My grandparents told me there used to be some families living in those caves with their farm animals until the forties! They didn't want to change their ways and they didn't leave until they were forcefully evicted.
Nice place there. I think when the windy maybe can stay in cave or the weather so cool...be good...lol. Really can know some your words but i like when you speak "Ok Englishman in Malta take care bye " Thank u Steve.:-D
We did visit the Buskett Gardens when we lived in Malta, but didn't get too far as we went by bus and so were on foot, so didn't come across the caves. Your video was very impressive, Steve, the information that you gave was so interesting, the area should be made part of the World Heritage and preserved for future generations. Thanks again.
Malta has a lot of hidden treasures. Under Valletta are still a Warren of caves and tunnels still unopened to the public, under ground train tunnels war shelters etc..it is said...that under Valletta city is the oldest Prehistoric Temple in the world and in the 1700's the temples of st john build on top of it and have hidden untold treasures......The other cave i enjoyed the best .Għar Ħasan Cave, it lies within the cliff-bound coastline.With breathtaking sea views..I make a video so months back...hoping to start going round the old forts next week ...weather permitting...:-)
These caves are incredibly impressive. Well preserved for being over 5,000 years old. I thought they had caricature, I loved them. As for the cart ruts, we are still scratching our heads as to How..What..When.. I think why they shoot out on the edge of a cliffs is, that the cliffs had given way and sunk into the sea and left the ruts hanging out ??? Or maybe the cart ruts went from Malta to Sicily when they were joined. I wonder if they ever found ruts at the tip of Sicily. I would imagine there would be large areas of land under the sea when it was split apart. Anyway, sorry Steve for going on. As always your walks and history are fantastic. Cheers 😊
Nice video Steve! On my last visit....last month...October... i went to Buskett and walked all round it...it was a nice day out....walked all along that road you drove down too....i ended up walking from Verdala Palace back to Rabat....it was a lovely, warm day....a great day out!! Will have to try and find them caves next time....have heard about the cart ruts too but not managed to get to them yet!! I went to Ghar Dalam cave too! xx
Hazel B ......sounds great, buskett is a real gem for Malta the caves are only ten mins walk it's a really nice places I love caves so much history, the last video of the fort it's a bit run down but great vibes ...
I've just stumbled on this video. I've been there a few times, too. Just beyond the cave complex there are some Roman Quarries.... very shallow, but impressive. There are also 2 punic tombs dug into the rock.
GO Rabat, drive though busskett and you will see signs to cart ruts the caves are just beyond there, you will find then on a good Maltese map...happy hunting !!
for more info on Ghar il-Kbir click on the following link. www.schoolnet.gov.mt/history/wirt/MedjuEvu/GharKbir/GharKbirBuhagiar.htm Once I was told by a guide that the roof was removed (blown) by the colonial government of the time to dissuade people from returning back to the cave to live
Cart tracks? I think they are more like furrows thinking that food would have been rare. So they might have poured dirt in to them and tried to grow plants that they could harvest, and SURVIVE.!!;-)
Yes produce like strawberries /sald / herbs , etc. Also maybe a water drainage system to make the most of the rain water , any little water could not be wasted . The inhabitants made the most and adapted to what they had on offer. Very much as it is today in Malta.
I found your cart rut video☺ I love those caves it would be great to have a time machine. UFO landing tracks would be exciting but it's probably something like old water erosion from a time when there was torrential rain. Maybe when a meteor hit the earth then perhaps it was covered up for centuries. Or maybe it was when Santa used to have his home in Malta before he relocated to the North Pole and they are his sleigh tracks. 🎅
That would be cool! There are many the same all over malta can not be water if you see you would understand ..They are perfect guts the same distance apart for a long way and so just disappear off the cliffs
I had to laugh...my husband kept telling me the same thing before our trip to Malta. "Malta's a big rock. There's no dirt there!" I told him I wasn't going there to look at dirt, lol.
The English came in and forced them to pay taxes and when they moved them out. They came back to find them still there defying the tax order. So they blew up the cave in 1835 I believe. Good old English rule.
I've been to these caves many times. The people they found in the caves spoke a dialect of maltese that no one has ever heard before as well. Very interesting stuff here. Miniature elephants were also found (only ones found ever in the world)
Watched anther video from English tourist he was a engineer and thought they were drainage and water collection channels They would be quite easy to cut with a oxen and two pronged plough set at 1.4 meters two prongs would make control better and in wet weather the limestone would be quite soft
I think the "cart ruts" where formed when Malta was attached to Africa and the earth was just forming. They look like there was different layers of rock, some softer than others and over the millennia they got washed away. Just my humble opinion of course.
Is that stone or was it originally ash?? Those tracks look too wide and set edges to be from cart use.. Possibly stone pulling ruts via quarrying. No wheels have ever been found. Just saying. Great explore , thank you
I am from hotel and I raced in there I am in America now if you go go Musta there’s lots of history in there and there is a Palace Ana IRA when the soldiers in World War II there’s a airport and that’s where the cars and they’re not far from there do you know there’s a graveyard in there if you found the graveyard you found the palace and the soldier at the airport with shit that you do another job thank you
Troglydites!? Research the hypogeum at hal salfini, and underground race of human sacrificing people live underneath malta m read the nat Geo article from the 1940s about the missing school children/teacher! And it's the knights of malta aka St John they have permanent observer status at the United Nations.
Lots of hidden secrets in malta ...We are older than the pyramids !! But I believe the pyramids were there many years before the 2550 B.C. The Pharaohs Khufu but that's another story

