1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,880
I'm on my way to explore one of the most ancient and mysterious islands in the world, Malta.

2
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:18,480
It was here that a prehistoric society built megalithic structures using massive blocks.

3
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:24,960
These blocks were arranged into complex designs and are considered by scholars to be older

4
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,120
than the Great Pyramid in Egypt.

5
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:36,520
But after a period of 1,000 years, all activity on Malta stopped, and any trace of the people

6
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,720
who built these incredible structures vanished.

7
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,080
But why?

8
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:50,040
There are stories that say Malta was once home to giants and even a race of legendary

9
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,480
one-eyed creatures known as Cyclops.

10
00:00:53,880 --> 00:01:00,760
Could these stories offer clues as to what really happened on the islands of Malta?

11
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:06,760
And if so, could there also be a connection to ancient astronauts?

12
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,720
My name is Georgiot Tsukkilos.

13
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:17,320
I explore the world that exists between reality and speculation, the known and the unknown.

14
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:22,840
What we've been taught by mainstream scholars is not the whole picture.

15
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:28,840
But I'm convinced that every day we are one step closer to the truth.

16
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:51,400
I've traveled almost 7,000 miles to a place that has puzzled archaeologists for more than a century.

17
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:57,480
Lying just south of Sicily, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, the islands of Malta

18
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:03,240
have been of strategic importance from the times of ancient Greece all the way through

19
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,360
to the Second World War.

20
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:12,680
This small and densely populated country covers only 122 square miles.

21
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:18,480
But it is as rich with mystery as any place on Earth.

22
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:26,800
The islands of Malta contain no less than 7 megalithic structures, and quite possibly

23
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:33,040
they are the largest freestanding stones in the world.

24
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:39,600
To this day, archaeologists struggle to explain how ancient people living on secluded islands

25
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:44,360
were able to accomplish such incredible architectural feats.

26
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:52,040
So I'm here to find out if there may be an explanation that the mainstream has not yet

27
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:59,080
considered, one that possibly has a connection to giant one-eyed beings, the Cyclops.

28
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:07,320
In the epic Greek poem The Odyssey, written by Homer in the 8th century BC,

29
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:15,720
the hero Odysseus encounters a Cyclops named Polyphemus, a giant one-eyed human-like creature

30
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:21,160
that, according to legend, was the son of Poseidon, the god of the seas.

31
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:28,120
Now, while Homer never specified where the Cyclops lived, there are some who believe

32
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:34,840
that the giant monster and others of his kind might have actually dwelled right here within

33
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,920
Malta's megalithic structures.

34
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:45,560
To begin my investigation, I went to examine Malta's famous so-called cart ruts,

35
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:52,120
which some ancient astronaut theorists refer to as the Nazca lines of Europe,

36
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,720
because they are just as mysterious.

37
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:05,400
There are over 100 sites on Malta that have these ruts or giant pairs of grooves in the rock,

38
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,400
like the ones here at St. George's Bay on Malta's southeast coast.

39
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:18,680
The mainstream theory on how these strange markings were formed is that the wheels of

40
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:24,040
heavily laden carts compressed a limestone over a long period of time.

41
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:31,160
Now, for that theory to be true, the wheels of the carts would have had to be of identical size

42
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,480
and width, and they would...

43
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:44,360
These are a bit narrower. This is four feet and four inches, and from end to end, we're talking

44
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,120
five feet and three inches.

45
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:55,560
So it all depends how wide those tracks are. For example, right here, they're about three and a half

46
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:03,240
inches, or actually three inches in this part, and then up here, and we have seven inches.

47
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:12,840
So if it were just a cart, then one could surmise that the width is the same at all times.

48
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:20,360
So how were these deep and precise grooves made, and why? Perhaps there is a link between these

49
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,760
strange markings and the stories of giants here on Malta.

50
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:31,640
But how the grooves were made is only part of the mystery because these cart routes go straight

51
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:38,120
into the Mediterranean. Archaeologists are puzzled by this because divers have to determine that

52
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:47,880
these cart routes go about 42 meters into the sea, which is about 46 yards.

