In the section on Graham Hancock's
theories on cart ruts, Miniminuteman mentions (8:48) how Hancock describes having scuba-dived to (other) cart-ruts 25m under water - but without revealing their location.
However, the Ma'at archives from over twenty years ago might be of some help here. See
this post and reply; and also
this archive post by Damian Walters, which refers to a previous investigation by Hancock of "underwater cart tracks" in Malta, and includes an extract from a review of episode one of "Flooded Kingdoms of the Ice Age" from The Scotsman of 16 February 2002.
Martin Dean, director of St Andrews University, is quoted as stating:
Quote
"The example he showed of what he said was a man-made feature under the sea off Malta looked decidedly like a natural feature," he says. "Underwater limestone is well-known for hoodwinking non-specialists into thinking that it is man-made because of the way it erodes into rectangular shapes.
"That was why you got those grooves which he identified as cart tracks. Well, they'd have to be quite large cart tracks because he seemed to be standing at least a metre deep in one ... "
One might therefore infer that the "underwater cart tracks" mentioned in "Ancient Apocalypse" were the ones also in Malta mentioned in "Flooded Kingdoms."
A paper by Nic Flemming on
"Flooded Kingdoms of the Ice Age" (15 2 2002) appears here. Graham Hancock's reply to that review
can be found here. Nic Flemming's
comments on Hancock's reply (19 2 2002) appear here.
Regrettably, it does not seem that Hancock's research methodology has improved all that much in the intervening twenty years.
