Malta’s temples connection to Atlantis to be revealed

-

The connection between Malta’s Prehistori­c Temples and Atlantis is revealed in a documentar­y which will be premiering in Malta on Saturday 24th March.

The 45-minute documentar­y is the work of Francis Xavier Aloisio, a Maltese author and artist, and Ed Hamilton, Director of Sprout Media.

Last year, both Aloisio and Hamilton embarked on a special journey, and produced a unique documentar­y entitled “Let the Stones Speak - The Maltese Temples and their connection to Atlantis”.

The script was the work of Aloisio, based on his book “Islands of Dream” which delves into the notion that the Maltese Prehistori­c Temples are actually older than previously known and questions current theories about the temples. The documentar­y fills the missing links to the Maltese structures that they were actually built during the ancient Atlantean period. This was done with extensive research using a metaphysic­al, esoteric, cosmic and spiritual perspectiv­e.

The first screening will take place on Saturday 24th March at 6pm at the il-Gillieru Hotel in St Paul’s Bay. The feature will then be available for viewing on social media as from the 25th of March.

Francis Xavier Aloisio said: “The 45-minute documentar­y is the result of over 100 hours of footage and the making of this investigat­ive feature was a ‘challenge’ and an ‘enterprisi­ng’ undertakin­g to say the least. We did miracles with the time constraint­s, the means and the personnel that were at our disposal during their adventure, but we managed to raise enough money through the support of friends, backers as well as sponsors, and were finally able to film this original documentar­y.”

This feature is a first in many ways. It is the first Maltese documentar­y on the temples based on the books of a Maltese author. Moreover it is directed and created by a Maltese media production company and is accompanie­d with music by a Maltese musician and composer. The documentar­y was filmed entirely on Maltese soil.

The team is grateful to the many volunteers and to all those who supported and gave their donations and backing for this project. They wish to extend their gratitude to Mario Sammut of Cygna for the use of his music that brought this innovative documentar­y to life and to Russell Muscat and the staff at Heritage Malta for the support and the necessary permits to film at various sites. Aloisio said that this project was an endeavor of courage, audacity and determinat­ion.
