Connection between Malta's temples and Atlantis highlighted in documentary

A documentary on the connection between Malta’s Prehistoric Temples and Atlantis will be premiering in Malta on March 24 at the il-Gillieru Hotel in St Paul’s Bay at 6pm

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 men embarked on a special journey, and produced the documentary “Let the Stones Speak - The Maltese Temples and their connection to Atlantis”.

The script was the work of Mr 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.

Following the first screening, the feature will be available for viewing on social media.

Mr 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, 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 the first Maltese documentary on the temples based on the books of a Maltese author. 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 now looks forward to working on their next installment in the coming year.

Music for the documentary was provided by Mario Sammut of Cygna. Heritage Malta provided the support and necessary permits for filming at various sites.
