Stone balls found in Malta could have served as bearings in the grooves for moving megaliths. Some tracks reportedly align with astronomical markers. Could these have been evacuation routes or infrastructure left after some ancient catastrophe? 🔮

Key facts claimed:

- Stone balls found in Malta at correct height to serve as bearings in grooves

- Theory: megaliths placed on stone ball bearings and pushed along grooved tracks

- Problem: Square-bottomed grooves needed for ball bearings, but some ruts are U or V-shaped

- Ruts at Trinidad Falls, Missouri appear connected to mill foundations with circular features

- Some tracks in South America reportedly align with astronomical markers
