The European Union was financing at the beginning of 20th century on disentangling the Cart-ruts meaning problem within the Euroafrican/Mediterranean Area. A big descriptive study came out without conclusions about Cart-ruts utility in 2007. Canary and Azores Islands were left out of this study. In this work, we present data on Canary Islands (Lanzarote) and Azores Cart-ruts findings. We show that Lanzarote Cart-ruts on some volcanoes tops and slopes point out to Solstices and Equinoxes. Dating Azores Cart-ruts show a pre-Portuguese Islands inhabitation. We put forward that Cart-ruts may have been made to define time and space in some places. In addition, we try to contextualize the Cart-ruts construction in a prehistoric time of Mediterranean-Atlantic Euroafrican Area by using extant Anthropology data: mainly Genetics, Architecture and Writing. Close relationship between Guanche, Iberian and Basque languages is documented. Close retatoinship between guanche, iberian and Basque languages is documented.East to West demic diffusion does not exist but is evident between Africa and Wesr Europe.
