| Video Discription | The Hypogeum of Ħal Saflieni in Malta oozes mystery and has so many rumours about it, that it’s hard to separate fact from fiction. In this video I give a detailed overview of this mysterious underground complex built by the temple people over five thousands years ago. The megalith builders came to Malta in the Neolithic period and created stunning monuments where they practiced rituals that are little understood today. The Hypogeum Ħal Saflieni is thought to have been a both a necropolis and a sanctuary during the time it was in use, although there are many reasons why its history might be more complex than that. Stunning artefacts and beautiful artwork were discovered during excavations which are similar to the overground temples, as well as having their own unique attributes. Find out more about the ochre spirals, the sleeping lady and the conical stones in this episode. #ancienthistory #ancientmysteries #hypogeum #malta ✨ IN THIS EPISODE 00:00 Introduction 00:16 Excavation History 02:34 Structural Features 08:58 Wall Decorations 10:14 Interesting Finds 13:07 Human Bones 16:18 Weird Stones ✨ SUPPORT VIA PATREON https://www.patreon.com/MegalithHunter ✨ FOLLOW ME ON SOCIALS Instagram & Facebook: @MegalithHunter Twitter: @Megalith_Hunter ✨ REFERENCES Bonanno, A., (2017).
