Expedition Malta

All across Malta are mysterious parallel tracks in the rock. The origin of these so-called “cart ruts” is something that both conventional scientists and proponents of the “ancient astronauts” theory have been puzzling over for decades.

Many of these mystifying tracks run directly into the sea and continue along the seabed. They are reported to have been seen at depths of more than 40 meters.

There have also long been theories about ancient temples built over 10,000 years ago, which are said to have sunk into the sea after the end of the last ice age. Researcher Hubert Zeitlmair believes that lying off the coast of Malta are the ruins of a megalithic temple, which he has named “Gebel Gol Bahar”.
Personally I find many of his other theses and theories rather unconvincing, but the area, wich we explored in a few initial dives, is really fascinating: structures that suggest the ruins of megalithic masonry, a circular pillar foundation, a plateau that appears man-made, etc.

Together with a team of professional divers, we will explore the entirety of the supposed temple site for evidence of artificial origin and, most importantly, photographically document and survey it. The photo material will then be independently examined and assessed by geologists.

We also aim to trace the underwater route of the “cart ruts” more closely. How deep can the “cart ruts” be found? And where do the undersea tracks end?

The sea level is likely to have risen steadily since the end of the last ice age; even at what conventional scientists believe to be the time of the purported temple, it was probably several meters lower than it is today. However, if “cart ruts” or ruins could be documented at much greater depths than 10 meters below the current sea level, this would be unequivocal proof that a mysterious advanced culture existed on Malta around 10,000 years ago.
What other secrets might this enigmatic island still be hiding from us? And could we perhaps find some answers there about the mysterious secrets of the past?

The aim of the project is to study the sea floor around Malta closely for evidence of civilization. Anyone who is interested in the subjects of “ancient astronaust” theory and archaeology, who has a taste for adventure and lost civilizations, and who wants to uncover the secrets of the past.

There is far too little work on these undersea tracks in orthodox research. Often, the theories regarding them are connected to esotericism and “crackpot” ideas (sometimes not entirely without justification). Because of this, significant discoveries may remain unexplored.
The entire project itself, as well as the preparations for it, will be documented in two ways:
Supporters will have the entire venture introduced to them in short films showing our preparatory work and outlining the various conjectures and theories about the island of Malta, the “cart ruts”, and so forth.
Then of course we will also film the expedition itself, our investigation of the “cart ruts”, the dives, the findings, etc.
Our preparations and the expedition itself will also be presented in short PDF articles.

Excerpts from the short films will be cut together with additional material into a short documentary.
