniaUK]

These are in Malta, not the UK.

Is it possible that the ground was soft at the time they were made and the high heat catastrophic event petrified the surface into hard rock , who knows but it’s all mind blowing, great instalment Hugh thanks 🙏 for the work you put in to bring us this content.

No

Yeah, this is the most satisfactory explanation, there are also traces of wagon or cart wheels around the University of Malta. I found also a metallic component, (might me copper or bronze) embedded in the cart ruts surface.

[@adriancarter825]

@@EridanuS86 there must of been a high heat event that solidified all this .

Hugh Newman, Thank you. Have fun today wherever you are!

[@MrBrianms]

The plants are numerous in the ruts on the plane of arid limestone. The microclimate within the shelter of the rut must reduce evaporation around the plants. Useful for vegetable growing in a desert of limestone. I was noticing what it is doing in the video.

G'day Hugh. Best cart rut video i've seen. Thanks for the high altitude shots to show the area they're in and their surroundings too. Very curious things they are...

[@Original50]

Wooden sledges, transporting whatever is in that nearby quarry, wore-away established 'lanes' as the work-face changed.

[@redtobertshateshandles]

Limestone.

[@saschaesken5524]

It is the lightly acidic rain that washes out these former traces downhill over many many thousands of years.

[@scottzema3103]

I think that Malta was a major religious center from ancient times inhabiting the top of a mountain, now an island. The surrounding Neolithic landscape was drowned about twelve thousand years ago by glacial melt, cutting off its connection to southern Sicily and leaving the 'temple acropolis' with all its roads only intact to mark a significantly larger ancient settlement and now drowned support landscape.

[@adriancarter825]

The glacial rapid melt was caused by a high heat event that put the human race back years , I believe the so called cave man period was a restart not early human existence we had to start again a lot was lost ,

[@robertevans8126]

yes, ancient Malta is/was a fascinating place, my Wife's parents came from there, and we visited it some 9 years ago, but we missed seeing the ET child that was found in the Hypogeum.

Wall painting. 'Squatter man'. At 08:05, a shoe print. Are there Stride marks? Were men pulling sleds? Before the wheel. What was on the sleds? From where to where for what purpose?

[@nicko500s]

lt must have been powerful to overcome the resistance from the mud? Are the tracks always in pairs? are the tracks that appear in pairs the same distance apart? if so is this consistent along the length of track. Is each rut the same width in each pair? Do the tracks ever split and go different directions? How does each track start & how do they finish? this would be great to see if possible to find an end and then find the other. One track goes off a cliff, what might be the erosion rate of that cliff be l wonder, how many years ago would there have been more fields out there? What age is the limestone? This hurts my brain when l look at this tbh, because it brings up so many unanswerable questions. l spent a few hours watching videos on this and l cant think of anything it could be. From what l saw before the tracks and ruts were not consistent but its hard to say. Fascinating! thank you.

[@MrPingudm]

The tracks are always parallel.. this means that they used some kind of vehicle with wheels.

[@stefanmonark466]

you look great man.

[@lutefisklimeade6278]

From the air it looks like the mud tracks 4 wheelers and other recreational vehicles leave.

[@Stonecutter334]

Seeing this site from above was quite interesting. To me this looks like a work site. Whoever did seems to be working this rock somehow. As it’s so old we have no way of really knowing what this site looked like back in the past whenever the work stopped however to me it doesn’t look like it was overly planned. They were simply working the area for whatever reason. We don’t see any melted rock or scoop marks. It looks like they pushed or drove around this site removing whatever they needed. Possibly dragging a machine that was removing rock as it passed over it. It also looks adjustable for depth and width. I also doubt the people doing this lived in caves. If they had we’d probably see some evidence of whatever this technology was in those caves. Especially bringing in and taking out water. Who knows!! Great stuff as always.

[@Jasmijn25]

Bit late to the party but i have been reading into Malta for the past months because we want to go there. And this pops up. I have been reading the old books and in one of them I read that because of shortage of water in Valetta (where all the people lived) they were gathering the water from all over Malta through pumping, aquaducts and through digging under the stone layer making tunnels. Since the 1500s! Malta was well known to grow oranges in that period. Those do not need a thick layer of soil. So if you combine those 2 I can see the use for those for both of these things. Dingli was mentioned as one of those places to hold natural water. That is near this place. To this day if you go right you will find the Bakkja, Ta-Kandja, l-Andrijet to the left. So all of them are on that side of the island. I suspect a combination of irrigation & water flows. I am more curious what that quarry is about.

[@thesquatterman5939]

[@ZiggyDan]

Soft 'mud' flash dried. Great stuff.

[@VisorView]

Unless the tracks are all in matched parallel pairs, and never converge, then they cannot be cart tracks. If they end at cliffs then it's possible that they relate to some kind of quarrying/lifting/dragging of quarried stone.

[@JohnnyRedpilled]

Is there a height difference in the floor of the cart ruts when they cross each other? For instance, say they were hoses laid in the cart ruts. Would the hoses be laying on top of each other would one be under the other? Where they cross each other is one cart read deeper than the other? I’ve used a lot of hydraulic driven equipment and there is a hose or a line feeding the moving part and there’s a return line that takes the hydraulic fluid back to the reservoir so you don’t lose it. That’s what these cart ruts remind me of.

[@StephanieSmith-qh8kr]

I'm attracted to cart ruts ❤❤❤

[@jimmime]

Thank you, Hugh. If only we could know the true history of the world we live in. There have been so many resets, I don't think that will ever happen, keep searching for the truth.

[@chrisw7402]

The cart ruts could have served 2 purposes, the ruts could have protected topsoil from being blown away that could be put there for irrigation, and when it rained, the water would flow through the ruts to provide water. You'd need a lot of ruts to prevent water gushing through and eroding the topsoil.

