19x10 - The Giants of Malta

Post by bunniefuu »

Enormous megalithic structures

of mysterious origins.

There are huge walls,

gigantic limestone blocks.

They've been there

for thousands of years.

A vast underground complex

This is a remarkable structure,

hewn from solid rocks.

containing the remains

of what some believe

to be otherworldly beings.

We find this enormous collection

of elongated skulls.

Are we dealing

with extraterrestrials?

Could the ancient mysteries

that exist

on the Mediterranean

islands of Malta

be connected to local legends

of alien visitation

and giant hybrid beings?

This right here

is a smoking g*n.

We have to accept the fact

that there were teachers

from the sky.

There is a doorway

in the universe.

Beyond it is

the promise of truth.

It demands

we question everything

we have ever been taught.

The evidence is all around us.

The future is

right before our eyes.

We are not alone.

We have never been alone.

In the center

of the Mediterranean Sea,

between Italy and Africa,

lies a three-island archipelago

that makes up

the Republic of Malta.

Malta is this really small

island nation

just south of Sicily.

And it's so small, it's only 122

square miles in its entirety.

But because it's dead center

of the Mediterranean Sea,

Malta really packs

a punch historically.

Malta has been

a strategic outpost

for many of the most powerful

cultures in the world,

from the Phoenicians

to the Romans

and even the British Empire.

But what makes Malta

one of the most

unique locations on Earth

are its massive stone ruins,

whose origins could date back

thousands of years

before any known civilization

ever set foot on her shores.

It was assumed that Malta

was a long-lost Greek colony

from the Mycenaean period.

And this goes from,

you know, maybe 800 BC

to sometime before 1200 BC.

However, because

of radiocarbon dating

in the mid-20th century,

we discovered that Malta

is actually one of the oldest

megalithic sites in the world.

Mainstream archaeologists

now know

that Malta's oldest

megalithic structures

were built at least

5,600 years ago.

But little is known about who

these ancient builders were

and how long

their culture existed.

One of the most

pressing questions about

the megalithic builders is,

what happened to these amazing,

super smart guys

who built all this stuff?

Because the last known

evidence of them being there

is about 3,000 years ago.

They were there one minute,

archaeologically speaking,

and gone the next.

While the world's

first known human civilization,

the Sumerians,

is said to have emerged

in Mesopotamia around 4000 BC,

some researchers believe

the ancient inhabitants of Malta

lived on

the Mediterranean islands

thousands of years earlier.

As evidence, they point

to mysterious carvings

found throughout the area

called cart ruts.

Something that Malta is very

well known for archaeologically,

besides the megalithic temples,

are the cart ruts.

These are ruts literally

in the limestone rock.

The traditional view

is that they were

eroded into the rock

literally by carts

being pulled over the soft rock.

We have cart ruts

that go into

the Mediterranean Sea.

And then they also

come out on the other side.

How is this possible?

Some of the cart ruts

that extend from dry land

down into the sea

have reportedly been found

at depths of as much

as 140 feet.

This presents a critical clue

as to just how long ago

they must have been created.

I suspect that some of these

cart ruts are really ancient.

And when I say really ancient,

that is going back

to before the end

of the last ice age,

approximately 12,000 years ago.

The Ice Age ended,

we know, by incredible warming,

incredible rises in sea level.

So if some of these cart ruts go

back to an early enough period,

what looks like

it's going into the water,

that would have been dry land

when sea levels were much lower.

If you propose the idea

that 12,000 years ago,

which is a fact, the worldwide

water levels were lower,

then all of a sudden

these cart ruts that go

into the Mediterranean Sea

make sense.

The last time that area

was free of water

and when also Malta

was connected to Sicily

and to Italy with a land bridge,

that was 12,000 years ago.

So the fact that

these cart ruts exist

to me illustrates

that an advanced civilization

must have existed at that time.

Could the cart ruts

provide evidence

that civilization existed

on the islands of Malta

as much as 12,000 years ago?

Until recently,

mainstream scholars

would have considered such

a notion to be impossible.

But then, in 1994,

archaeologists discovered

the ruins of Göbekli Tepe

in Southeast Turkey.

It is

the first archaeological site

in the world that proves its age

dating as far back

as 12,000 years,

around 10,000 BC.

The discovery

and the official acceptance

of Göbekli Tepe's dating

has changed the history

of archaeology.

Göbekli Tepe is a series

of kind of oval-shaped

stone circles that have

T-shaped pillars as the stones

with two central pillars

in the center.

