Mnajdra Temple | Stunning Equinox Alignment in Ancient Malta | Megalithomania
Explore Megalithic Malta and Gozo in March 2024, including private access to the Equinox Sunrise at Mnajdra Temples & Ħaġar Qim and lots more. Hosted by Jim Vieira, Hugh Newman and JJ Ainsworth: www.megalithomania.co.uk/malta.... The temples at Mnajdra were built over a long time and in various epochs starting in around 3400 BC, although Lenie Reedijk (who recently appeared on 'Ancient Apocalypse') in her book 'Sirius: The Star of the Maltese Temples' suggests it could be much older. It is made of coralline limestone, which is much harder than the soft globigerina limestone of Ħaġar Qim. On the vernal and the autumnal equinoxes, sunlight passes through the main doorway and lights up the major axis. The Megalithomania group had private access on the morning of March 22nd 2023 to witness this phenomenon. Also, on both of the solstices, sunlight illuminates the edges of megaliths to the left and right of this doorway.

Get in and take a look! 😁
YEAH BUDDY
Thank-you so much! As always, it was very interesting and informative. Keep them coming!
amazing
The textured dimples of the limestone is fascinating. never seen that before. Thanks for sharing 👍👍
Thank you, Hugh! Another season has begun.
Been there!
Thanks for the great documentaries and congrats on so many subs!
Fantastic dimple marks on that portal doorway, fantastic experience enjoyed the video immensely
Another wonderful site that once again, at least to me, looks to be an ancient seed vault. A very safe, cool and dry place for long term seed storage. Complete with an impossible to miss seasonal timer, signaling when to sow the sealed and protected seeds within. Tight fitting walls to keep out any moisture or vermin that would eat the precious seeds. I see they even included a "Snakes in Use" sign on the entranceway floor that they likely used to further ensure any mice, rats or even birds didn't try nesting within their well-maintained seed vault. As for the multitude of small cup marks on the other section, I'm fairly certain they were purposely made to utilize a rich lichen growth such as Calcareous Rimmed Lichen. A common lichen they smartly used as bioprotection, serving here as a stone-binding and sealing agent. I'd say it's akin to 'growing a gasket'. I'd therefore also say their most valued generational seeds would have been kept in that extra-sealed section. Using the age old adage, Form Follows Function, I clearly see a well built and well maintained seed vault. Great vid Hugh, thanks for showing the snake on the floor. I'm glad you caught that.
😎🤙
What a great experience. I can't wait to go back there. I have some interesting pics of this site. Furthermore, I'll post to your Twitter post.
Mi dà la completa impressione di un monumento rimaneggiato
Very interesting!! Weird seeing people with hats and coats on though. Last time i was there was like being in the desert, so hot!! Are you by any chance visiting those caverns underneath Valetta? Only just found out they exist recently!!
Megalithomaniacs. That word is art. 🎨💎
Are those bird chirps or is that some other audio issue?
I’m glad it worked out. I’m wondering how many ancient priests said, damnit! The clouds! Who’s a cloud disintegrator?? Anyone?? Poop. There’s always next year 🫤 😂 lol
Dimples or pitted surfaces ?
What does it look like the day before and the day after?

Chambers of resonance ? Sound it out.
This is going to sound daft - those stone at 0.55 look very similar to Igloo's i.e the way they slot together could there be a connection to the way they are built. ( daft May be Not) food for thought.
those marks are probably from mollusks when this site was under water..it is probably like 20 thousand years old

Viewing these alignments are a lost part of mysticism, and do not feature in current religions.
There's a rough map to the left of the main entrance of lower Egypt . Faiyum appearing as a hole with the lake appearing as the shaded area of he hole .
