Of the many fascinating problems posed by the prehistory of Malta, three are outstanding, namely, the origins of the temples, their end, and the Cart-Ruts.

Indeed, they have aroused considerable interest, and controversy, since at least the Seventeenth century, from such as Abela (1649), Houel (1787), Boisgelin (1805), with increasing frequency through the course of the Twentieth century, definitive solutions seem as far off as ever.