The thing is, many of these

stones are over 20 feet tall.

They're huge,

they're serious monoliths,

and this was the era

of hunter-gatherers.

So who could have done it?

We really don't know.

I've studied Göbekli Tepe

in great detail.

The Malta temples,

by conventional dating,

go back maybe 6,000 years ago.

But I wonder,

and this is based on

my own work and analysis,

if the origins of

the Malta temples

may go back

to a much earlier period, also.

We have to be open

to the possibility that whoever

built the structures on Malta

were not in fact human beings,

but were perhaps

a separate race.

And their existence

and even their origins

is completely shrouded

in mystery.

Could it be that the incredible

megalithic structures on Malta

are as much as 12,000 years old?

If so, who created them?

Perhaps further clues

can be found

by closely examining

the island's mysterious temples

and the local traditions

about a giant being

who came from the stars.

The Republic of Malta.

Situated across the island

nation's 122 square miles

sit the remains of

seven megalithic sites.

These include the two temples

of Ggantija,

Hagar Qim and Mnajdra,

Tarxien,

Ta' Hagrat

and Skorba.

These marvels of ancient

construction

were all built with the same

type of Maltese limestone,

which was extracted

from local quarries.

The fact that they

were moving around

these multi-ton blocks,

building these temples

and actually,

when you look at them,

moving the blocks within very,

very narrow confines.

Okay, it's one thing

to move a block

out in the open

that's multi-ton,

but to then

place it systematically

and very carefully

next to another one,

next to another one,

next to another one

to form these beautiful

temple structures,

that's a real engineering feat.

While there are some

researchers who believe

that Malta's megalithic temples

could be as much

as 12,000 years old,

mainstream scholars

believe they were created

no earlier than 3600 BC,

during what is known as

the Neolithic Age.

And they also theorize

that the massive structures

were built by a human culture

that used only

primitive stone tools.

Archaeology suggests

at the time,

we barely invented the wheel.

We barely had tools.

There was no known language,

and we had no writing.

Well, let's step back for

a moment and think about this.

From an evolutionary and

technology, uh, perspective,

that makes no sense

because you begin with simple,

you continue bigger, bigger,

and then biggest.

But you start small.

What we have in the case

of the Maltese structures

is that the biggest

are the oldest.

So, that makes zero sense

from a logical perspective

because there was no

evolution in technology.

The archaeologists,

they agree with this.

To construct similar temple

after similar temple,

um, with the same material

without evidence of writing,

shows a high degree

of communication.

And we find terracotta models,

in fact, of temples.

And archaeologists have

suggested perhaps

that this is an early

architect's rendering.

This is more evidence

of the high level

of thought and ability

that went into

the construction

of these temples.

No written records

have ever been discovered

to explain who built

the megalithic temples in Malta.

However, local traditions

of the Maltese people

have offered

a stunning possibility.

They claim that

the massive structures

were built by a race

of giant beings

who came to Earth

from the stars.

There is a story

that a meteorite came down

from the heavens and

turned into a goddess, a giant,

named Sansuna.

And the locals, of course,

were terrified of this giant.

But at a place called Ggantija,

she started building a temple

and moved stones much larger

than any human

could ever move and assembled

this structure

that was so massive,

it remains to this day,

still a place of mystery,

still a giant's construction.

When you see these

Cyclopean stones,

some of them weighing

as much as 50 tons,

you can appreciate why

we have the story

of this giantess Sansuna.

The local legends of Sansuna

may sound incredible to some.

However, in the 17th century,

a Maltese nobleman named

Gian Francesco Abela claimed

to have found forensic evidence

that these legends may

have been based in fact.

In the early 1600s,

Gian Francesco Abela

was living

on the island of Malta,

and he actually wrote about

the fact that giants

were involved

in the construction

of these sites.

One of the reasons

he wrote this is because

he said he found bones,

skulls and even giant teeth

all across the island,

and there were other reports of

them coming forth at this time.

In order to investigate

the local legends connecting

giant extraterrestrial beings

to the massive structures

on Malta,

in 2022, ancient astronaut

theorist Giorgio Tsoukalos

traveled to Malta's oldest

megalithic structures,

the temples of Ggantija

on the island of Gozo.

There, he met with

Frans Van Avendonk

I'm Giorgio.

Pleasure to meet you.

an expert

in Maltese history

who has lived on the island

since 1991.

Look at this. I mean

- Gigantic.

- It is gigantic.

Ggantija means

the giant goddess,

and it makes sense why.

Because right now,

I feel like an ant.

