I originally wrote about this on the Graham Hancock forum after reading his book Underworld, but it was deleted. Hancock seems to be making an effort to distance himself from the “lunatic fringe” and not have his name associated with “conspiracy freaks” and “occult enthusiasts”… so you can imagine I’m not the most popular member there!
Malta is a small island in the Mediterranean, but during the Ice Age it was a peninsular of the southern coast of Italy, a lush haven from the frigid tundra of Europe. The island once bore a sophisticated civilization a full millennium (according to the official story) before Egypt did. The ruins of this civilization are still there in a rich array of sophisticated megalithic temples and underground chambers. Unfortunately, what we see today is only half the story because on Malta, so much archaeological data has been “lost” due to “random vandalism” and “incompetence”. Bones and teeth that could be carbon-dated have been lost, and most obscenely, the famous stone monuments have been defaced by well-organized gangs with sledgehammers.
The Maltese archaeologist and Hancock’s contact, Anton Mifsud, suspects there’s a conspiracy to destroy evidence of the island’s past, but Hancock disagrees. He avoids the prospect of a conspiracy like the plague (as he also does in his book Supernatural when addressing the anti-drug laws.) I’m sure he is mistaken. When the 5000 year old Rollright Stones in Oxfordshire were attacked by vandals daubing them with yellow paint, it even got a mention on Crimewatch UK; right up there with the murders, rapes and aggravated robberies. Today the stones are guarded 24-7 by the National Trust. The temples of Malta could be guarded in the same way by the National Museum of Malta, but they’re not, even after the temple of Mnajdra was struck twice!
Hancock is a real open-minded researcher whom I admire deeply, but there are some places he still won’t go. He will not utter the C-word- “conspiracy” if a conspiracy came up and bit him on the arse! I’d ask him to ponder these words of George Orwell: “Who controls history controls the present. Who controls the present controls the writing of history.” An essential part of our Lords and Masters’ control over us is manipulating the way we see our past. If we change the way we see our origins we change the way we behave in the present.
