Episode #380: "Cart Ruts" in Stone II - Mystery Continues to be Unsolved

More investigation into the strange sets of "cart ruts" we explored in the Phrygian Valley in Turkey. We show more drone footage and photos, look at examples of "cart ruts" from the "Oregon Trail" in Wyoming, as well as actual ruts in mud for comparison. We read more emails with suggestions and ideas and discuss them. Thank you all for your emails and comments! The ruts are a fascinating and enduring mystery.   Support us on Patron or PayPal by going through our support page here: https://www.brothersoftheserpent.com/support   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and episode overview
