Ghar il Kbir Cave Clapham Juntion Curt Ruts Siggiewi Malta

Join me and Tristan explore Misrah Ghar il-Kbir (informally known as Clapham Junction) is a prehistoric site in Siġġiewi, in the south of the Island of Malta, near the Dingli Cliffs. It is best known for its "cart ruts", a complex network of tracks carved in the rock. The age and purpose of the tracks is uncertain. In general, most archaeologists presume that the site developed about 2000 BC after new settlers came over from Sicily, starting the Bronze Age in Malta.
It is reported that the "Clapham Junction" nickname was given by an Englishman, who later reported that it reminded him of the busy railway station Clapham Junction in London.
Hope you enjoy and Subscribe.

Pierre that was quite fascinating vlog.It s a shame that the government has not looked after this piece of heritage .The cart ruts and the caves are important part of the Maltese islands history as much as as Hagar Qim and other Neolithic places in my opinion and they should be preserved for future generations and for everyone to enjoy and learn our heritage.Thank you and Tristan for taking us around these interesting places.sahha u Grazzi

Those aren't small caves - those are Punic rock cut tombs

You mean all the complex or referring to a particular area