We are so small, and especially

when you're right next to it.

- It's very impressive.

- Truly.

And, uh, in my opinion,

still a massive question mark.

There are still questions

here now, definitely.

What can you tell us

about the dating?

Well, when it was excavated,

because we don't

talk about discovery,

-it was always visible,

-Mm-hmm.

people thought it was

a Phoenician temple.

- Okay.

- Much later, they realized

it must have been prehistoric.

So it was put in

the 2000s before Christ.

Then it moves back to the 3000s.

Now we're saying 3600 at least.

Technology has improved,

different ways

of looking at things,

so therefore

they're getting older.

They were built much earlier

than we thought before.

When viewed from above,

the two adjacent temples

of Ggantija

are designed with large apses

resembling a cloverleaf.

Each housed an altar,

and artifacts

suggest a wooden roof

covered the entire temple.

Many of the stone blocks

stand 20 feet tall,

and some weigh

in excess of 50 tons.

Is it possible that we've lost

some type of masonry knowledge?

Because you could create it

using smaller stones.

Clearly, this required planning.

- It required logistics.

- Yes.

In my opinion, master builders

were at work here,

and mainstream archaeologists

are suggesting

that whoever built this

did not have any writing.

Well, not only would

it require writing,

but you have to have

calculations.

- And leadership.

- Exactly.

With the evidence of how old

or when it was built,

- who built it and how it was built

- Mm-hmm.

might be there,

but we haven't found it yet.

I can imagine that people

saw this and thought

this must have been

the work of a giant.

Right.

Throughout the Mediterranean,

you see an association

with giants

constructing megaliths.

For instance,

in Mycenaean Greece,

there is a structure

called the Lion's Gate.

Aristotle mentioned that

this construction style

was called Cyclopean masonry

because of the large stones.

The ancient Greeks

figured that only

a giant called Cyclops could

have had the strength

to move these.

Well, the same sort

of Cyclopean masonry

is present in

the Maltese temples as well.

These stories of giants

have been an integral part

of our entire human history

since the beginning of time.

So, is it possible

that the reason why

we have these stories

of these giants

is because at one point

they actually existed?

And the answer to that is yes.

Could it be possible

that the temples at Ggantija

were built by gigantic,

otherworldly beings

who inhabited the islands

of Malta thousands of years ago?

To search for further clues,

Giorgio will next visit

one of Malta's most mysterious

megalithic complexes,

where he is joined

by his longtime

friend and mentor,

Erich Von Däniken.

The island of Malta, 2022.

While investigating

local legends

that a race of giant

extraterrestrial beings

once inhabited this area

more than 5,000 years ago

We're here.

- We're here again.

- We made it.

Giorgio Tsoukalos meets

with his longtime friend

Erich Von Däniken,

author of the 1968

international bestseller

Chariots of the Gods,

which established

the foundation for

the ancient astronaut theory.

They have arranged to visit

one of the most mysterious

sites on the island,

called Hagar Qim,

which archaeologists believe

might be Malta's second

oldest megalithic structure,

built shortly after Ggantija.

Hagar Qim is a Maltese

temple complex

that has multiple

temples on it as well.

The oldest one

in the northern temple

dates to the mid-fourth

millennium BC.

You see colossal, huge stones,

huge walls and doorways,

and it's clear

that it's very, very old.

It's something that would

be almost indestructible,

and in fact,

it's been there

for thousands of years.

Located near Malta's

southern shores,

the temples of Hagar Qim

are believed by mainstream

archaeologists

to have been constructed by

the same primitive culture

who created the temples

of Ggantija

on the neighboring island

of Gozo.

- Good morning, gentlemen.

- How are you?

- Pleasure.

- Fine, thank you.

Erich Von Däniken.

Joining Giorgio once again,

is local historian

Frans Van Avendonk.

Incredible. Look at this, guys.

And so what are we

talking about here?

- How tall is it?

- About six meters.

Wow. So that's

about 17, 18 feet?

Yeah, something like that.

Maybe it was even bigger

because of erosion.

It could have been a bit higher,

- and surely had a roof.

- Mm-hmm.

I mean, just incredible.

Now, whether it was

a stone roof or a wooden roof,

there is still discussion

about it, but it was covered.

And the whole wall must have

reached at least this height.

And the whole temple is

orientated astronomically?

Yes. So the sunrise

on the winter solstice,

you'd be here at the back,

you would see the sun coming up

- over the horizon through the entrance.

- Mm-hmm.