53
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:58,200
One area located on Malta's southwest coast has so many mysterious ruts. A visiting Englishman

54
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,760
nicknamed it after the busy Clapham Junction Railway Station in London.

55
00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:10,200
All right, how you doing? What's the bad? All right. To help me find some answers,

56
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:15,160
I've arranged to meet with author Gordon Weston, who wrote a book about the so-called

57
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:24,360
cart ruts in 2010. Gordon, here we are at Clapham Junction. So, you know, lay it on me. Tell me

58
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:29,320
what you think. Well, what do you got there? What do you got? A half a lifetime? Absolutely, yes.

59
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:36,440
Basically, you couldn't drive a cart down here. The cart would be wrecked. Early researchers looked

60
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:42,200
at vehicles that would scrape away the rock because that's what it looks like's happened.

61
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:48,120
There was three devices. The first one was a sledge, probably the oldest form of human transport,

62
00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:51,800
but they found that the sledge immediately got stuck.

63
00:06:51,800 --> 00:07:00,760
So, the two other devices have been looked at. One was a Trevois that used by the planes Indians

64
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:06,520
transport their TPs from camp to camp. The problem is that poles would be wider than these ruts

65
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:13,240
when they touch the ground. The next device is called a slide car. It's a load platform

66
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:20,600
with two runners on it. There's a fanciful and ridiculous idea. Factor good experiments and

67
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:26,200
that has seen that it just doesn't work. Gordon and I shared several different theories about the

68
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:32,760
origin and purpose of the ruts, ranging from tracks used in the transportation of megalithic

69
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:40,920
stone blocks to irrigation drains. But ultimately, every single one of these theories is problematic.

70
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:49,080
Science is useless for this problem. There is no methodology which can be applied scientifically

71
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:55,400
to these ruts. There's no way a block could be carried by a vehicle at the time the temples were

72
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:03,480
built. The first temple was built in 3500 BC. The wheeled vehicle only just come into existence then.

73
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,600
It certainly wouldn't have been on Malta. Malta was still in a deep neolithic at that point.

74
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:17,080
The presence of these ruts all over Malta is truly inexplicable. And there is one other aspect I took

75
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:25,640
note of at St. George's Bay that baffles me most of all. So in St. George's Bay, in a city called

76
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:33,160
Berserbuja, there are a couple of ruts that go straight into the Mediterranean Sea.

77
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:39,000
They are famous, you're right, it is interesting to see the ruts go into the sea.

78
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:45,880
They also said to have come up on the other side of the bay if it is now built over. So how do you

79
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:53,240
explain it? More and more I'm convinced that the people living on Malta were much more

80
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:59,800
technologically advanced than most mainstream scholars believe. But who were they and how

81
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:07,000
were they connected to ancient stories about bizarre one-eyed giants? I'm beginning to believe

82
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,560
that these islands have been the home of a highly sophisticated civilization.

83
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:17,640
A civilization that may have actually included extraterrestrials.

84
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:24,360
These skulls belong to the temple pairs. It seems as if it's like an elongated shape.

85
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:31,080
As you can see even from the insiders, no sign of the Middle Suche. Right. Completely fused.

86
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:41,400
I'm in the village of Crendi, about to meet with Dr. Anthony Bonanno, a professor of archaeology

87
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:49,720
and classical literature at the University of Malta. Dr. Bonanno is one of the foremost experts

88
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:55,640
on Malta's megalithic temples, so I'm excited to have him help me with my investigation.

89
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:03,160
Hopefully he can bring me closer to finding out whether or not a legendary race of one-eyed

90
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:10,600
giants known as the Cyclops actually existed here and if there might even be an extraterrestrial

91
00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:18,120
connection. I wanted to ask you if anyone believes that those prehistoric temples might have been

92
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:26,120
built by giants. Yes, there is this association even in Moti's folklore tradition between the giants

93
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:34,680
and the temples. There is a legend that the Gantia temples in those are were built by a giantess,

94
00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:41,880
a giant woman. Really? Yes. How old do you think the megalithic structures are?

