Synopsis

Of the many fascinating problems posed by the prehistory of Malta, three are outstanding, namely: the origins of the temples, their end, and the cart-ruts. Sensible guesses can be made regarding the first two; the third still baffles. Indeed, cart-ruts have aroused considerable interest and controversy since at least the seventeenth century, from such as Abela (1647), Houel (1787), Boisgelin (1805), and with increasing frequency through the course of the twentieth century. Definitive solutions seem as far off as ever. In this book, the author discusses the theories on how these sites came to be and also describes some of the major sites in Malta where cart-ruts are found.