And if you are patient and

you stay here till the evening,

you'll see over there

another temple

which will have

a light phenomena

during the sunset

on the same day.

It's all oriented,

so it had to do something

with the stars,

with the universe. Definitely.

This must have been a very

important building for them,

and that's why they put so much

effort in creating the building.

Mainstream historians

continue to debate

what purpose the temples at

Hagar Qim might have served,

but a recent discovery

has led some to suggest

that the site

has an otherworldly connection.

And this is known

as the oracle room.

And the room

has something special.

Look at the oval inside.

There is a very strong magnetic

field inside that oval.

It's believed that women

went in there

and they would have

certain experiences,

hear sounds, see flashes.

It was contact with the gods.

The so-called "oracle chamber"

is believed to have been used

thousands of years ago

as a place where worshippers

communicated

with their goddesses.

And it is here

that a statue was discovered

which is believed to represent

one of those deities.

In this room,

behind the partition,

they found a number of statues.

Among them,

the famous Venus of Malta,

which is a statue

of the goddess.

Mainstream researchers believe

the Venus of Malta

is approximately 5,000 years old

and was used

in fertility rituals.

But ancient astronaut theorists

suggest it served

an even more profound purpose,

and it depicts

an otherworldly being.

As evidence, they point

to similar effigies

of Sansuna, the giant goddess

who was said to have built

the temple of Ggantija.

Sansuna was this

huge person, a giant,

and she was carrying

a half-human, half-giant,

uh, child of hers.

So she's a giant

like the extraterrestrials,

but she's mating with a human.

We also have the same story

found in other areas as well.

Curiously, similar accounts

of giant beings

mating with humans can be

found in the traditions

of ancient civilizations

all around the world,

including those of Mesoamerica,

India,

Egypt,

and even in scriptures

contained in the Holy Bible.

There are tales of giants

in all corners of the Earth.

Various monumental structures

have been attributed to giants.

But we have scriptures

that there were giants

among men.

In the Bible, these giants

are called the Nephilim.

We first meet the Nephilim

in the book of Genesis,

chapter six, and where it

tells us that

the sons of God came upon

the daughters of men

and that they beget

these giant children

called the Nephilim.

Is it possible that Malta

was once home

to a race of

extraterrestrial giants,

as ancient tradition suggest?

Perhaps further evidence

can be found

by examining another of Malta's

engineering masterpieces,

one that doesn't tower

above ground, but tunnels

deep beneath it.

The island of Malta. 1902.

While constructing

a new housing development

in the town of Paola,

a team of laborers makes

a perplexing discovery.

They uncover the entrance

to a massive underground

cavern system

that has been ingeniously

carved out of the bedrock.

The accidental discovery

is considered by many

to be the greatest engineering

feat of the entire Neolithic Age

and comes to be known as

the Hypogeum of Hal Saflieni.

Archaeologists realized

that this was a huge

underground network

of chambers and corridors.

You enter down into it

and there are a series

of three different levels.

All of them are interconnected.

The three levels of the Hypogeum

descend more than 30 feet

below ground.

The connecting chambers,

halls and passageways

cover more

than 5,000 square feet.

This is a remarkable structure,

particularly when

you bear in mind

they didn't have metal tools,

but it's-it's subterranean.

Hewn from solid rocks somehow,

and it's just mind-boggling.

Based on pottery sample analysis

and examination

of human remains,

mainstream archaeologists

have dated

the Hypogeum to around 3700 BC,

and believe it was made

by the same people

who built Malta's

aboveground structures.

However, ancient astronaut

theorists suggest

that just like with

the megalithic temples,

there is evidence

that the Hypogeum

could be more than

12,000 years old.

There was this bull fresco

that was painted in black.

It was actually recorded

and written about

by various archaeologists

up into the 1970s and '80s.

It has been noted

that this bull fresco

resembles Paleolithic cave art

that goes back to 15,000,

20,000 years

in places such as Spain

and other European countries.

And this particular design,

which was made of black

manganese oxide,

which we know

was used in Paleolithic times,

was actually cleaned away

and rubbed out, if you like,

by just one of the workers

there in the 1980s.

So, these sites

could be much older

than what the archaeologists

are telling us.

For reasons of preservation,

access to the Hypogeum

is currently restricted

by the Maltese government.

So to learn more about

the subterranean structure,

Giorgio Tsuokalos

and Erich Von Däniken

travel to Malta's National

Museum of Archaeology.

Good to see you again.

How are you? Okay.

