Explore Megalithic Malta and Gozo in March 2024, including private access to the Equinox Sunrise at Mnajdra Temples & Ħaġar Qim, The Hypogeum,, Ggantija and lots more. Hosted by Jim Vieira, Hugh Newman and JJ Ainsworth: www.megalithoma.... Ggantija is Malta and Gozo's primary megalithic site. It dates back to at least 3600 BC, although Lenie Reedijk in her book 'Sirius: Star of the Maltese Temples' suggests much earlier dates. It is a hugely impressive megalithic temple and in tradition is said to be built by the Giantess Sansuna, who was also said to have constructed nearby Sansuna dolmen forming an alignment to Buggiba Temple on the Maltese mainland. It is also connected to nearby (now mostly destroyed) Xaghra Stone Circle and was the oldest free-standing temple on the planet until Gobekli Tepe was discovered in the 1990s. It features prominently in the new Netflix series, 'Ancient Apocalypse' hosted by Graham Hancock. Includes exclusive aerial footage.

I always find it incredible that the legends of giants dropping stones from their leather aprons are found all over the world. And I noticed a number of academics have written papers confirming that solar alignments at Ggantija around the winter solstice would have lit up various areas inside the temple.

@wag0NE Год назад

Based on the recent work by Lenie Reedijk in Sirius - the star of the Maltese Temple, presented in Hancock's new series. Each of the temples across Malta are aligned to (the star) Sirius, a star that is twice as bright as any star around it in the night sky. They determined that due to the earth's 'wobble' precise alignments would have had to be altered during different era's(ie build new temples correctly aligned). Starting with the smallest temple (finding it to be the oldest based on the alignment of Sirius) using modern software they tracked the movements and appropriate dates relating to each temple and the last one that would have been build according to this method would have been Ggantjia. Given the context it makes complete sense and shows the true antiquity of the site, at this point in time on earth Sirius is not even visible to people on Malta...

The way in video he used the word striding or stride of the one dropping stones story made me think of the Striding Vishnu of in India , but striding was saying the personage or eponymous Ashkenaz in Genesis 10 :3 was a general ancestral guide taking ultimate settlers out far beyond Mesopotamua after the great flood of Noah and he was exploring and "striding" 3 ways was his leading ancestors of people like of Asians and Native Americans until where they would settle or colonize in general sense . Not seeking to alter what's known, but keep an open mind to what if what happened in how it played out .The one settling North America was not obscure and chaotic back in time , but planned out for until destinations we're found . Though thus was very ancient . Many sons or children of Noah became the titles like Zeus and Poseidon and Dionysus and Athena and on and on so. Vishnu can fit as alternate identity of what Ashkenaz accomplished. He was the far out away explorer in those ancient days . To places other descendant sons had not gone that far though far in their own right . He was the Mongol like conqueror that lived as a sophisticated better equipped huntergatherer guy teaching men how to carry on living way out .

With all these sites you do have to wonder how far specific links go, for example architecture and some symbology are so unique that they are most likely an indicator of shared or passed on knowledge, depictions of the fish pieces, tales fire from the sky, tell tale numbs on masonry those types of things. However when I see common symbols such as snakes and cattle depicted to me there is nothing in particular to note, the main reason I feel the snake is just a common symbol and often representing danger is because it is the most common nightmare experienced across the majority of the southern hemisphere (based on an international study of dreams), strangely across western nations the fear of loosing ones teeth is greatest which just shows you how society has developed from fear of nature, to fear of our own self perception... crazy anyway. Snakes are snakes and don't think it necessarily determines a link although I'm always open to more! Great video and good timing after the wonderful Hancock series.

@watcherspirit2351 Год назад

Great documentary. You are generous with your skills. Sad to see the paintings that demonstrate people of our time did their bit to dismantle much of what was left of the structure.

Thanks for this informative video.My Family used to holiday in Gozo every year from the late 60's through to the 80's.My father was obsessed with the archaeology so we spent many hours in Ggantia,around the cart ruts and other sites.Indeed,my father used to find many surface artifacts including pot shards,and tesserae (which he would pass on to the caretaker or the museum)and wrote the first handbook about the cart ruts along with Rod Parker which was published by the Victoria museum in Gozo.the site then was obviously without all of the walkways and scaffolding.I find your analysis that the walls were polygonal fascinating,and as you say the weathering has all but hidden this.Also suggesting due to the erosion of (as you say)very hard limestone that the site may be far older than existing estimates.The possibility that the round rocks being used to move large stones my also be implicated in the creation of the cart ruts is also interesting.The suggestion of a connection connection via the stonework to Gobekli tepe and those sites is also exiting,some definitive proof would be great. The myth of the giantess (who sang as she worked) was connected with the possibility that an elephant was being used to transport the huge megaliths used in the construction.When I revisited the island in2001 and met with Jo Warren who worked as the antiquities restorer at the Victoria museum.she was busy piecing together a small (quite ancient,possibly fossilized)elephant tusk,one a pair discovered in the sea,I think in Marsalforn bay.

