Episode #379: Cart Ruts in Stone - Mystery Still Not Solved

We discuss the mystery of the "cart ruts in stone" we visited while we were in Turkey; looking at video on the ground as well as drone footage of several large groups of well-preserved ruts in ancient volcanic tuff. Who made the ruts, when were they made, and how were they made? We address these questions and more, as well as reading emails from listeners who have their own possible answers.
