Think of All the Ancient stories of Underground civilizations and even hostile entities...even Jesus stood b4 some Underground entrance and said that "the Gates of Hell will not prevail..."
It’s never boring watching your videos and I believe that many of the ancient structures were created by the only people who have historically been capable of building such things. I’ll leave it at that.
As usual an amazing video ancient architects keep up the fantastic work I genuinely appreciate the awesome information I get from being enthralled in your uploads 👌
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. 🇲🇹
Definitely a delightful way to begin my Sunday. Whoever our ancestors were, I'm rather thankful we have sites like these to give us a glimpse into who they were.
I for one could not stand to see how life was for them. It scares me to think there were huge Giants and other wild half humans half animal beings running around on Earth. Yikes! Hearing about it is one thing being there ... No way
I'm in Malta now but the Hypogeum has been fully booked for way before I made my plans. Going to Tarxien tomorrow, then Ghar Dalam cave the next day. Gozo and Gigantija at some point. Great work as usual dude.
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.
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.
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.
Would like to hear your thoughts on the acoustic properties of this structure, particularly the resonant frequency of 110 hz. which has also been measured at several other megalithic sites. Cheers
@@DrCorvid I knew there was something familiar about that frequency. I remember 440 being the modern middle A note but didn't recognize 110 as an octave. Very interesting point you make. Cheers!

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.
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. I was actually thinking to go to Malta later this year. You've just made me get my shit together and book a ticket, cheers Matt.
Malta is a great place to visit! Especially for history lovers. If you want to see the Hypogeum, be sure and go online and book your tickets well in advance. They only allow a few dozen people per day.
I disagree with your assesment as to why it was built underground. There are several other temples of same design above ground. The Hypogium was built for the dead.
Very few things have the power to surprise and astonish me these days but this really does. Thank you Matt for bringing this magnificent structure to my attention - it kind of puts Stonehenge in context.
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.
I believe they are exactly what Enoch says- fallen angels that taught mankind "secrets of heaven". Ancient aliens/fallen angels/annunaki, all the same thing.
@@rebeccarivas9545look's like we are on the same page, the scriptures are pretty clear and similar descriptions of star people are found throughout ancient cultures world wide. For all we know human form could be common in the universe but obviously the fallen angels are compatible with human biology if children were concieved.
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.

Hi Matt. Please please include Dossier Malta by Anton Mifsud in your research. The book is difficult to get hold of but you can find an on-line copy. 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.
These wonders of curiosity of ancient sites , if it was only possible to have technology to reverse time to witness the early civilization settlements of each ancient architectural sites to observe and study they way of life without tampering time quantum as watching movies were you can rewind , fast forward, pause , rotational in third dimensional view , hear these ancient language of unknown , observed the beginning and fall of civilizations etcetera...it would be a magnificent spectacular observations to answer what questions we may want to witness ourselves.... something of curiosity and wonderful content ancient architecture does...thank you
Not to be 'that guy' who brings in aliens, but if aliens have been visiting our planet for millennia, perhaps one day they will be able to show us their research and recordings of our history.
This is absolutely amazing ancient architecture. Reminds me of Gobleki Tepe. One has to wonder if there was alien technology involved. Nephilim comes to mind.
What a shame about its discovery! Can you imagine if something like this were to be discovered today? We would painstakingly catalog everything in it to the nth degree and methodically excavate it for a hundred years, preserving everything. I wish we could find a site like this!
That depends on the country. In many regions of the third world, uneducated people would rush to collect whatever building materials they can get free of cost, and the site would be cleared in no time.
Hearing your theme music to a new video always makes that day better! Another interesting video on something I was not aware of! The red ochre looks out of place, like hooligans graffiti? The builders could do such an impressive job with stone yet all the Ochre looks like 4year olds finger painting! Maybe re-invented to store all the bodies. I am sure the skulls could tell us. More?
Hi Matt. The elongated skulls are interesting as several disciplines over lap: anatomy, genetics, human-evolution, social history and geography. Do you have any plausible explanations for them??
6000 years old, exquisite underground construction/excavation, island location off Africa. A small colony of Atlantis? Being a colony would help explain the time frame and similarities to Ancient Egypt and other ancient civilizations.
@@AncientArchitects Ever delve into the Irish Megalithic structures, like Drombeg Stone Circle, as opposed to the more famous ones? Most southerly example of a recumbent stone circle, which design migrated from Northern Norway etc?
Dear A2, Thank you for bringing light to this little-discussed, monument of antiquity. Could you please try to find out about if water was available in the cave structures? Were their sanitation facilities, for example?
You know you have access to all that yourself via whatever device you viewded this and made comment with... Don't make Matt do all the work, have some fun yourself... Google is your friend in this case... try www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/maltas-hypogeum-one-worlds-best-preserved-prehistoric-sites-reopens-public-180963397/ or heritagemalta.org/hal-saflieni-hypogeum/ or whc.unesco.org/en/list/130/ or www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology-mysterious-phenomena/experts-unravel-sound-effects-malta-s-hypogeum-hal or any of 100-s of other links
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.
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.
Thanks Matt, I’d love to visit this place. There are symbolic and architectural similarities with many of the other megalithic sites across the ancient world.
From a young age, I always had an obsession to dig underground tunnels and kit them as a special home... Sort of like some freakish ancestral memory...
I imagine they would have had stone and wood buildings above ground with similar looking beam structures or else they wouldn’t have fashioned the underground to look as though it had support structures.
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.

