Monopoly is a trademark of Hasbro. Hasbro is not a sponsor of this promotion. Enormous megalithic structures of mysterious origins.
Starting point is 00:00:37 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?
Starting point is 00:01:05 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 gun. We have to accept the fact that there were teachers from the sky. There is a doorway in the universe. It is the promise of truth. It demands we question everything we have ever been taught. The evidence is all around us.
Starting point is 00:01:42 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. Then Picnett is an author and researcher. Malta is this really small island nation. It's just south of Sicily, and it's so small, it's only 122 square miles in its entirety.
Starting point is 00:02:18 But because it's a 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. This is Mediterranean historian Jason O'Sikeda, Ph.D. 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 1,200 BC.
Starting point is 00:03:11 However, because of radiocarbon dating in the mid-20th century, we discover 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
Starting point is 00:03:48 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 4,000 BC, some researchers believe the ancient inhabitants of Malta
Starting point is 00:04:15 lived on the Mediterranean islands thousands of years earlier. As evidence, they point to mysterious carvings found throughout the area called cart-ruts. Robert Schock, Ph.D. is a planetary geologist. 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 views that they were eroded into the rock, literally by carts being pulled over the soft rock. We don't know what these car truts are. You could speculate it was for a wagon, for a charity.
Starting point is 00:05:01 No, it was not because sometimes they come together. The width changes all the time, so it cannot be for chariot. The footsteps of the animals, etc. We have many terror is what these cartrads are, and we have no, finally, scientifically clear answer. The fact is these cartrots also go underwater. Here is ancient astronaut theorist Giorgio Suclos. We have cart ruts that go into...
Starting point is 00:05:30 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 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,
Starting point is 00:06:00 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 makes sense.
Starting point is 00:06:43 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 exists, 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 real estate. ruins of Gobeckley-Tepa in Southeast Turkey. It is the first archaeological site in the world that proves its age dating as far back as
Starting point is 00:07:36 12,000 years around 10,000 BC. The discovery and the official acceptance of Gobeckli-Tepi's dating has changed the history of archaeology. Here is Hugh Newman, author of Megalith Studies in Stone. Quebec Leiteppe 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, huge, they're serious monoliths,
Starting point is 00:08:15 and this was the era of hunter-gatherers. So who could have done it? We really don't know. I've studied Quebec Le 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 analysis, if the origins of the Malta temples may go back to a much earlier period also. William Henry is an author, an investigative mythologist.
Starting point is 00:08:45 We have to be open to the possibility that whoever built the structures on Malta We're not in fact human beings, but we're 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 local traditions about a giant being who came from the sun. stars. The Republic of Malta. Situated across the island nation's 122 square miles sit the remains of seven megalithic
Starting point is 00:09:32 sites. These include the two temples of Gigantea, Hajirin, Imnidra, Tarshan, Tahajrat, 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-toned 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,
Starting point is 00:10:10 that's multi-tonn, but to then place it systematically and very carefully next to another one, next to another one, next to another one, 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 3,600 BC,
Starting point is 00:10:39 during what is known as the Neolithic age. And they also theorized that the massive structures were built by a human culture that only used 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.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Well, let's step back for a moment and think about this. From an evolutionary and technology 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 multistructures 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.
Starting point is 00:11:38 To construct similar temple after similar temple 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 thought and ability that went into the construction of these temples. No written records have ever been discovered to explain who built the Megalific temples in Malta. However, local traditions of the Maltese people have offered a stunning possibility. They claimed that the massive structures were built by a race of giant
Starting point is 00:12:25 beings who came to Earth from the stars. Jonathan Young, Ph.D., is the founding curator of the Joseph Campbell Archives. 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 Gianthia, she started building a temple and moved stones much larger than any human could ever move and assembled the 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 giant's. test Sansuna. The local legends of Sansuna may sound incredible to some. However, in the 17th century, a Maltese nobleman named Gian Francesco Abella claimed to have found forensic evidence
Starting point is 00:13:32 that these legends may have been based in fact. In the early 1600s, Gianfrancso Abella 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 Succolos traveled to Malta's oldest megalithic structures, the temples of Gigantea on the island of Gozo.
