Ancient
Megalithic Temple Discovered Underwater
Discovery
off the island of Malta linked to Noah's Flood?
An archaeological
discovery with far-reaching implications was announced in Augsburg,
Germany, by Dr. Hubert Zeitlmair, a German real estate investor and
part-time archaeologist, at a meeting of the Paleo Astronaut Society
on August 18, 1999. (October 31, 1999, Il-Mument newspaper publishes
article about discovery.)
The discovery
off the coast of Malta, a rocky island situated in the Mediterranean
Sea between the tip of Italy and the coast of Africa, had posed an archaeological
enigma since the unearthing, earlier this century, of a series of megalithic
structures older than any other in Europe. According to some studies
the "temples" above ground may be as old as 3500 B.C.
The discovery
of one more such "temple'" under water poses an even larger puzzle and
may indicate a much, much earlier date for these complex and large structures,
built with gigantic stones and aligned with the solstices, equinoxes
or both.
Dr. Zeitlmair's
search was inspired by the writings of Zecharia Sitchin in his The Earth
Chronicles series about the origin and extreme antiquity of ancient
civilizations, nd especially his book When Time Began in which he attributed
the world's megalithic structures to Divine Architects. Based on these
writings and because the known above-ground temples on Malta and its
sister-island Gozo are built in pairs, Dr. Zeitlmair concluded that
there ought to be one more undiscovered such structure; that it might
be by now off the coast and underwater occurred to him almost three
years ago.
The final
impetus to start a series of underwater searches was given to Dr. Zeitlmair
during a visit to MaIta by Zecharia Sitchin, with a group of fans, this
past June.
The final
dive that led to the discovery took place on July 13, 1999 at 10:00
AM; and subsequent dives and underwater photography confirmed the nature
and megalithic size of the structures.