95
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:51,560
We can speak in terms of a bracket, certainly between 3600 BC and 2500 BC. There have been

96
00:10:51,560 --> 00:11:02,040
claims that they could be older. If what Dr. Bonanno suggests is correct, then these Moti's

97
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:10,760
megaliths are at least 1000 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza. But after seeing Malta's

98
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:17,000
mysterious ruts running straight into the sea, I believe they may date back even further.

99
00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:25,080
Perhaps I'll find more evidence at the first site Dr. Bonanno is taking me to, the temples of

100
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:33,640
Menidra, located on the rugged and isolated south coast of Malta. This complex consists of three

101
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:39,960
stone structures that are laid out in the pattern of a trefoil. That is to say structures which have

102
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:48,760
three interconnected circular chambers. Malta is a fairly small island, but the ratio of how many

103
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:55,800
megalithic temples exist here on this island is astounding. So why such a small island and that

104
00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:01,880
many prehistoric megalithic temples? This is a question which we find difficult to answer.

105
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:10,200
The concentration is normally attributable to some sort of internal rivalry which spared on this

106
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:17,800
mad idea of building one temple after another. A mad idea like that. You know people have been

107
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:27,000
possessed to build this. People must have had a compelling reason to carry all these stones to

108
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:34,840
put them into place. Do you think the structure was built with anything astronomical in mind with

109
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:41,320
observing of the constellations? It has been confirmed that the entrance is actually

110
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:48,680
orientated towards the rising sun at the equinoxes, but you have also similar alignments in these

111
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:58,360
sources where the rising sun hit the edge of these blocks. In his paper, Menidra, a calendar in stone,

112
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:04,520
Maltese investigator Paul Mitzelev concluded that Menidra was built around 10,200 BC.

113
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:12,360
He came to this conclusion because based on the tilt of the earth at that point in time,

114
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:18,200
on the morning of the summer solstice, a beam of light would have come through the main entrance

115
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:26,920
of the Menidra temple and been cast directly on the center of an altar stone. The only way this

116
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:34,120
could be achieved is if the monolith at Menidra was placed specifically and precisely with the end

117
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:43,880
effect in mind. Now what fascinates me is the fact that megalithic structures can be found all over

118
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:54,120
the world and most were carefully constructed to align with the sun. In Macedonia, for example,

119
00:13:54,120 --> 00:14:00,440
there's an ancient site known as the Kokino Observatory, which features four stone thrones

120
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:08,120
at the top of a mountain positioned to track the solstices and equinoxes. In Machu Picchu,

121
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:14,360
there is a stone temple with three trapezoidal windows also positioned to align with the sun

122
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:22,120
during the solstices and equinoxes. Legends say that by looking through them, the mind can connect

123
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:29,640
with other realms. But perhaps the most fascinating connection of all can be found on the northwest

124
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:37,640
coastline of France. Here, a collection of over 3,000 massive rocks called the Carnac stones

125
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:44,440
align with both the summer and winter solstices. But even more incredible are ancient legends

126
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:51,320
that claim that the standing stones were actually placed there by giants, just like the legends of

127
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:58,200
giants we find in Malta. What are some of the biggest blocks that you're aware of that have once

128
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:04,680
existed here? We have much larger stones. We have one particular one at Hajar-e-e, which is

129
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:13,400
estimated to weigh about 20 tons. And we have a series of them of the same order up in Gantia

130
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:20,680
and Gozo. That's just mind-boggling, really amazing stuff. Between cart ruts that go into the sea

131
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:27,160
and a megalithic temple that could date back more than 10,000 years, I'm beginning to see just how

132
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:33,080
Malta could connect to stories about a race of one-eyed giants known as the Cyclops.

133
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:39,480
But before I can draw any conclusions, I still need to gather more evidence.

134
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:47,400
Here we are. It is in this place that the famous Venus of Malta was discovered.

135
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:55,160
Those are something I would like to show you. Standing stone. Like this one. Check this out. This is huge.