There, they are once again,

joined by local historian

Frans Van Avendonk

to examine a miniature

scale model of the structure.

Has anybody, uh, figured out

why any of these

chambers existed

and was there chambers

that existed earlier,

or did all

of this happen at once?

It started with a cave,

and on top of that cave,

a surface temple was built.

And then they started

expanding the cave

slowly, slowly downwards

and also horizontally.

And they developed

a maze of-of chambers

and of different sizes

and different functions.

Look at this. You have

a spiral staircase going down.

And I remember being

there in the late '80s,

and if you stood back there

and you whispered

and you had another person

over here,

they could hear you perfectly.

So the acoustics

in there are amazing.

Yes, there are

very special acoustics.

Voices of a certain timbre

are heard magnified,

but others, they are not audible

in-inside other parts

of the underground structure.

Why they did it like that,

we can't explain.

In February 2014,

archaeoacoustics researcher

Linda Eneix assembled a team

of audio, geology and

archaeology experts

to test the acoustic properties

of the Hypogeum oracle room.

Archaeoacoustics is a

multidisciplinary study

to explore what was going on

with sound in ancient places

and how people were using it.

I was very familiar

with Malta's Hypogeum

and the sound effects that were

quite peculiar in that place.

And when I learned

about archaeoacoustics,

it sort of lit a fire.

What Linda

and her team discovered

while examining

the Hypogeum was sensational.

The oracle chamber resonates

at several frequencies

that are very close

to 110 hertz.

The number, uh, 110 hertz can be

identified clearly with a note,

with A on the musical scale

at a lower octave

within the baritone range.

In 2013, Dr. Ian Cook,

the associate director

of the UCLA Laboratory of Brain,

Behavior, and Pharmacology,

conducted an experiment

to determine if the 110 hertz

sound frequency

has any effect

on the human brain.

His tests were

on a group of volunteers.

At 110 hertz,

he found something happened.

There was a shift

in brain activity.

That frequency will deaden

certain brain patterns

and bring alive others.

And there is a sense

of connection

with the otherworldly.

So it would seem

that whoever created

the Hypogeum did this

with the specific

reason of whoever went in there

could attain communion

with the gods themself.

Is it possible that

the Hypogeum of Hal Saflieni

functioned as a place

where humans could interact

with otherworldly beings

thousands of years ago?

And was this subterranean

structure connected to Malta's

ancient legends of giants

that came down from the stars?

Perhaps further clues

can be found

by examining

an incredible discovery

that was made deep

within the Hypogeum:

thousands of elongated skulls.

Five years after the discovery

of the Hypogeum of Hal Saflieni,

archaeologists excavating

the subterranean chambers

begin to uncover human remains.

In total, they find

an estimated 7,000 skeletons,

and reportedly,

a great many of them

have skulls that are

noticeably elongated.

It was found

that some of the skulls

were actually elongated.

They were almost like

the head going backwards

rather than upwards.

Does that represent the fact

that they were doing

head binding,

and they were pressed into shape

when these people were babies?

Head binding, also known as

artificial cranial deformation,

has been a practice of numerous

primitive cultures

around the world,

dating from prehistoric times

all the way

into the 20th century.

It involves tightly wrapping

the heads of infants

before their skulls

fully harden,

resulting in an elongated shape.

Archaeologists

and anthropologists

agree that this was done

because of worshipping

some type of deity.

A deity with an elongated skull?

That's interesting.

Where did they get

this inspiration from?

So, I am suggesting

that our ancestors

were visited by beings,

flesh and blood beings,

that had actual elongated skulls

and that that was their

natural appearance.

Our ancestors wanted

to imitate their gods.

And so they did

artificial head binding

so that the skull would grow

in this elongated fashion.

And this happened on

all continents around the world,

including Europe

and on the island of Malta.

Who could these elongated

skulls have belonged to?

Are they the result

of head binding?

Or could they

have belonged to beings

who are of otherworldly origin?

Today, only a handful

of the elongated skulls

that were discovered

in the Hypogeum still exist.

They now belong to Malta's

National Museum of Archaeology,

where Giorgio and Erich

have been examining

the model of the Hypogeum.

Although the skulls

have been temporarily removed

for scientific study,

Erich and Giorgio

are given rare access

to a custom piece

of the museum's collection.

We previously had,

um, an exhibit

of the original skulls,

- but at the moment it's being studied.

- Mm-hmm.

But these are a perfect replica,

- that you can handle and examine.

- Wow. Wow. Wow.