@carihislop161 Месяц назад

Thanks for your brilliant photography. I loved the aerial shots as well as the close-ups. If these places were aligned with Sirus - if I remember right we think of it as the swan, but with a star forming the head and two fainter ones forming the wings they might have considered that the head and arms of their goddess. Maybe the night sky 8000 years ago had two smaller stars that formed her knees (but they no longer exist or are visible to us). And those holes in the rock facing the entrance - has anyone tried looking through them at night? Maybe it helped track the moon or Sirus or other stars. Fascinating! And those weird round stones that weren't round (like the heads). They looked more elongated - like an elongated skul. They might have been left by ancient people as some sort of memorial for an ancestor or dead loved one.

@msprissmiss 2 месяца назад

I was just there & it was INCREDIBLE. The weather was incredibly humid & hot but the outskirts isnt so populated so you truly can get a feeling of how it was back then. One of the first thing I thought was, as huge as these stones were, I know that many of the constructors mustve fallen down the mountains edge, with a damn monolith, no doubt, or fallen straight off the damn cliff, because these videos do zero justice for how immense they are, and beautiful, little images carved in the stone like someone was hiding a secret there when it was new. I webt to 2 different sites & I swear, one site looked like it was for human sacrifice, thats the feeling you get in your bones, its horrible, and you see it in the slap and then a trench in the flat stone to catch blood-just saying-its INCREDIBLE.

@carihislop161 Месяц назад

Thanks for sharing this! While watching the video I wondered what sort of atmosphere people found while visiting. It makes sense a place like this would have had human sacrifice - if the shape of this temple reflects a seated fat mother goddess - the entrance would be the vagina. Red ochre paint representing blood spattered with animal and/or human blood - the mother goddess giving and taking life.

@thundercatt5265 Год назад

..it do kinda look polygonal.....but it don't look Annunaki built ,the stone is old ,it may be fragments of ATLANTIS heavily worn and reused ,by the way it's aligned (Circular stones) that's native made ,seashells ,and bullhorn...the heads look old and very worn as well the "serpent" now that's a clue ,like the serpent water marks found in South America ,it's a mixture kinda like the inca rebuilding over older structures

During my ten times on Malta, flown directly from Cph. Denmark, I sadly never visited this Temple, but only the one below the "Tent" on Malta, several times, as it was part of our Tours from Mellieha, in our Danish designed and built Village. As now 76 it is a little too much to join You on a tour from the UK. We do have some Private Cart Ruts on the beach just outside and also some behind our area. Finn. Denmark

What I love most about these ancient marvels is that at one point in time…ancient hands once touched these stones thousands of years ago. Actual hands from ancient people carved, moved and set (somehow) and we have no way of knowing how it was done. We are left to our imagination. Astounding

lol - friendship in archaeology makes it just that much more enjoyable. It is awesome that you have someone to explore these ruins with on a regular basis. Two sets of eyes examining these intriguing relics of our ancient past has got to be better than only doing it on your own.

@massimosquecco8956 Год назад

Thank you for having shown us the ancient paintings that testify to the real condition of the temples, much more complete than now. I visited Ggatija in 2019 the day after I visited Tarxien, and I have a better impression of them when confronted with the latter site, which is so much ( too much) restored. At least Ggantija is not made of 60% cement as the 3 temples of Tarxien are, indeed. But looking at the pictures of just 2 centuries ago I see how much construction is lost, gone forever:, that gives me a really bad-sad feeling.

@PunksterOS Год назад

@@MegalithomaniaUK Aye, I bet it is. Is it really as old as Hancock claimed, as I was afraid that he may be leaving out critical information that may have contradicted his own theory? I thoroughly enjoyed the show but as always, I remain sceptical but in his defence, I've no doubt whatsoever that he faces pushback from archaeologists with their 'trowels dug in.' We only need to look at human history and see what people will do to keep whatever the general consensus is of the time and will do their utmost to keep that narrative intact, ruining lives with ridicule etc. Anyway, sorry to impose my doubts onto you, it's just that I value your opinion on such matters.

@Robert89306 Год назад

These stones may be connected to Giants but how much weight could even a 10 or 15ft person in relation to a 6ft person in modern times . Let’s say a 6 ft person could lift 1000 pounds ? Could a person 4 to 10 ft taller lift or move a 10 ton or a 50 ton rock? Maybe moving 10 tons with giant”friends” but even 50 tons would be pushing the limit