136
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:05,240
I'm exploring the tiny Mediterranean islands of Malta, looking for evidence that the legendary

137
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:14,280
Cyclops may have lived here thousands of years ago. As my search for clues continues, Dr.

138
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:20,840
Bonanno is now taking me to the temple of Hajar-e-eem, which contains what is possibly the largest

139
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:27,240
monolith on the island. What does Hajar-e-em actually mean? Hajar-e-eme means stones and

140
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:34,200
eem could either be worship or standing. So stones of worship or standing stone.

141
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:41,560
Like this one? Check this out. This is huge. Yes, three meters high by six meters,

142
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:50,840
50 wide and about another meter thick. That makes about 20 odd tons. Minimum. Minimum, yes.

143
00:16:51,720 --> 00:17:00,280
20 tons is around 40,000 pounds. That's the combined weight of 16 mid-sized cars.

144
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:11,320
I'm always fascinated by the fact that giant monoliths were erected by various ancient cultures

145
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:17,240
all over the world. For example, you can find them at Stonehenge in England,

146
00:17:18,120 --> 00:17:27,480
Carahunch in southern Armenia, and even as far away as Easter Island. So you have to ask yourself

147
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:34,360
how and why we're so-called technologically primitive people erecting these enormous stone

148
00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:43,160
monoliths without the help of any large machinery. This is incredible. So this is one of the largest

149
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:49,000
freestanding stones. I mean, when I see stuff like this, that's when I wonder how they carry it,

150
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,400
how they quarry it in this case. They must have quarried it. Then put it up right.

151
00:17:54,360 --> 00:17:58,120
Yeah, I mean, so how do you think these stones were brought here?

152
00:17:58,120 --> 00:18:03,080
Yes, they must have been dragged on a spread of roller stones.

153
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:11,480
While some mainstream archaeologists suggest that giant blocks of stone were moved from quarries to

154
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:18,440
temples with the use of carts that ran along the so-called cart-ruts, others claim that they were

155
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:25,640
moved by placing them on the top of stone balls and hauling them across the countryside. But while

156
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:32,040
it's true that a number of spherical stones have been found at Malta's megalithic temples,

157
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:38,200
it still doesn't explain why such enormous stones were even used in the first place.

158
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:46,280
You know, when I see this, I mean, it's just this massive rock. But you know, the weight, I just don't

159
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:53,640
know if the spheres would have withstood 20 tons of this because the spheres were made of limestone,

160
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:58,920
too. And the rough surface would explain why these spheres were actually different sizes,

161
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,160
different diameters. But I've never discovered it.

162
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,960
I'll bring it here and then just, you know, heaving it up.

163
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:07,880
That is another one. Yeah.

164
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,880
It's like just this obelisk just standing there.

165
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,480
It's about more than 50 feet, 60 feet tall.

166
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:23,480
I'm still in awe of the size and complexity of Hajar-eem. I mean, a 17-foot tall monolith?

167
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:30,040
How did supposedly primitive Stone Age people move something this enormous?

168
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:40,600
Today, we would use the most advanced of heavy machinery. And so the idea that some other type

169
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:47,640
of technology was used becomes very plausible. And the idea that these structures today are

170
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:52,920
considered to be temples implies worship. Who did they worship? The gods.

171
00:19:54,120 --> 00:20:00,120
Well, in my opinion, that is when the questioning begins, because we have to then ask ourselves,

172
00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:04,360
who were these gods? So, there's something I would like to show you.

173
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:14,120
I'm excited to explore the interior of Hajar-eem because there's something I've heard about

174
00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:20,440
within this structure that leads some ancient astronaut theorists to believe that this temple

175
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:29,880
dates back much earlier than 3600 BC. If this proves to be true, it could fall in line with the

176
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:37,800
evidence I've already discovered that could indicate a civilization existed on Malta as far back as

177
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:48,200
12,000 years ago. Right. So beyond a long corridor, we open up into a courtyard,

178
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:55,560
planned by two apces, one on each side, and each apse is accessible through a porthole entrance.

179
00:20:55,560 --> 00:21:02,120
That's one, and on the opposite side we have another one here, okay, with the usual rope holes,

180
00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:08,360
and it is in this place that the famous Venus of Malta about that size was discovered.