The museum replica

is modeled after

one of the actual

elongated skulls

Giorgio had the opportunity

to examine in person

on a previous trip

to Malta in 2014.

Something is wrong here.

- Something is definitely wrong here.

- Exactly.

- Look at this. You're missing the sagittal suture.

- The fontanelle.

The sagittal suture

connects to the sides

and roof of the cranium.

This suture is open

when a person is born

and closes around the age of 35.

So I actually brought a picture

of what a human sagittal suture

would look like,

which would go across here,

and it is missing.

This is not, in our opinion,

the result of artificial

head binding.

- No, no, no, no.

- But this is authentic. It's real.

So the ones that do not

have the sutures,

in my opinion,

could be the extraterrestrials.

The conclusion is so easy.

The facts are facts

that these skulls are not human.

Do the skulls represent

a genetic trait

possibly linked with giants

intermingling

with the local population,

and the genetic alterations

then occurred?

And so we're looking at possibly

almost like a different type of

human existing in ancient Malta.

Could the few elongated skulls

that have survived from

the excavation of the Hypogeum

provide a clear link

to extraterrestrial beings

that may have once

inhabited Malta?

For Giorgio Tsoukalos

and Erich Von Däniken,

there is one site on the islands

that may tell the story

of Malta's otherworldly past

better than any other:

the megalithic temple

Of Mnajdra.

For more than 5,000 years,

Malta's megalithic temples

and incredible

underground structures

have stood as testament

to a once great culture,

of whom very little is known.

And some researchers believe

that this civilization

existed on the islands

thousands of years earlier

than mainstream

archaeologists suggest.

To further investigate

this intriguing theory,

Giorgio Tsoukalos

and Erich Von Däniken,

along with local historian

Frans Van Avendonk,

have traveled to another

one of Malta's

most mysterious ancient sites:

the temple of Mnajdra.

So what are we looking at here,

with this corridor here?

It is believed this

is one of the oldest

solar, uh, calendars

in the world.

We find that that stone

at the winter solstice,

the right edge is lit up.

Alternatively, this is

the summer solstice stone.

So at sunrise,

light will fall through

the entrance and touch

upon this stone.

Now, if you look at it today,

the alignments

are maybe different

than it was in the past,

in the very, very far past.

But the oldest culture,

roughly 4,000 or 5,000,

according to archaeology?

According to archaeology,

this is around

3,300 before modern era.

But then we have

another solution,

which one of your local

Dr. Micallef came forward, too.

Right. And Micallef calculated

that with one of these stones,

for it to line up correctly,

it would have to correspond

to a date of 10,200 BC.

In his 1992 paper,

Mnajdra: A Calendar in Stone,

Maltese land surveyor

and cartographer Paul Micallef

proposed that based

on celestial alignments,

the temple of Mnajdra

appears to have been built

far earlier than mainstream

archaeologists claim.

We know for a fact that the tilt

of the Earth has changed,

but with modern-day

computer technology,

we can sort of rewind

the night sky

to the time as it was back then.

And he determined

that was 10,200 BC,

when the light

on both the winter

and the summer solstice

would actually line up exactly

on both ends of that slab.

So clearly we have another

connection to the stars,

a celestial bridge, so to speak.

And, you know, Frans said

this is the oldest

- part of the temple.

- It is.

Which means far back,

maybe 5,000 years or more,

these people

were watching the stars.

They were looking for something.

They were hoping for something.

Maybe they were waiting

for the return of the gods.

The old question remains:

which gods?

Right.

While excavations

of ancient sites

continue throughout Malta,

many scholars agree

that the archaeological wonders

found both above ground

and below

provide an unparalleled glimpse

into the planet's

earliest human societies.

And as far as ancient astronaut

theorists are concerned,

Malta holds the secrets

of a profound past

that we have only begun

to uncover.

When you put

all the pieces together

of what we see

in these temples on Malta,

the engineering knowledge

that was required,

the astronomical knowledge

that's encoded within them,

and you realize you're dealing

with a primitive time,

someone had to have brought it

from somewhere.

Who were these beings?

If we can ultimately answer

this question,

it's going to lead to

a revelation of perhaps

some of the greatest mysteries

of all of human history.

Is it possible that Malta

was once home to giant beings

who were part human

and part extraterrestrial?

And might the most

extraordinary evidence of all

lie hidden in some ancient

underground chamber

still waiting to be discovered?

Perhaps the latest

excavations on Malta

will lead to

the profound revelation

that the island's

megalithic temples

serve not as monuments

to the gods

but to our alien origins.
