      Kal El Ceremonial storage of human remains (i.e. not just throwing them off the cliff like it’s the Chateau d’If), ceremonial ceramics, the presence of a contemporary surface structure which tells us entrance into this necropolis wasn’t just hopping into a cave to escape the rain, and the fact that this structure was built during a series of archaeological phases called “The Maltese Temple Period”. Not to mention the orientation of the main chamber to illuminate during the winter solstice.
      And other, more scholarly things discovered in the last 107 years of study, probably. It’s not like this place was discovered in 2016 and the archaeologists just assumed it was a temple.

      "From an examination of the skeletons of the polished-stone age, it appears that the early inhabitants of Malta were a race of long-skulled people of lower medium height, akin to the early people of Egypt, who spread westward along the north coast of Africa, whence some went to Malta and Sicily and others to Sardinia and Spain."

    The first time I visited this was in 1969 as a nine year old boy. You had to enter via a trap door in the kitchen of the house above. I went again about 15 years ago. The house is now demolished, commandeered by the Maltese Government with no compensation to the owners, or so I heard. If you want to visit, it is by appointment only. No cameras or phones are allowed, but you can buy copies of the official photographs whilst there. The Tarxien (pronounced tar sheen) temple is close by and is well worth seeing. 🇲🇹

      Same for me now but I see very mixed reviews, some quite negative regarding seeing only 2 rooms, too small even with only 10 visitors a time and €35 per person is ridiculous. I have been in a (old but much later date) similar underground place in Turkey that is far less expensive. €35 is ridiculous.

  • @vincentblackshadow1581

    One of the most incredible places on the planet. The feeling inside and especially strong in the circular chamber of the niches (oracle room) is something that is very hard to put into words that would be understood without having been there. It is one of the main reasons why I went to Malta and due to the fact that only a handful of tickets are available each day does need to be booked well in advance. Also getting to see the "sleeping lady" with my own eyes at the national archeology museum was something I will always remember.

  • @jeffborne1

    Thanks for the video, Matt. I think such an important site requires a more in-depth research and extended coverage. The dating of 4 000 BC is questionable, Malta megaliths are definitely much closer to the time of Gobekli Tepe than to the Bronze Age.

      Finally someone that isn’t a sheep, I applaud you. There had been C14 dates on Malta of between 6 to 7000 BC before Gobekli Tepe was brought to the public consciousness. At the time it was a mistake, “No Way”. After, you’ll never here about those dates being excepted. When in reality, there is structural evidence that ties to Megalithic Malta of the coast. It didn’t subside, it was built in a flat plain when the sea level was lower.

      EXACTLY. If the taurid meteor stream was much more dense 5,000 years ago people would have been prepared for an annual assault of everything from the sky lit up at night with thousands of tiny fragments burning up in the atmosphere to midair bursts like happened in Russia to ocean strikes which caused tsunamis. If you could inspect the remains you might find they were seeking shelter and raging fires outside suffocated them like in the cities of Hamburg and Dresden in WWII. I would imagine there would be temples down there. During the fires in WWII it's well known people we're praying. I'm sure they knew when it would happen and they probably had all kinds of ceremonies which they performed leading up to the event, during it and after. Seems like a good reason to invent religion, God's and sacrifice.

  • @Buckdawg
    @Buckdawg 5 лет назад +4

    Many answers lay in Malta. The rectangular style of construction is very familiar to other structures world wide, which certainly implies a connected origin, and the fact that it's underground would suggest that whomever built it was avoiding the surface, for potentially cataclysmic reasons.

    Just like the Paracas skulls in Peru which are have anomalies such sagital suture missing, spinal column location and some skulls are up to 30% larger in volume which cannot be explained by any known mutation or head binding. Seems we have another member of the human family to add that does not fit the evolutionary paradigm. Enlongated skulls have been associated with the higher class around the world but why? It looks like there was once another human species and headbinding is a attempt to mimic these features.

    Wow, looking at these images, I'm confident this place was the basis for the underground path to Atlantis in the video game Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. In the game, this location was on the island of Crete rather than Malta, but aside from that, the underground part looks exactly like it. The triple doors, crumbled staircase, giant stone sphere, the circular platform, artwork on the walls. It's literally all the same as in the game. It makes sense, because a lot of other areas in the game are based on real world sites. It was and still is an amazing game.

His focus is on a paleolithic origin for the first inhabitants of Malta & the background as to why the current conventional dating is to the neolithic. He also goes into detail about the geology of Malta/Gozo/Scicily which you might find interesting. Although the book was written in the 90's it is a scholarly work & is backed up with serious evidence & appropriate references.

    They could have built it to protect themselves from natural disaster (of course I understand they would have needed to be pre-warned). Many tunnels / underground dwelling exist throughout Europe also which seems strange given the massive effort for these people to build such.

      @pkrmkn31 3 года назад

      I'm pretty sure its just an estimate based on a number of different factors. at least that's what the 'experts' say. we just go off what information they give us and talk about how it doesn't make sense, you know, all these experts that seem to know everything about everything but then usually seem to be wrong. then when you question the experts you're labelled a conspiracy theorist. if this video was sponsored by the government and the person talking was so a so called expert and said these things were from 4000 BC you wouldn't bat an eyelid.

    7,000 people weren't discovered in the Hypogeum. Most (though not all) of the bones were removed in 1902-3 by locals and used as fertiliser! :( :(
    The figure of 7,000 is a computation based upon the amount of kneecaps found in a small chamber -- which indicated the amount of bodies it probably contained.
    This was used to estimate the total amount of bodies that the Hypogeum could contain.

    "Resonance chamber"? "Chanting or drumming"?
    Isn't this mere New Age speculation? How do we know what these rooms and chambers were used for - or whether their acoustic properties are intentional or unintentional?
    Any stone room is going to have resonance. Hell, my tile bathroom does - but that was not a consideration of its design or construction, just an after-the-fact observation.
