Mysterious ancient tracks cut into limestone have recently been found on the island of Malta  The tracks wander, sometimes disappearing under modem structures  Their origin and purpose are unknown, but evidence indicates that they could have connected settlements or water sources  One archaeologist hypothesizes, based on the tracks' physical appearance and surroundings, that they were made in about 1000 B  C
Some of the tracks connect areas that are sources of fresh water on Malta today.