Starting point is 00:14:23 There he met with Franz von Avondonk, an expert in Maltese history, who has lived on the island since 1991. Gigantia 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. And in my opinion, still a massive question mark. There are still questions, yeah, 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.
Starting point is 00:15:01 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 3,000s. Now we're saying 3,600 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.
Starting point is 00:15:22 When viewed from above, the two adjacent temples of Gigantea are designed with large abses resembling a clover leaf. Each housed an altar. An artifact suggests a wooden roof covered the entire temple. Many of the stone blocks stand 20 feet tall, and some weigh in excess of the same. 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.
Starting point is 00:16:01 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 calculate. It doesn't last. And leadership. Exactly. With the evidence of how old or when it was built, who built it and how it was built, might be
Starting point is 00:16:24 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 megalists. For instance, in Mycenae in Greece, there is a structure called the line. structure called the Lion's Gate. Aristotle mentioned that this construction 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. The same sort of cyclopean masonry is present
Starting point is 00:17:02 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 Gigantea 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, Eric von Danikin.

While investigating local legends that a race of giant extraterrestrial beings once inhabited the area more than 5,000 years ago,
Starting point is 00:18:44 Georgio Suclos meets with his longtime friend, Eric von Danikin, 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 islands, called Hajarine, which archaeologists believe might be Malta's second oldest megalithic structure, built shortly after Gigantea. Hajar Khim 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. Here is David Childress. You see colossal huge stones, huge walls and doorways,
Starting point is 00:19:36 and it's clear that it's very, very old. It's something that it would be almost indestructible. And in fact, it's been there for thousands of years. Located near Malta's southern shores, the temples of Hajarine are believed by mainstream archaeologists to have been constructed by the same primitive culture who created the temples of Gigantea on the neighboring island of Gozo. Joining Georgia once again is local historian Franz von Avondonk. Incredible. Look at this. So what are we talking about here?
Starting point is 00:20:12 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 it surely had a roof. I mean, just incredible.
Starting point is 00:20:26 No, whether it was a stone roof or a wooden roof, there's 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. Yeah. about the sunrise on the winter solstice and you'd be here at the back, you would see the sun coming up over the horizon through the entrance.
Starting point is 00:20:48 And if you are patient, you stay here till the evening, you'll see over there another temple, which will have a light phenomena during the sunset of 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
Starting point is 00:21:09 in creating the building. Mainstream historians continue to debate what purpose the temples have Hajarim may 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.
Starting point is 00:21:31 That is a very strong magnetic field inside that oval. It's believed that women went in there and they would have a very strong, Certain experiences, hear sounds, see flashes, 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 these deities. In this room behind the partition, they found a number of statues.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Among them the famous Finnis of Malta. which is a statue is 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 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 Giganteanthia.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Sansoona was this huge person, a giant, and she was carrying a half-human, half-giant 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 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.
Starting point is 00:23:33 In the Bible, these giants are called the Nephalim. This is Andrew Collins, author. of origins of the gods. 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. This is mentioned in several books
Starting point is 00:24:01 the story of David fighting against Goliath. Goliath was a giant. In the fourth book of the Baruch, There it says at those days there were 4,000,000 9,000 giants on Earth. So obviously giants were on Earth and giants were on Malta. Is it possible that Malta was once home to a race of extraterrestrial giants,
Starting point is 00:24:26 as ancient tradition suggests? 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 make a perplexing discovery.
Starting point is 00:24:57 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 by many to be the greatest engineering feat of the entire Neolithic age, and comes to be known as the Hypogeum of Hal Saffliani. 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 Hypogemonet.
Starting point is 00:25:38 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 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 3,700 BC, and believe it was made by the same people who built Malta's above-ground structures. However, ancient astronaut theorists suggest, just like with the megalitic temples, there is evidence that the Hypogeum could be more than 12,000 years old. There was this bullfresco that was painted in black was actually recorded and written about by various archaeologists up into the 1970s and 80s.
