Sirius, The Star Of The Maltese Temples:
Unlocking Ancient Astronomical Secrets
Revolutionary Research Reveals the True Antiquity of
Malta's Megalithic Culture
About the book Sirius, the Star of the Maltese Temples
For too long, the significance of the extraordinary Temples of Malta has been misunderstood or overlooked. While these remarkable Stone Age monuments have fascinated researchers for centuries, their true purpose has remained hidden beneath ingrained preconceptions and incomplete inquiry.
The groundbreaking research presented in Sirius, the Star of the Maltese Temples provides the first comprehensive solution to the mysteries surrounding these ancient structures. This isn't just another archaeological theory - it's a complete paradigm shift backed by rigorous mathematical analysis.
The Astronomical Key to the Temples of Malta
Maltese university professors George Agius and Frank Ventura provided the groundwork by applying mathematical probability testing to prove what no one ever suspected: the distribution of the temple orientations toward the southeast and southwest is not random, but follows a systematic pattern
The breakthrough came when stellar movements provided the answer. The Temples of Malta align with Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, offering a perspective that revolutionises our understanding of when these monuments were actually built.
A Mesolithic Civilization More Advanced Than Previously Imagined
This astronomical alignment reveals that the temples of Malta are far older than commonly accepted - dating to the Mesolithic period immediately following the last Ice Age. This places them on a par with Göbekli Tepe in Turkey, fundamentally challenging our assumptions about Stone Age human accomplishments.
The implications are enormous: our Mesolithic ancestors possessed sophisticated knowledge of architecture and astronomy thousands of years earlier than we ever thought
The Complete Archaeological Picture
With 66 megalithic remains recorded across 43 locations on Malta and Gozo, this represents a staggering number of megalithic sites. Sirius, the Star of the Maltese Temples reveals the full story behind the temples’ unique design and astronomical orientation.
Ranging from the famous sites of Ggantija, Hagar Qim and Mnajdra to the lesser-known temples and lost sites scattered across the Maltese islands, every structure contributes to our understanding of this remarkable ancient civilization.
And last but not least, the book also reveals why most people had never even heard of them.
