Turkey cart ruts maintain constant depth across undulating volcanic tuff surface. Ground-level footage shows rut bottoms remain level while the surrounding tuff surface rises and falls Multiple sets of ruts are overlaid on top of each other in the same locations Some ruts display sharp upper edges forming distinct lips along the margins
Here's the puzzle: Turkey's ruts stay perfectly level while the surrounding tuff rises and falls. Multiple sets overlay each other in the same spots, some with sharp lip-like upper edges. The area between paired ruts is worn smooth and rounded. Tracks cross, merge, and split in complex patterns — all at consistent depth and style. 🤔
Key Facts
- Ground-level footage shows rut bottoms remain level while the surrounding tuff surface rises and falls
- Multiple sets of ruts are overlaid on top of each other in the same locations
- Some ruts display sharp upper edges forming distinct lips along the margins
- Diverging tracks appear at the same depth as the main tracks, unexplained by sequential cart use
- Ruts appear contemporaneous based on consistent style and depth across the site
- The center area between paired ruts is worn down to a regular, rounded profile
- Tracks cross each other, merge, and split apart in complex patterns
