for the next sponsor ad huh good call Chef [Music] it was a late winter night on the island of Malta many thousands of years ago a farmer was awakened by a strange rumbling sound it sounded like wind but deeper his family was still asleep no need to wake them until he figured out what this was the farmer stepped through the low entrance of his Hut and stood at the edge of his Wheat Field it was just a day or two after the new moon it should have been Pitch Black but an eerie orange light washed
over the field and it was getting brighter and the sound was getting louder it wasn't wind he'd seen meteors before but they were small and came in bunches this was a single large object blazing a path through the night sky then he became afraid it was getting bigger this fiery object whatever it was was headed straight for the island he wanted to warn his family but there was no time seconds later it roared past it left a trail of fire in the sky above his Hut his field and then into a valley nearby a bright
flash lit up the island and the Sea Beyond then just as quickly the darkness returned the farmer's wife stepped out of the Hut afraid he turned to comfort her whatever it was it crashed the danger was over but she wasn't looking at him she was staring at something behind him in the direction of the crash the farmer turned around and saw a huge figure emerged from the woods a dark silhouette that stood higher than the trees the giant called SSA had arrived when SSA emerged from the woods on goo the locals were terrified but despite
her overwhelming size and strength she eventually earned their trust she claimed to be from a race of beings called the Nephilim and she promised to protect them the farmers in the islands were in constant Danger from Raiders and Pirates but now at the arrival of this gianti the maltes had a powerful Guardian the islands were abundant with huge limestones some weighing 20 tons and stood 20 ft High to the mtis people the stones were too large to be useful this was thousands of years ago they had no metal tools they hadn't yet discovered the wheel
but sunsa was able to pick up even the largest stones and carefully place them one by one soon enormous temples were assembled some had walls three stories high she built 30 different megalithic temples across the islands the most impressive Temple is on the island of Goo the farmers named it gigantia the maltes word for giant gigantia is made of two separate buildings built built using enormous Limestone blocks and it still stands to this day but as the centuries passed senuna became nothing more than a local Legend a myth no one believed these enormous stone blocks
were carried by a giant no one believed in Giants until they found the [Music] bones the Mal Islands have been continuously occupied for thousands of years they're strategically important they're 60 mi from Italy and 180 mi from North Africa right in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea the Phoenicians were the first Empire to claim Malta then came the Romans then the byzantines the Arabs and the Christians in 1530 Malta was governed by a nobleman named John abela he was the first person in a long time to take interest in the temples on the islands he
collected artifacts and documented ancient buildings most were buried in debris from centuries of neglect but a little digging revealed the structures were enormous aala didn't understand how these huge temples could be built by ancient Farmers one day a worker found something wedged in a rock visure when AA saw it the answer to who built the huge structures was clear they were built by a giant the worker handed a baa a femur the largest bone in the human leg except this femur was twice as large as a normal humans a person with a femur this big
would be about 10 ft tall yep soon aella had workers all over the island hunting and by 1647 he had enough bones to publish a pioneering book that made him famous he's been called the father of maltes History H tell the people the name of his famous book there but that's not really important to the story yeah you can't pronounce it it's Italian I can pronounce it go ahead then it's not 20 Buck says you can't do it I ba book was titled take it show the book documented skull fragments giant femur and tibas impossibly
large vertebrae and enormous pelvic bones Abella concluded that the malt temples were built by a prehistoric race of giants that lived on the island AA turned his home into malta's first Museum he put the bones on display and opened the museum to the public anatomists and naturalists who saw the large bones agreed they must have belonged to Giants Skeptics said they were animal bones and until the sites were fully cleared there was no way to know for sure then centuries later proper archaeological excavations were done but what they uncovered didn't solve the mystery it added
to it in 1915 a maltes farmer kept hitting large stone blocks while plowing his field so we contacted the Mal Museum director sir Tami zamit expecting more Temple remains zamit instead found something quite different a massive statue the top had been destroyed but the bottom remained two giant legs and feet the statue was over 10 ft tall workers kept digging and what was a buried statue turned out to be much more the statue was in the middle of a complex group of megalithic temples zamit uncovered one of the most significant and impressive archaeological sites in
Malta they're known as the tarian temples four structures in all arranged in a Cloverleaf pattern only visible from above the temples were made from Limestone blocks some are 20 ft tall and weigh over 50 tons walls doorways even floors made of enormous stones that fit together perfectly he kept digging zamit oversaw the excavation of nearly 30 different sites all megalithic all made with enormous Limestone stacked in close fitting slabs the obvious question plaguing zamit was how could Stone AG Farmers on a remote island build these things the temple excavated Edom Nidra is even more mysterious
