The Mystic Malta

Prologue.

The first problem I encountered while writing this article was the age of Maltese megalithic structures. Different sources, different dates. The next problem was discovering facts: who and on what purpose built it: an ancient civilization, the Atlanteans, giants or maybe aliens? I have tried to gather all the information and bring the story of Malta closer in the best way I could. One thing is undoubtedly clear. This is an extraordinary story worth exploring.

Let me invite you.

Introduction.

About the hidden wonders of Malta the world learned in the 19th century when the first archaeological dig began. It was at that moment when this little island amazed the world. Since then, instead of explanations more puzzles and theories have arisen.

A total of 36 temple structures were discovered in the area of the Republic of Malta, today some of them are hidden under water.

Malta was the administrative centre of the ancient, highly developed ice age culture.

It is difficult to find in sources a clear-cut interpretation of the time of megalithic structures’ construction. The most popular theory is that the beginning of Maltese culture took place over 5 thousand years ago. But researchers (for example dr. Paul Micallef) came to the conclusion that civilization was there 10,000 years ago. According to others, like Dagmar Claire and dr. Hubert Zeitlmair, this period could have been even earlier. However, there is no doubt that these are the oldest discovered buildings in the world. Older than Stonehenge and the pyramids in Egypt.

Technology more advanced than at present.

Today the temples do not look so spectacular. However, research and efforts of reconstructions done by computer methods present buildings whose level of performance was much ahead of their times by hundreds of years. Roofs, altars, cobbled walkways, perfectly aligned walls were built of 20-ton boulders. All that was created before the wheel and metal were officially invented. So how did 20-ton rock blocks fit in?  What kind of tools were used to transport and set them vertically?

„Cart ruts”.

You can find the ruts in Malta and Gozo. Some of them are hundreds of meters long, others stretch for kilometres. Their arrangement is even and the spacing ranges from 1.4 to 2 meters. Similar tracks were found during archaeological excavations in Spain. In both cases, the first association falls on the tracks on which something heavy was pulled. Maybe they were used to transport the blocks to build temples? Some of the megalithic buildings in Malta are built on mysterious tracks suggesting that "cart ruts" were created earlier.

Megaliths aligned with the stars.

Maltese temples form a circle corresponding to the sky’s cycles. Their arrangement is related to the movement of the Sun and the corresponding angle of sunlight during solstices and equinoxes.

Of a particular importance are the temple complexes: Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra. Both objects are now under a protective cover to slow down erosion and give shelter to tourists against scorching sun and pouring rain.

On the day of the solstice in the Mnajdra Temple the rising sun rays go through the main entrance and illuminate the stone altar in the interior of the temple. During the equinox (20-21 March, 21-22 September) the sun rises in line with the main door and penetrates inside the temple. To observe these extraordinary phenomena special guided tours are organized.

Such precise alignment of the temples with the astronomical calendar required the knowledge of the movement of celestial bodies and the axis of inclination of the Earth itself to the Sun, not forgetting about proper planning and construction of temple objects. Where did that knowledge and precision come from?

Underground oracle?

In 1902, while preparing a place for a water tank, local workers dug up a mysterious subterranean structure filled with artefacts. People called it Hupogeum. The age of this structure is estimated at about 4,500 years, though it may be older. It consists of 3 levels cut in solid rock, although it is suspected that there may be more underground rooms and corridors. It was common that in the Hypogeum halls people found cracks and hidden corridors, and, in accordance with human nature, they were got in there. This is not the safest hobby today, so now you enter the Hypogeum in small groups under the supervision of a guide.

Hypogeum halls are round with domed vaults. They associate with the female element. The shape influences the excellent acoustics of this place - especially in a room called the chamber of the oracle. Sounds from this hall are heard throughout the whole structure. Scientists suspect that by releasing appropriate sound waves the ancients got in a trance and had visions. Apparently visions and phantasms also happen to contemporary visitors.

Another interesting fact is that although Hypogeum is an underground structure, there are no signs of the use of light sources known in those days: torches, olive lamps. So, the question arises - how was this place illuminated?

Another subversive theory that I have encountered, concerns another use of the acoustic potential of the complex. In recent times it has been discovered that the resonance of sound waves makes it possible to create a matter from the sound i.e. the biblical: “and the Word became flesh”. On that base the theory was created that sound waves were used to build temples in Malta. Is this a territory that we are discovering here? So how was it accomplished by the thousands-year-old civilization?

Ashtatara – the Goddess Mother.

Legends and stories discovered on tablets found in caves in Illinois (USA) tell of a queen, the wife of master builder Asura Sidha. Both belonged to the gods of extra-terrestrial birth. They lived in times of the great deluge and they had their premises in Malta. These were times of peace, love and life in harmony with the natural order of the cosmos. This idyll was to be disturbed soon. A new civilization emerged. Civilization based on greed, power and technology. Its name was the Atlantis. A bloody war started between the supporters of light and darkness. As a result of a treason the light lost. Ashtatarta's husband was murdered. She was introduced into a deep sleep on the verge of death and deeply hidden. This place is protected by spells that will disappear and the Mother will wake up when we - humans are ready again to live in harmony with nature and serve the light.

Only on US does it depend when it happens but when I look around, sadly must I say that probably it will not happen soon.

In Malta, in the temples and Hypogeum many figures of buxomness women were found. According to archaeologists this is a representation of the Mother Goddess - the caretaker of the island.

Who knows, maybe all the knowledge of the contemporary civilization was deposited somewhere in the labyrinth of corridors under the Hypogeum.

The island’s energy.

In temples you can feel the strong impact of energy. The huge building blocks, of which the temples were built, have a great power. On the one hand, I felt overwhelmed and harmonized on the other. I made a small research/test  using my pendulum and it turned out that particularly strong energy was in places where rituals took place (let's call it - altars).

Generally speaking, during my stay in Malta I felt very good. Unfortunately, I suffer from a serious gastrointestinal disease and I badly endure traveling. So far, only in Malta I did not have any negative symptoms.

The Maltese islanders are very friendly by nature. I think it is caused by the specific energy of this place – the mother’s earth energy; good, loving maternal care female energy. I literally felt this energy in the person of an ordinary saleswoman at a local market who at one point spontaneously touched my cheek and said "bless you". I felt pure good and kindness and I took this blessing right to my heart.
