Summary Report:
The cart ruts in Malta are a complex network of tracks carved in the rock, more precisely, they are are parallel abrasions in the limestone, dating from prehistoric times in the history of Malta.
There is an abundance of different tracks. They have widths between 65 and 123 centimeters and the grooves sometimes go to a depth of over 70 centimeters! Their course can be followed in the vegetation-poor highlands of Malta in 150 places, sometimes over hundreds of meters and many of these tracks converge and cross in an area on the island that is best known as Clapham Junction. Other Tracks end abruptly at drop-offs on high cliffs or lead directly into the deep waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
The background of their formation is unclear and still heavily disputed among scientists and researchers. Nevertheless, there are some theories that try to explain the phenomenon but so far, all those theories have been proven wrong.
In the book “Der Mittelmeerraum und seine mysteriöse Vorzeit”, Erich von Däniken writes the following about the “cart ruts” on Malta: “… There are many speculations regarding this Malta Mystery. Was it cart tracks, runners from sleds? Traces of ball bearings? Did the natives of Malta deposit their loads on some kind of “branch fork” and dragged them across the terrain by draft animals? Cant be. The branch fork was rigid, it did not change the width of the scrape marks. In addition, the tracks of the animals that pulled the heavy loads would have to be detectable in the limestone rock. But they are not. Or – as the researcher Andre Schubert suggests – are the “tracks” in reality traces of quite banal vehicles, which drove their routes only once, but on a soft underground at that time? What has not already been discussed! The “tracks” were a cult … a calendar … a system of lines … a writing, etc. One drowns in clever and also logical explanations, and nevertheless a final answer, beyond any doubt, is missing. I consider the Malta “tracks” a classic case of archaeological wrong thinking and i also want to say right away why no explanations can work out: Malta must never be considered in isolation. Whatever this unknown culture may have been thousands of years ago, it was – as one must realize today – transnational. And the time frame in which the inconceivable haunting arose is not 2000 to 3000 years before Christ, but a good 10 000 years ore more. Today we know nothing about that time and there are no archaeologists at any university who deal with it…”.
The “cart ruts” on malta are still an unsovled mystery and it should challenge everyone s mind. How, when and for what purpose were the tracks made? Why do some of them end up in the Mediterranean Sea or end up at drop-offs on high cliffs? Are the “cart ruts” connected to other mysteries on the island of Malta, like the megalithic temple complex “Ggantija” or the mysterious Hypogeum of Hal Saflieni?