it might be the world's oldest calendar on the equinoxes the Sun hits the main axis of the temple on the solstices the Sun hits the opposite axis the alignment is perfect almost now it might seem odd that a culture that could build a site with such Precision would be off by a few degrees so what went wrong well nothing as you know the Earth slowly wobbles on its axis and the position of the Stars changes over time this is called procession there was a time when the temple of am Nidra was in perfect alignment with
these celestial events 10,200 BC that means yep the younger dras 10,200 BC is just after the end of the younger dras when the ice sheets melted and a great flood rushed over the Earth the flood was quick and it was merciless coastal cities were gone shredded by a mile high tsunami moving at the speed of sound The Remains scattered at the bottom of the sea the only human survivors were the ones on Higher Ground the entire landscape of the Earth was changed the cause of the flood is still being debated some say it was caused
by the impact of a giant asteroid While others believe it was a massive solar event but zamit was exploring am Nidra in the early 1900s he didn't know anything about asteroids or solar storms but he did know the story of the great flood the flood was the wrath of God meant to destroy the Nephilim the flood was meant to kill the Giants the Nephilim are mentioned in the Book of Genesis they're described as Warriors who are large and strong the Bible doesn't go into much more detail than that but if we look to Holy texts
outside the Bible we get the full story The Book of Enoch is not included in the canonical Bible for most Jews and Christians but it's an important work especially within the Ethiopian Orthodox church and among Scholars of early Judaism and Christianity Book of Enoch linked below the book tells a story about the origins of evil it starts with a group of angels called the Watchers God entrusted them with the task of overseeing mankind and they provided order and guidance eventually the Angels rebelled they took human wives which was forbidden the Watchers were cast out from
heaven and forced to live in the Underworld but their evil remain on Earth the Watchers and their human wives had Offspring these hybrid beings were Mighty Giants called the Nephilim according to the Book of Enoch these Giants Reed havoc on Earth and are the Reason God created the flood he meant to destroy the children of the watchers from amongst men of course if the Nephilim were destroyed in the flood they'd be long gone before the early maltes farmers settled on the island but in the Book of Numbers there's more to the story Moses sends spies
to explore the land of Canaan they report that some Giants may have survived the flood the land through which we have gone to spy it out is a land that devours its inhabitants and all the people that we saw in it are of great height and there we saw the Nephilim and we seem to ourselves like Grasshoppers and so we seem to them the malti legend of SSA goes back thousands of years before the Bible was written yet that Legend aligns perfectly with what's told in The Book of Enoch senuna was a demigod stranded on
the island a giant who survived the flood and she wanted to continue her species bad idea but there were no other Giants on the island okay but she might have taken a human male as a mate that would explain the skulls wa wa wa wait skulls what skulls what skulls no no no no don't show the logo don't show the logo in 1902 the British Navy expanded its base in Malta and new Housing Development started popping up all over the islands on one job site workers were digging out an area for a large water tank
suddenly the ground gave way exposing an enormous underground chamber excavations revealed a subterranean Maze of rooms and burial Chambers zamit named the site the hypium the Greek word for underground what zamit found mirrored the megalithic temples above ground there are limestone walls and doorways the same slate floors the stonework is precise and massive zamon and his team were stunned by the size of this underground world then they discovered this was just the first level there were two more levels below maybe more and the hypium was full of well preserved artifacts the most common design was
the same found everywhere on the island the figure of a gianti s many parts of the hypium were used as a burial site that meant there would be bones zamit recovered the remains of more than 7,000 people some of the bodies date back to the Neolithic period he documented every bone he found until he got to a group of skulls he couldn't quite explain 12 of them the skulls were are elongated ah like alien heads well they do look like that but samit knew many cultures around the world used head binding to stretch their skulls
soz zamit had scientists examined them they confirmed that the long Cranium was natural not the result of bonding or boards but it gets even stranger every human skull has a seam between the two parietal bones it's called the sagittal suture when we're born our skulls are flexible that makes it easier for our big head to uh um Square out the baby shoot right as we grow the two halves of our skull fused together forming that seam but these elongated skulls had no seam at all that's impossible that seam is a key part of human development
ah so these skulls aren't human nope they didn't seem human well not completely human in 1920 National Geographic magazine reported that the first inhabitants of Malta were an alien race with elongated skulls now zamit would have called that crazy except he couldn't explain the skulls otherwise then he remembered the story of SSA sansu n part of the SSA Legend is that she carried Stones under one arm while cradling a baby in the other the child was a Nephilim human hybrid so let's go back to the skull for a second for a child to be born