Starting point is 00:26:43 It has been noted that this bullfresco resembles Paleolithic cave art that goes back to 50,000 to 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 Succolos and Eric von Danikin traveled to Malta's National Museum of Archaeology. There, they are once again joined by local historian Franz von Avondock
Starting point is 00:27:39 to examine a miniature scale model of the structure. Has anybody figured out why any of these chambers existed and was their chambers that existed earlier, or did all of this happen at once? They started with a cave, and on top of the cave, a surface temple was built, and then they started expanding, the cave, slowly, slowly downwards and also horizontally.
Starting point is 00:28:04 And they developed a maze 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 about others. They are not audible inside other parts of the underground structure.
Starting point is 00:28:37 Why they did it like that? We can't explain. In February 2014, archaeoacoustics researcher Linda Enix 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 room was sensational.
Starting point is 00:29:24 The Oracle Chamber resonates at several frequencies that are very close to 110 hertz. The number 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.
Starting point is 00:30:07 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 other world lay. So it would see that whoever created the hypogeum did this with the specific reason of whoever went in there could attain communion with the gods themselves. Is it possible that the hypogeum of how Saffliani function as a place where humans could interact with other-worldly beings thousands of years ago? And was this subterranean structure connected to Malta's ancient legends of giants that came down from the stars?
Starting point is 00:30:50 Perhaps further clues can be found by examining an incredible discovery that was made deep within the hypogeum. Thousands of elongated skulls. Paola, Malta, 1907. Five years after the discovery of the hypogeum of House Affliani, archaeologists excavating the subterranean chambers began 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?
Starting point is 00:31:44 They were pressed into shape when these people were babies. Headbinding, 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 hardened, 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 skulls and that that was their natural appearance. Our ancestors wanted to imitate their gods. And so they did artificial headbinding so that the skull would grow in this elongated fashion.
Starting point is 00:32:54 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 headbinding? Or could they have belonged to beings who were 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 Eric have been examining the model of the Hypogeum. Although the skulls have been temporarily removed for scientific study, Eric and Giorgio are given rare access to a custom piece of the museum's collection. We previously had an exhibit of the original skulls, but at the moment it's being studied.
Starting point is 00:33:47 But these are a perfect replica that you can handle and examine. 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. And something is wrong here. Something you're actually wrong here. You're missing the sagittal suture. The sagittal suture connects to the sides and roof of the cranium. This structure is open when a person is born and closes around the age of 35.
Starting point is 00:34:23 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, in our opinion, the result of artificial headbinding. No, no, no. But this is authentic. It's real. So the ones that do not have the sutures, in my opinion,
Starting point is 00:34:48 could be the extraterrestrials. The conclusion is so easy. The facts are facts that these skulls are not human. The extraterrestrials, they had elongated heads. And in my opinion, the extraterrestrients were the giants, and they had sex with humans. and slowly for the generation generation, we become smaller. Do the skulls represent a genetic trait,
Starting point is 00:35:16 possibly linked with giants, intermingling with the local population, and these genetic alterations then occur? 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 hypoGM provide a clear, link to giant extraterrestrial beings that may have once inhabited Malta.
Starting point is 00:35:44 For Georgiosuclos and Eric von Danikin, there is one site on the island that may tell the story of Malta's otherworldly past better than any other. The Megalithic Temple of Imnidra. For more than 5,000 years, Malta's megalithic temples and incredible underground structures have stood as a 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, Georgio Succolos and Eric von Danikin,
Starting point is 00:36:30 along with local historian Franz von Avondonk, have traveled to another one of Malta's most mysterious ancient sites, the temple of Imnidra. So what are we looking at here with this corridor here? It is believed this is one of the oldest solar 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,
Starting point is 00:37:11 in the very, very far past. But the oldest culture, roughly four, five thousand, 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. Mikhailov came forward to... Right, and Mikhailov 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, Imneidra, a calendar in stone, Maltese land surveyor and cartographer Paul Mikhailov proposed that based on celestial alignments, the temple of Imnidra, appears
Starting point is 00:37:56 to have been built far earlier than mainstream archaeologists claim. We know for a fact that the tilt-off 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, Franz said this is the oldest part of the temple, which means far back, maybe 5,000 years or more, these people were watching the stars.
Starting point is 00:38:49 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.
Starting point is 00:39:16 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.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Who were these beings? And 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. Malta is one of these islands which is not understandable. Why on such a small island so many temples?