181
00:21:08,360 --> 00:21:10,920
So this is where it was discovered? Right, right. Okay.

182
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:20,680
According to Dr. Bonanno, many mainstream scholars believe the Venus of Malta is

183
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:28,120
approximately 5000 years old. But I find that very hard to believe because this clay figurine

184
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:37,960
bears a striking similarity to one I've seen that is much, much older. In 1908, almost 70 years

185
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:44,760
after the Venus of Malta was discovered, a nearly identical statuette was found in Austria

186
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:52,280
called the Venus of Willendorf. It bears uncanny similarities to the Venus of Malta

187
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:59,560
in both subject matter and its exaggerated style. But what I also find truly incredible

188
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:05,960
is that the Venus of Willendorf has been determined to be at least 25,000 years old.

189
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:16,360
The implications of this are truly staggering because if the Venus of Malta is 25,000 years old,

190
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:23,960
then that would suggest that the entire megalithic structure known as Hajra'im could very likely

191
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:32,120
also be from this same era. Now, while I've yet to find concrete proof that the cyclops really

192
00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:37,240
existed here in Malta, I see more and more evidence that the incredible structures here

193
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:44,440
are much older than what most mainstream scholars believe. But what exactly does this all mean?

194
00:22:46,360 --> 00:22:51,880
There are over 33 other megalithic sites, but this is the only one ever found on the ground.

195
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,520
It was a burial site from the amount of bones that were found here.

196
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:10,840
In 1902, a strange underground temple known as the Hypogeum of Halseflini was discovered on Malta.

197
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:17,880
The first archaeological investigations at the site turned up more than 7,000 skeletons.

198
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:26,200
And according to a National Geographic magazine article, from May 1920, many were found to be,

199
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:35,080
and I quote, long-skulled. I hope that Mary O'Casha, an executive of Heritage Malta,

200
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:40,840
can help me find out where the skulls are now, and if there could be a connection to strange

201
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:48,920
legends of one-eyed giants. So tell me how this place is unique in the world. Even today, there

202
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:54,280
are still a lot of questions to be answered. There's no writing at all in our prehistory,

203
00:23:54,840 --> 00:24:01,480
and nothing to really give us a hint of what actually happened here. Gradually, we started

204
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,800
to learn more of the site and what happened in these archaeological sites that we have here,

205
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:11,880
all over the island, spread out. There are over 33 other megalithic sites, but this is the only one

206
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:19,240
ever found, which is to be underground. It was a burial site from the amount of bones that were

207
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:29,720
found here, and also a place for worship. How many human remains were found here? We'll give a figure

208
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:36,360
of about 7,000 human remains, but obviously, it must have been much more, because the estimate was

209
00:24:36,360 --> 00:24:42,280
given from just one area. The most probably the idea was that these burial chambers were used,

210
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:51,400
and reused, moving away the older bones and putting in fresh corpses. The idea that this was a burial

211
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:57,560
ground and that multiple remains were found possibly in the thousands, where have those

212
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:04,120
remains ended up? I mean, where are they? Do you have any ideas? You've got the Second World War,

213
00:25:04,120 --> 00:25:13,160
all these were moved out. It's a tragedy that more than 7,000 ancient skeletons were supposedly lost,

214
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:21,320
but I have actually seen an old grainy photo of some of them, and they definitely appeared to have

215
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:28,040
elongated skulls, similar to those found in ancient Egypt and as far away as Peru.

216
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:36,600
Luckily, a few of the elongated skulls that were found in the Hypogeum were sent to Malta's National

217
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:45,080
Museum of Archaeology shortly after they were discovered. In 1907, they were put on display

218
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:52,120
and caused a sensation. Many believe that they offered proof that the stories of giants inhabiting

219
00:25:52,120 --> 00:26:01,080
Malta were true. Some even speculated that the skulls were of extraterrestrial origin.

220
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,800
I'm really stoked to go and check out the archaeology museum here in Valletta,

221
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:24,520
because who knows, maybe they will allow me to see those skulls.

