Exploring Malta’s Ancient Mysteries

Malta holds an ancient pulse that continues to reveal itself long after you’ve walked its temples and limestone corridors. For those who feel called to the deeper story beneath the island’s surface, the Hal‑Saflieni Hypogeum offers one of the most enigmatic threads — a subterranean ceremonial complex where Neolithic builders carved chambers of sound, initiation, and remembrance. During my own journey, the Hypogeum stirred a profound energetic response, awakening cellular memory and raising questions about the elongated skulls once discovered there. These remains, removed from public view decades ago, continue to inspire curiosity, research, and speculation about Malta’s earliest inhabitants and their possible star‑lineage connections.

What Happened to the Elongated Skulls

During the early excavations of the Hypogeum, several elongated skulls were uncovered — artifacts that sparked fascination, controversy, and decades of speculation. Some were displayed at the Archaeological Museum in Valletta before being removed from public view in 1985, a decision that only deepened the mystery. In 2019, I learned of a new DNA project titled “The Sentinels of Ħal Saflieni, Malta: Science Facts versus Science Fiction,” an effort to revisit the origins of these skulls despite earlier preservation methods that complicated testing. The story remains unfinished, and the questions they raise continue to echo through Malta’s ancient landscape.