DNA of the skulls? Are the elongated skull people Denosonovian?
This is the most beautiful ancient structure I’ve ever seen. So fascinating. Thanks for sharing this exciting find with all of us.
Why is it every time we dig up new ruins, its a temple by default? Like the ancient didnt have other things to do but pray...?
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”.

Hi Matt. The elongated skulls are interesting as several disciplines over lap: anatomy, genetics, human-evolution, social history and geography. Do you have any plausible explanations for them??

Look up L.A. marzuli. He explains
Awesome video
Cheers 👍
Just what my Sunday morning needed!
Good morning!
Heck it's Monday morning here in New Zealand - there goes that Flat Earth theory then...
@@iandalziel7405 woops!
6000 years old, exquisite underground construction/excavation, island location off Africa. A small colony of Atlantis?
Being a colony would help explain the time frame and similarities to Ancient Egypt and other ancient civilizations.
@@iandalziel7405 exquisite article. That sounds very exciting. :)
Been waiting for this one!
I love this place. Let's see what you can do with it (and you've done great so I'm looking forward to your story.)
More excellent content such information, my bucket list is overflowing. Appreciate everything you do Matt thanks.
Thanks for watching
These underground structures are amazing, and so interesting. Thank you for your work
Matt: HELLO EVERYBODY.
Me: Hi Matt.
Cheers Odin
I didn’t know that his name was Matt. I guess I’d never really looked.
@@AncientArchitects Ever delve into the Irish Megalithic structures, like Drombeg Stone Circle, as opposed to the more famous ones? Most southerly example of a recumbent stone circle, which design migrated from Northern Norway etc?
Hi Odin! Love you❤️
@@_Odin_ Migrated from northern norway? any example?
Another no-bullshit video! Keep 'em coming! We don't need to hear what you think. Just tell us the facts as they stand today!
Again a really informative post, please keep it up Matt.😄👍❤
Thanks mate
Any reason for the exact same rhythmic style of verbal delivery of each segment of the video??? A bit distracting.
Dear A2, Thank you for bringing light to this little-discussed, monument of antiquity. Could you please try to find out about if water was available in the cave structures? Were
their sanitation facilities, for example?
I’ll try and find out more
You know you have access to all that yourself via whatever device you viewded this and made comment with...
Don't make Matt do all the work, have some fun yourself...
Google is your friend in this case...

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.
very good on what information that was available to you
thanks for this, I had forgot this place. More on Malta would be good. What do you make of the fossilized wheel ruts found there and in other places?
Malta is an amazing place - cheers
It is astounding!
It really is
Brilliant. Another bit of knowledge I would not have heard of if not for your efforts. Cheers!
Thanks for watching
Amazing !
one of your better vids
Can you explain how the 4000 BC date was determined? Thank you so much for these fascinating videos! I’m hooked on your channel.
My question too. Don't like those glib statements of fact without any backup.
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.
It is much older than that.
I'd like to see a recreation of what the inside looked like when it was inhabited.
It would have made a hell of a night club - Bunga Bunga!
The Mediterranean sea and its various islands are full of advanced and ancient civilizations.
This guy sounds like someone you'd hear on a plane explaining safety precautions.
Thanks Matt, I’d love to visit this place. There are symbolic and architectural similarities with many of the other megalithic sites across the ancient world.
My curiosity has peaked!
From a young age, I always had an obsession to dig underground tunnels and kit them as a special home... Sort of like some freakish ancestral memory...
Is this the place where the students and teachers went missing while exploring the caves??
@@ronnies2840yes that's the place
We still have the Hipogeum of St Lucjia, if they decide and study to open it!
I imagine they would have had stone and wood buildings above ground with similar looking beam structures or else they wouldn’t have fashioned the underground to look as though it had support structures.
Ah. I should have just kept listening.
So this place is older than Gobleki Tempe? In Turkey?
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.
What did the landmass surrounding Malta look like 6,000 years ago?
Anton Mifsud goes into this in some detail in Dossier Malta
Just incredible
I love this site
To build like that underground . Something uptop must have scared the shit outta them
Great video. Was there places blackened by smoke from candles an cooking?
Very interesting :)
👍
Thank you
What would happen if a glass shattering level sound was made instead of chanting tones.
"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.
I agree.
Try and talk little more natural. But otherwise a great and interesting video
Those bones and artifacts weren't destroyed the evil one's are hiding it all along with the rest.