222
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:37,480
Oh, check this out. That's a model of the Hypogeum. So you can see how vast of a complex it is with

223
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:45,000
barrel staircases, the different levels, and all hewn out of the bedrock. I mean, how cool is this?

224
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:51,000
It's interesting to come up with different ideas, but once you see the whole extent of it,

225
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:57,240
some explanations all of a sudden don't make any sense. Very cool stuff.

226
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:07,240
Are you Vanessa? Yes. Pleasure to meet you. How are you? Thank you very much for having me.

227
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:14,040
You're welcome. This is great. The archaeology museum holds interesting artifacts from Malta's

228
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:19,800
megalithic sites, including the remains of what looks like the statue of a giant female,

229
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:26,680
and even an oversized cup. But today I'm here to investigate the mysterious skulls.

230
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:31,640
You know, I was just at the Hypogeum and they actually recommended that I should come and talk to

231
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:37,480
you about some skulls that have been found there. So would you allow me to see those?

232
00:27:38,360 --> 00:27:41,560
Of course. I will show them to you in my office. Oh, that's fantastic. Thank you.

233
00:27:44,360 --> 00:27:52,840
What an incredible privilege. When 11 skulls found in the Hypogeum were examined in 1912,

234
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:57,320
they were found to have significant differences from normal human skulls.

235
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:13,800
I mean, this is wild. So these belong to the temple periods. So we're speaking about 5000 years ago.

236
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:23,080
They were found 100 years ago. Looking at the difference of this skull and these here,

237
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:29,000
it seems as if it's like an elongated shape. And there are certain cultures, for example,

238
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:34,120
in ancient Egypt or in Peru, where you actually find these elongated skulls.

239
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:41,320
In 1928, 300 elongated skulls were discovered in Paracas, Peru,

240
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:50,040
and were estimated to be more than 3000 years old. Now, mainstream archaeologists believe

241
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:56,200
that elongated skulls were achieved by ancient people wrapping boards around the heads of

242
00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:02,440
infants shortly after birth to create an appearance of nobility.

243
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,760
But ancient astronaut theorists have another interpretation,

244
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:16,440
one that suggests that some of the skulls were an attempt to emulate or copy the so-called gods.

245
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:25,640
As you can see even from the insiders, no sign of the middle suture.

246
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,640
Right. Completely fused. That's fascinating.

247
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:42,840
The bones of the human skull are joined together by sutures, joints formed by ossification.

248
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,760
The sagittal suture connects the sides and roof of the cranium.

249
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:53,800
This suture is open when a person is born and closes around the age of 35.

250
00:29:55,560 --> 00:30:02,760
But the hypogeum skull seems to not have a sagittal suture. But how and why?

251
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,280
These skulls are referred to as the elongated skulls. Like you said,

252
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:16,200
this one in particular, especially, seems to be longer. Just quite unusual.

253
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,920
I mean, I know there's quite a lot of mystery about them. In fact, we've been

254
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:28,600
accused many times of keeping them secret because there remains the evidence.

255
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,840
Yeah, why are these not on display?

256
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,080
They aren't on display yet.

257
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:33,640
Yet?

258
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:40,120
Unfortunately, they haven't been studied yet. They were discovered about 100 years ago.

259
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,360
The first thing you should study right here.

260
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:50,040
So are there any plans of potentially doing any DNA testing on these to determine the origin and

261
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:50,920
things like that?

262
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:55,560
Unfortunately, these have been handled many times. And some of them, most particularly,

263
00:30:55,560 --> 00:31:00,440
this one, if you look inside, it's filled with plaster of Paris. Unfortunately,

264
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:08,440
this would make it highly contaminated. And it's not to wait destroying such unique artifacts

265
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,080
to get data which is not reliable.

266
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:21,000
Vanessa, this has been fascinating beyond words. So thank you very much. I appreciate it.

267
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:27,560
And if anything happens with these skulls, let me know. I'm definitely curious to learn more.

268
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:37,000
It is incredible that you could see this. Normally, they are hidden for the public.