Once I was told by a guide that the roof was removed (blown) by the colonial government of the time to dissuade people from returning back to the cave to live
Lino Farrugia yes lots of caves were damaged that way

Oh..Think she wrong I noticed quite a bit of dirt around
Maybe I should live in a cave, like Calypso. It would be cool in the summer.
lol....nice in summer !! what about winter....lol thanks for your comments tina xx
The legend of "The White Lady" has travelled far & wide. I grew up in New York State where we had the same story!
She must have been a busy lady there are stories all over malta ...lol 😂
The English came in and forced them to pay taxes and when they moved them out. They came back to find them still there defying the tax order. So they blew up the cave in 1835 I believe. Good old English rule.

Yes i heard something about this ..But i heard they where living in squalor and it was heath reason no taxes
Oh..Not heard this only know about elephant bones found over in Għar Dalam Cave
Watched anther video from English tourist he was a engineer and thought they were drainage and water collection channels They would be quite easy to cut with a oxen and two pronged plough set at 1.4 meters two prongs would make control better and in wet weather the limestone would be quite soft
Sounds interesting Brain

Seems no one really knows about cart ruts there lots around malta ...but interesting theory carol
18:36 that track can be lines of a calendar
Thank you for comments and so sorry late reply but i missed them and then daunting to answer so many please forgive me
Greetings from Englishman
Some of the caves have lots of Rock, maybe there are people buried underneath 😱
could be ??
Human cart ruts,turned to stone. This contradicts our current dating assumptions and our whole view of historic chronology.
Petrified flood mud.
Its all very interesting !!
the trogs are the original flintstones!
Sounds interesting
Is that stone or was it originally ash??
Those tracks look too wide and set edges to be from cart use..
Possibly stone pulling ruts via quarrying. No wheels have ever been found. Just saying.
Great explore , thank you
Yes its very strange area and the caves are awesome
I am from hotel and I raced in there I am in America now if you go go Musta there’s lots of history in there and there is a Palace Ana IRA when the soldiers in World War II there’s a airport and that’s where the cars and they’re not far from there do you know there’s a graveyard in there if you found the graveyard you found the palace and the soldier at the airport with shit that you do another job thank you
Sorry can not understand about palace and graveyard?
Maybe UFO’S landed 😂
