The Mediterranean antediluvian civilization
The glacial period now called Wisconsin-Würm lasted from 110 to 10 millennia BC. Sea levels were lower worldwide than they are today, since enormous amounts of water were concentrated in the Arctic polar cap that covered much of Europe, northern Asia and much of northern America. Some estimates suggest that sea levels were 150-200 meters lower than today.
This situation favored maritime exchanges between the Mediterranean and the other inhabited parts of the world, such as the Middle and Far East and South America. During the last antediluvian period (from 30 to 10 millennia BC), the centers of knowledge of the ancient world were substantially four: Mediterranean (Plataforma Sicula), Indic (Khambat), Eastern (Yonaguni) and South American (Tiwanaku ,Sacsayhuamán and Marcahuasi).
Since the 1950s, several independent researchers, interested in the study of the true history of man, met and reached convergent conclusions, which, in essence, approve the thesis of a great megalithic antediluvian civilization that spread throughout the planet.
In 1957, the American medium of Serbian origin G. H. Williamson met the Peruvian researcher Daniel Ruzo (Marcahuasi specialist). In the following year, G. H. Williamson became involved with the Italian archaeologist Costantino Cattoi (researcher of ancient Pelasgic and Tyrrhenian cultures).
In 1962, the Milanese religious Carlo Crespi began to catalog and study numerous antediluvian finds discovered by some Shuar indigenous people in the Cueva de los Tayos, in the Ecuadorian Amazon. In 1978, the Italian-Brazilian researcher Gabriele D'annunzio Baraldi, who defended the thesis that Middle Eastern peoples had partially colonized Brazil in post-flood times, met Carlo Crespi in Cuenca (Ecuador) and was able to observe the findings of the Cave of the Tayos. The analysis of the hieroglyphs found, compared with some petroglyphs from Brazil (one of them is the Pedra do Ingá) and with some objects later found in the vicinity of Tiwanaku (Fuente Magna andMonolith of Pokotia), led several researchers, including me, to consider that the language spoken during the last antediluvian period was Nostratic (a language studied by the eminent Italian professor Luigi Luca Cavalli Sforza).
The original knowledge center of the Mediterranean was the so-called “Sicilian platform”. Before the immense catastrophe known as the “Universal Flood,” the Sicilian platform included present-day Sicily (which was joined to Calabria), and the portion of land, now submerged, that extended to the south, or towards present-day Libya. and Tunisia. To the west of this platform was the western Mediterranean with the islands of Sardinia and Corsica attached. To the east of this large expanse of land was the eastern Mediterranean.
In the center of the so-called “Sicilian platform” there were several antediluvian cities in places that today correspond to the islands of Malta and Gozo.
Currently, on these islands you can see around 30 large megalithic constructions that date back to the antediluvian period.
Traditional archeology dated these sites back to the 4th millennium BC, but it must be remembered that archaeology, unlike what is usually thought, is not an exact science, and megalithic constructions cannot be dated with scientific methods. It is common that, to establish the date of construction of a megalithic monument, the carbon 14 method is used in ceramics or other organic remains found in its foundations, but this procedure turns out to be misleading, given that the ancients (post-flood) used often sites erected in antediluvian times for ceremonial and spirituality-related purposes.
The analysis of the current islands of Malta and Gozo highlights how the conditions for agriculture in the post-flood era were certainly not the most favorable. Therefore, traditional archeology fails to explain how on two small windy islands, with few water sources and little agriculture, a grandiose civilization could have developed capable of building impressive megalithic works such as those of Ggantija, Tarxien, Mnadjra, Hal Saflieni, Hagrat. and Hagar Kim.
Some scholars proposed the theory of “sacred islands”, or places (Malta and Gozo) that other peoples considered sacred, deciding to build there grandiose temples dedicated to the cult of fertility, but, in my opinion, this theory is not credible.
Only by examining the antediluvian geography of the so-called “Sicilian platform”, a vast land of approximately 50,000 square kilometers extended towards the current countries of Libya and Tunisia, can it be considered that the peoples who lived there reached such a degree of development (through of agriculture) who were able to specialize in the construction of megalithic temples, which today are appreciated with amazement.
The most impressive construction is the Ggantija temple, located on the island of Gozo. It has a three-cylindrical internal shape and is about thirty meters long. It seems that after the first foundation a second oval structure focused towards the north had been added. The stone blocks that make up the construction are colossal (up to 5 meters in length) and no one has ever been able to explain how they were placed on top of each other without the help of pulleys or iron sticks used as levers.
Another gigantic building is the temple of Hagar Kim (island of Malta) in which there are andesite blocks weighing approximately 30 tons. It is thought that Hagar Kim was destined for the cult of the dead and the propitiatory and sacrificial rites of esoteric priests, and used as a mausoleum in the post-flood period.
The largest temple on the island is Hal Terxien, approximately one hectare in size.
Inside this structure there are bas-reliefs of animals that were sacrificed during propitiatory ceremonies: sheep, goats, pigs and cattle. There are also several lithosculptures that represent spirals, which symbolized the omnipresent eye of the Mother Goddess, whose cult was common to many Paleolithic peoples. The internal areas of the temple were reserved for secret rites conducted by the high priests. Likewise, it is possible that the eastern section of the temple, devoid of facilities used for worship, was intended to be the central palace of spiritual power, even considering that the nearby building of Hal Saflieni was used as a mausoleum and that the remains of the kings.
In the temple of Hal Tarxien, several statues measuring up to 50 centimeters were found, in addition to the lower part of a statue of a woman that must have been about 2.5 meters high. These statues reveal a clear influence of Minoan art and, consequently, demonstrate that the Tarxien site was frequented in post-flood times by people who considered all the megalithic complexes, built by their very remote ancestors, sacred and magical.
If there is the possibility that in the future the maritime area surrounding the current island of Malta will be studied in depth, as was done for example in Khambat, other important elements can probably be added to the study of the true History of man.