269
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:43,240
But do you think that these things might be extraterrestrials or do you think they're hybrids?

270
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,600
I can't believe I just saw those skulls.

271
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,640
The fact that they've been discovered 100 years ago and they have not been further

272
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:03,080
investigated blows my mind. I know this is speculative. I know that.

273
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:11,880
But what if what we have there is an extraterrestrial skull because that missing suture is very strange.

274
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,960
To gain more insight, I'm meeting with Professor Hubert Seidlmaier,

275
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:25,720
founder of the Malta Discovery Prehistory Research Foundation. Professor Seidlmaier has been looking

276
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:33,560
for proof of ancient alien contact on Malta for over two decades. He's taking me to the final stop

277
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:40,360
of my investigation, the Temple of the Giants on the island of Gozo. You know, it's really cool

278
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:47,880
to go to Gozo, but I wanted to show you these photos that I took of these weird skulls that

279
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:57,000
apparently were found at the hypogium 100 years ago. And here this one is missing the main suture

280
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:05,720
that goes across the ridge of the head. Congratulations. It is incredible that you could see this.

281
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:11,720
You are one of the few lucky ones. Normally they are hidden for the public.

282
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:20,920
I tried to make a DNA test, but I was unable to make the test because they hide it.

283
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:28,680
Do you think that these things might be extraterrestrials or do you think they're hybrids?

284
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:36,520
They are hybrids, weight half and half, but made by the extraterrestrials. So they are much older

285
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:44,200
than 6,000 years. So how many years do you propose we're talking here? I would say we talk about 160,000 years.

286
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:53,640
Based on the strange shape of the skulls, Professor Seidlmaier believes that they date back between

287
00:33:53,640 --> 00:34:01,960
100 and 200,000 years ago to the time when the first Homo sapiens sapiens emerged. And it is also

288
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:07,720
around this time that many ancient astronaut theorists have suggested that extraterrestrial

289
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:12,680
beings first made contact with humans and altered the course of history.

290
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:22,760
Now although these skulls are clearly too small to belong to giants like the Cyclops,

291
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:31,240
could they represent something even more profound? Could they be the actual skulls of ancient astronauts?

292
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:38,440
It's all a very interesting investigation to me. If Indiana has something to do with giants or not,

293
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:39,640
it knows something happened.

294
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:53,160
I mean look at these stones over here. Professor Hubert Seidlmaier and I have arrived on the island of

295
00:34:53,160 --> 00:35:01,880
Gozo to explore the Temple of Gigantia. According to legend, Gigantia or the Temple of the Giants,

296
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:08,760
owes its magnificence and its name to the strength of a giant test named Sunsuna.

297
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:15,960
And apparently she carried the huge stones boulders on her shoulders while carrying her baby under her

298
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:22,280
arm while building this structure right here. During my visit to the Temple of Hajar-eem,

299
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:29,640
Dr. Bonanno had explored the idea that limestone spheres may have been used to move the massive

300
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:37,400
stones into position. But Professor Seidlmaier has an alternative theory, one that I've never

301
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:44,040
heard before. He believes that the stone balls were used to protect the temples in the event of

302
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:53,400
earthquakes. So you think that these stone spheres were actually used in order to hold these blocks

303
00:35:53,400 --> 00:36:02,360
in place? Yes. Sometimes in the floor there are holes in the floor and there are the balls

304
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:08,440
with the right size and they are fit into the hole. Right. And then we have the half hole here,

305
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:19,240
half hole here and we put it together. On top of the stone there are always holes too.

306
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:24,920
Then you put the balls into this hole and then you fit the cover stone.

307
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:32,760
And there it fits. Okay, so it keeps. This cannot fell down anymore. So the giants did mean

308
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:39,800
with this type of construction they made the building for attorney. But I think this is great.

309
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:45,160
I mean this would explain the idea of what these stones were or these spheres were used for. This

310
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:54,200
actually is a very ingenious solution to an enigma. Just as some modern skyscrapers are built

311
00:36:54,200 --> 00:37:00,520
on rolling bases to minimize the impact of earthquakes, Dr. Seidlmaier believes that the top

312
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:06,680
and bottom of each monolith was designed with a hole carved out containing a limestone sphere.