[@shermanatorosborn9688]

they seem to have been layed down artistically , like holographic Nazca Lines

[@toddwyndham7009]

Very intriguing!! And I’ve seen in one particular spot in the Azores Islands almost identical cart ruts with similarities in depths and patterns.

[@uf3y]

Ancient mudhole where Peoples with mudding trucks and vehicles played around. I would agree it's millions of years old.

[@toddincabo]

[@fennynough6962]

To random to be erosion. To hard of rock to be grooved by rain. My guess is it's a Quarry, judging by all the same size rocks, (in the homestead & neighboring walls). Place a plow in rut, & pull forward by oxen, ruts, would keep; "(wheel plow)"; in place as it grinds away workable boulders.

[@Jody-zb5jy]

Will this be a spot thats visited during your Malta tours?

[@shawngoldsberry747]

[@judithgockel1001]

Might these be travois marks? The width and the locations seem to suggest this; given some of the slopes shown.

[@nancyvolker3342]

I remember going with my family when I was a kid there are tracks in the southwest so called wagon wheel tracks they are on a small hill I think for water originally at the bottom of that hill is a parking lot and souvenir guest shop I wonder what is under that mess

[@SacredMatrix888]

And....totally unknow spot on Malta... Thank you so much!! Ps. There are stories of some beings living in labirynths of Hypogeum, very pale human like.

[@PhilipBody]

Unfortunately they are building a hotel on the site of the ruts now. And an underground car park next to the Roman baths

[@hankscorpio8928]

Compared to the cart ruts on Malta these look like the ground was soft there and over 1000 years of usage created them.

[@doomoo5365]

I've heard someone say they go off underneath the water and did you say some of them go off the edge of cliffs? I'd like to see more on that and if they go underneath the water can they follow them to some unknown place?

[@S-T-E-V-E]

I think the idea that they channeled rainwater makes the most sense! The caves look like a really nice place to live, there were smoke marks on the ceiling, I bet it was pretty cosy!

[@WilliamCooper-l6f]

The problem I encounter with archaeologists, whether professional or amateur, is their inability to quit looking at the landscape and thinking it has always been this way. This, "it's always been this way," flawed thinking really messes up good scientific speculation. Okay, looking at your drone view, you can clearly tell what these so called cart ruts are from. Notice the inconsistency of their spacing between each other. If they were cart ruts, the ruts would run parallel to each other with no expansion or contraction, these ruts do expand and contract. At the far left, many ruts bunch up together, which means it's a rally point. The stone is too hard for carts to cut ruts into it, so we also know that on the day the ruts were made, the surface was malleable. The trees present appear to be ceder; a highly prized wood in ancient times. In the Biblical record of both king David and Solomon, that the acquisition of ceder wood was a huge industry, with one nation completely dedicated to lumbering it. Thus, Clapham Junction is an abandoned ancient logging camp. The hypogeum would have made a perfect expedient base camp or work camp. The ruts were made when the trees were drug away.

[@mikiesnaxx4604]

Those r not “cart ruts” but what they really were used for we may never know

[@bobdown590]

Note-The stick men look so similar to the Australian Aboriginal drawings and in Europe.

[@michaelpether1331]

May I suggest that all analysis should start by observing that almost all the 'channels/ ruts/ grooves/ indentations' that are evident comprise two ( almost always) equdistant 'channels/ruts/ grooves/ indentations'? This would tend to lessen the 'water channel' hypothesis and increase the probability that something was moving across an area of soft material. There must be some pattern - not artistic or mathmatical, but simply as a means to try and understand what activity might have been occurring.Has such a diagram ever been undertaken - with drones or Google Earth it would seem feasible.

[@scottzema3103]

Wear marks in the stone came from repeat carted traffic in ancient times. Nothing unusual like a comet or something maybe. You can see the same stone cart wheel wear thing on Roman roads in Pompeii and even on the plains of the American West showing wagon train trails. Stone is softer than people think. That there is so many reveals the huge importance of Malta, maybe even as a major regional center for the Neolithic culture in all of Southern Europe for millenia or even tens of millenia! What's more, the apparent importance of the whole site and BTW the neighboring island to the north called Gozo is another acropolis of even more spiritual importance then on Malta proper, with both islands essentially connected.

[@ThatLadyBird]

Its natural, see how they all run gradually down slope? Water will find its way. Its also likely that ancient people altered some of them to direct the flow to where they wanted it like a collection pool. You see quite a few "navajo swimming pools" out in red rocks country here in the US where ancient americans did the same thing to similar water channel features.

[@manfrommaine]

There are intersecting ruts that form a stone square. If water were running down a pre-cut channel it would not turn 90 degrees. If the pre-cut channel were already there (turning 90 degrees) then the water would simply take the path of least resistance. No way is this the result of natural water run-off.

Could it have rained acidic rain 🌧️ as might have soften the stone? Could the plains be of ancient cement, was it a cement factory? Why have the cart tracks no signs of animals or humans? Why has the cave advanced cutting , but the cave is simple? I think 🤔 there was two civilisations one simple workers and one advanced! …

[@adamrawn2063]

Newearth had an image in one of her videos of a 'cart' rut going UNDER a cut overhang (solid rock). My pet theory: the pairs of 'nubs' on blocks and the pairs of channels were connected. They were filled with a conductive metal in very ancient times (long since totally oxiidzed) with a positive and a negative, to conduct impulses. To expand: on simple level, cords and outlets. On a higher level: an HDMI cable for plugging into a geocomputer where you could store massive data, like uploaded ancestors consciousness, AI oracle gods ,etc.
