Dr Alexander Koltypin, a leading geologist in his
home country, claims that mysterious groove-like
markings in the Phrygian Valley of central Turkey
were artificially made by all-terrain vehicles and
NOT created by any natural process.
The scientist, a director of the Natural Science
Scientific Research Centre at Moscow's
International Independent University of Ecology
and Politology, has just returned from a field trip
to the site in Anatolia with three colleagues.
He described the markings as "petrified tracking
ruts in rocky tuffaceous deposits" made from
compacted volcanic ash.
He said: "We can suppose that ancient vehicles
on wheels were drove on soft soil, maybe a wet
surface.
"Because of their weight the ruts were so deep.
"And later these ruts - and all the surface around
- just petrified and secured all the evidence.
"Such cases are well known to geologists, for
example, the footprints of dinosaurs were
'naturally preserved' in a similar way."