with a fully formed skull it would have to travel through a very large baby shoot yes like that of a giant now maybe these skulls belong to the descendants of Sansa if they were human Nephilim hybrid children they would have the size and strength to carve and build the hypogeum now it's a fun story and adds to the legend but still this was conjecture there's no proof of giants living underground in the hypogeum until 1940 when someone saw them [Music] in August 1940 National Geographic magazine printed an interesting and disturbing story about Malta and the
hypium first the article reported that excavators discovered the bones of over 33,000 people who had been sacrificed by an ancient Pagan cult then there was the story of the children who went to the hypogeum on a school trip a school field trip to an underground cave with thousands of people were sacrificed in the cult yep yeah they must have signed one hell of a waiver with that permission slip huh well I hope so because the children went in and never came out what yep 30 school children and their teacher went down a passage they either
got lost or stuck behind the cave in because they were never seen again for weeks mothers declared that they had heard whaling and screaming from underground but numerous excavations and searching parties brought no trace of the Lost Souls after 3 weeks they were finally given up for dead dead to this day the children have never been found which brings us to the story of Lois [Music] Jessup she was in Malta with a few friends touring the various historical sites it was a hot summer afternoon so locals suggested they go see the hypo gum Not only
was it an amazing historical location it was underground it would be nice to get out of the Mediterranean sun when they found the entrance they hired a guide named Joe to give them a [Music] tour they weaved through various passageways and found the entrance to a mysterious looking cave on the walls were ancient carvings and Designs painted with red [Music] ochre the entrance smelled damp and moldy but once they entered the air F clean and dry their guide Joe told them there were three floors of underground rooms Joe gave Lois and each of her friends
a single lighted candle one by one Lois and her friends entered the Cave the passage was narrow so they had to crouch and walk single file they emerged into a large room with smooth Limestone walls the women laughed and talked and they noticed their voices were echoing and creating a strange humming sound Joe said the room was built thousands of years ago for a powerful Oracle the Oracle would perform Miracles using certain sounds Joe said the room would still work today if anyone knew the correct sound to use Lois and her friends followed Joe through
another narrow passage the ground was steep they were going down very far down into the deepest part of the hypogeum yeah I don't like where this is going do you mind sorry sorry I'm just trying to uh break the tension yeah I was building tension on purpose oh oops Lois wasn't sure how far down they went but her senses told her it must have been 20 or 30 ft the tunnel opened up to another large room cut into the walls were shelves Lois thought they look like beds or resting places she got a closer look
they were shaped like coffins Joe said they buried their dead in here he gestured to a slit in the wall and Lois realized there were slits carved all around the room evenly spaced she looked through one and saw skeletons Lois asked about them and Joe said they were prisoners and their remains could not be disturbed they looked around for a few more minutes then Joe said this is the end of the tour it's time to go back then Lois asked Joe what's down there she was pointing at a small sare doorway maybe 3 ft wide
Joe said if you go in there you go at your own risk and you won't go far now Lois felt like this was a challenge she grabbed the length of rope and tied it around her waist she passed the Rope to another friend who did the same and then another and another Lois and her three friends squeezed through the small opening oh like a baby shoot sorry sorry good the four Four Women disappeared down the dark chamber the other two stayed behind and waited with Joe it was dark but the women still had their candles
and they were having fun this type of Adventure was exactly what they were looking for finally the passage opened up and Lois was able to stand when she got to her feet she felt herself leaning forward she was starting to fall A Rush of cold air hit her in the face and she was yanked back now it's a good thing they use the rope Lois was on a Ledge no more than 2 ft wide then it was a sheer drop 50 ft down and from behind Lois heard a friend tell her to keep going they
were getting claustrophobic in the tunnel but Lois was frozen here's what she saw in her own words there across the cave from an opening deep below me emerged 20 persons of Giant stature in single file they walked along a narrow ledge their height I judg to be about 25 ft since their heads came about halfway up the opposite wall they walked very slowly taking long strides then they all stopped turned and raised their heads in my direction all simultaneously raised their arms and with with their hands beckoned me Terror rooted me to the spot another
gust of wind rushed up from the cavern this time blowing out Lo's candle and everything went [Music] black and then she started screaming she was in pure panic she heard herself yelling go back go back as she shoved her friends back the way they came the women spilled back into the room where Joe and the other two friends were waiting and Joe said nothing but Lois was suspicious I looked up at him eyes met I knew that at one time he had seen what I had seen there was an expression of caution in his eyes
adding to my reluctance to tell anyone I decided not to Lois turned to head back to the surface when Joe grabbed her arm he said if you're interested in exploring further you should join a group soon I'll be taking a teacher and her students down there I'm sure they'd enjoy the company I left my address with him and asked him to have the school teacher get in touch with me but I never heard any more about it until one of my friends told me to read the paper a few months later Lois returned to the