313
00:37:07,720 --> 00:37:14,040
This would allow the stones to slide and roll and not break apart when tremors shook the islands.

314
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:22,520
So it's clear that they had the knowledge to build these structures and then all of a sudden

315
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:29,560
not only did they stop to build in this megalithic style but also it seems as if the knowledge was

316
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:38,120
lost. In my opinion the reason the knowledge was lost is the flood. 12,000 years ago but after

317
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:43,000
the flood they did not have the technology anymore to move these big stone blocks.

318
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:52,200
I'm blown away by what Professor Seidlmaier just told me and now I think I can finally make the

319
00:37:52,200 --> 00:38:00,280
connection I've been looking for between the islands of Malta and a race of one-eyed giants known as the Cyclops.

320
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:13,320
During my visit to the Temple of Gigantia on Gozo, Professor Hubert Seidlmaier proposed that the

321
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:20,120
early inhabitants of Malta were wiped out by the great flood, the same flood that is described in

322
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:29,480
the Old Testament. In my opinion the reason the knowledge was lost is the flood because all

323
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:37,160
the intelligent people were killed. And I remember that you proposed that this flood or one of these

324
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:44,920
cataclysms happened many thousands of years ago so how long ago do you propose that was perhaps?

325
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:53,800
The sin flood had happened 12,000 years ago so it is common known in natural scientists

326
00:38:54,360 --> 00:39:03,480
that the Ice Age did abruptly stop about 12 or 11,000 years ago and this was the reason this

327
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:12,360
culture stopped abruptly immediately out so all that what they did after the flood is very low

328
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:20,120
in education and in level. And that is why we can see the different building styles because you have

329
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:26,200
the megalithic blocks and then you have smaller stones like this where that is very odd because

330
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:33,000
you can clearly see the different styles and while archaeology tries to tell us that the smaller

331
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:40,040
stones were used first in reality it was just the opposite that the megalithic style was first and

332
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:47,320
everything else that followed was smaller because we can see that in many structures in different

333
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:52,600
parts of the world where at the bottom you have the megalithic blocks and then everything that

334
00:39:52,600 --> 00:40:01,560
came on top was smaller stones. It's true. Professor Seidl Maia's theory confirms my idea

335
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:09,160
that civilization existed on Malta more than 12,000 years ago before the time of the so-called Great Flood.

336
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:16,360
This would help explain why the cartrots extended into the sea because they would have been made at a time

337
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:24,680
when the water levels around the world were lower and according to most scientists the water levels

338
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:36,840
around the world were lower between 10,000 and 11,000 BC just before the end of the last Ice Age.

339
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:45,400
In Hebrew text known as the Book of Enoch which a few Christian denominations included as part of the

340
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:53,960
Bible it is written that God created a great flood to wipe out a race of giants known as the Nephilim.

341
00:40:55,080 --> 00:41:02,760
These giants were said to be strange beings the offspring of the rebellious or fallen angels

342
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:10,200
mating with human women. Now according to the ancient astronaut theory what the Bible often

343
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:19,880
refers to as angels are in fact flesh and blood extraterrestrials. I mean this is this is some

344
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:27,880
really interesting information I have to now digest it so it's been a great honor to to listen to you

345
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:35,080
and to hear about your ideas and theories because not too many people talk about what you talk about

346
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:43,240
so thank you very much and I appreciate it. So if ancient stories about the Cyclops living on

347
00:41:43,240 --> 00:41:49,880
Malta are true and since there is evidence that suggests that there was a civilization on Malta

348
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:58,120
more than 12,000 years ago then it is possible that the Nephilim and the Cyclops could be one and the same

349
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:05,800
and that they were a race of alien human hybrids that inhabited the earth before the time of the

350
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:12,760
great flood. I think Malta still has many more incredible secrets to reveal and much to tell us

351
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:29,160
about mankind's extraterrestrial origins but in the meantime I'm off once again in search of aliens.