hypogeum and found another guide she wanted to know about the teacher and the children but the guide Shrugged and said he couldn't talk about it Lois still wanted answers she asked where's Joe the other guide the man said ma'am I alone have been the guide of this catacomb for years I don't know anyone named Joe Lois went to respond but something about this man frightened her so she left and though it had been her favorite place in the world to visit she never went back to Malta never again [Music] the islands of Malta are steeped
in Legends Giants riding comets and building huge temples underground cities were the descendants of the Nephilim hiy capturing any human who wanders a bit too far elongated skulls that appear more alien than human but how much of this is true quite a lot of it actually but not all of it the temples on Malta and goo remain a mystery no one knows for sure who built these structures or why they remain among the earliest freestanding structures in the world mainstream archaeology debated the age of the temples for years saying they couldn't be older than 2600
BC the Bronze Age but carbon dating shows they're at least a thousand years older than that that's a proven fact as to whether they go back to the younger dras there's no physical evidence but the solar alignment theory about am Nidra is true it would align perfectly if it was built between 12 and 13,000 years ago we just just can't prove it but for years mainstream science did get the age of these sites wrong they were built during a time before humans had the tools to work Stone so precisely they were built before the wheel
they were built before riding but there they are you couldn't build these things without very Advanced engineering and Logistics nobody has yet to explain how this could have been achieved as for the Giants s the giant bones Abella found in the 1600s turned out to be from elephants not actual Giants so above ground there's no evidence of giants below ground things get a little more complicated but let's clear up a few things first zamit didn't find 7,000 skeletons he found about 7,000 bones in all about 120 individual skeletons have been identified as for the 33,000
sacrifices there's no evidence of that 120 people that's all we got as for the missing children that's an urban legend locals think it was a story parents told their children to keep them out of the hium in fact in the catacombs under St Paul's Basilica and Rober Malta there's a wall painting that tells a story of a group of children disappearing in the caves underground as a warning now Lois jessup's story is interesting she was a real person and she really did write that story I quoted some of it but it's probably just a story
the types of rooms she describes don't exist in the lower levels of the hypm now now sure she might have stumbled into a secret level known only to Giants but you can't get much lower before you're underwater the curators of the hypm said that if she was in a flooded chamber with a candle Reflections might have disoriented her now that could be true but the fact that her story includes the missing children is what debunks it if a whole group of children went missing in the 20th century there'd be reports of it and there aren't
in 1940 National Geographic magazine wasn't as mainstream as it is today it often included stor of the fantastic and the bizarre yeah I wish they'd go back to that me too now the elongated skulls are a bit of a conundrum sir Tami zamit was actually trained as a doctor so he knew a lot about Anatomy physiology and craniology he documented the skulls as being of the long-headed type and that's about all he said the skulls were hidden from the public for years which only fueled speculation but they were finally put on display just a couple
of years ago they are long-headed but at least one of them appears to have been artificially lengthened by binding like many cultures do but not all the skulls now the Skeptics will say that elongation is genetic yeah alien genetics or with the skulls elongated as a way of worshiping a prehistoric God was actually an alien ancient astronaut theorists say yes maybe they're still being studied now I didn't know much about the mysteries of Malta before researching this episode and stories about Giants I do those because people like them not because I believe them but but
the Temple of am Nidra really threw me off the sun really would line up with the structure perfectly at the end of the younger dras over 12,000 years ago now I don't know how many times the younger dras and the great flood have come up on this channel but we're 3 years in and they've come up a lot when I first started the wi files I believed almost none of these stories and most of them are still bunk they're fun but they're bunk but there have been a few episodes that after researching made me a
little bit of a Believer not a full believer but much more open-minded I don't know maybe I've been doing this too long and the tin foil is seeping into my brain ah you get used to it I was once a complete non-believer but now after years of research I believe the moon might be Hollow crop circles are real and I'm starting to believe that maybe at one point very long ago great megalithic structures were built by a race of giants but if that true where's the evidence well there wouldn't be any because when the great
flood came the Giants boarded their chariots took to the sky and went back home thank you so much for hanging out today my name is AJ that's eckle fish this has been the wi files if you had fter learned anything do him a favor subscribe comment like share share that stuff really makes him happy and like most topics we cover here today's was recommended by you so if there's a story you'd like to see or learn more about go to the W files.com tips and remember the yfiles is also a podcast twice a week I
