Malta vandalized - for Dean

Dean,

I found this on another board that I read and thought you might be
interested in it. I have asked for a link since none was posted and if
I get it, I'll post it here. Funny too, I have searched mainstream
news and can't find a thing about this.

Walls come tumbling down
Vandals destroy ancient ruins in Malta

By Linda C. Eneix

Some disturbing news came from the small island
nation of Malta on
Easter Sunday. Sources reported that vandals had
broken into the
Mnajdra prehistoric temple site and dislodged more
than 60 megaliths.
The entire middle temple of the 5,500 year-old
complex was virtually
destroyed in the incident. The perpetrators appear
to have been
interrupted before they could attack the
southernmost temple, which is
believed to contain important alignments and
inscriptions that have not
yet been interpreted by scholars.

Restoration architect Alex Torpiano explained that
the dismantling of
the stones revealed sections that had originally
been filled with soil and
other loose material, which had been washed in by
rainwater over the
years. He also confirmed that in several sections
of the temple, the
heavily eroded base stones might not withstand the
weight of the
megaliths if they were put back in their original
positions. The heaviest
of the toppled stones is thought to weigh more
than two and a half
tons.

Conservation initiatives for the temples have been
pending for several
years. It is likely that a miniature laboratory
will be required at Mnajdra
to determine the most practical intervention for
that site.

I liked the story where a school teacher and a class of children were lost
while exploring a vast underground tunnel system under Malta. It seems they
were never found and the tunnel system was closed off to the public. I
think this was in one of Beckley's books. From: Ralph

MaTa,

It makes you wonder. First of all, why? And second of all, how could vandals
do this and get away with it? Malta is a rather enclosed place with little
tree cover. If some kids went racing off in a car, wouldn't they have been
seen?

Very interesting.

Thank you Lesley!

Yes Dean,
'Why' is the question. And 2 and half ton megaliths don't just come
down too easily. Wouldn't that require some heavy duty equipment to
move them?

Members,

In the book Etidorhpa, the initial guide of The Man, the surface guide, made
a comment about how their organization had a network of sorts on the
surface, spanning all orders of society including academia. Now notice these
comments by a person who wrote on the Man's disappearance:

CAPTAIN WILLIAM MORGAN, of New York, an intelligent man, and an inflexible
republican, convinced of the dangers of Secret Societies, in a free
Government, resolved to use his best endeavors for their suppression. Being
a Royal Arch Mason, he had witnessed the corruption of the Institution. He
saw it was an engine of personal advantage and political aggrandizement;
that it gave to its members unfair advantages and extra privileges over the
unsuspecting community; that its insidious influence extended to every
transaction in society, raising as it were the Masonic combination unto a
PRIVILEGED ORDER, who, under the Royal Names of GRAND KINGS, Grand
Sovereigns, and Grand High Priests, in darkness and secrecy, ruled and
plundered the people. CAPTAIN MORGAN was a soldier and a brave man. He saw
this detestable conspiracy and he dared to risk his life by bursting its
shackles and warning an injured people! He was seized by a gang of Masonic
desperadoes, who came 60 miles after him, in the morning about sunrise,
Sept. 11, 1826, under a pretended process of law, (in the manner Mr. Jacob
Allen was taken by Masons at Reading) and carried 60 miles, and placed for
safe keeping in a county jail, in the care of a masonic jailer. Thence he
was taken in stillness of the night, crying murder! murder! and transported
one hundred miles further, and placed in a U.S. fortress, also in the
keeping of a Mason. Here Mr. Giddin's account commences. Thus it appears
that our county jails and our national fortresses are all at the service of
the Masons, to carry their bloody schemes of kidnapping and murder into
execution. Will a free and patriotic people submit to these things in
silence! Fellow citizens! Read this pamphlet, and answer the question, ought
a secret society to exist amongst us whose members can commit murder and yet
escape punishment? MASONS HAVE done this, and their brethren, as may be seen
by the oaths on our last page, are sworn to protect them.

MaTa,

Maybe the vandals came from below, not above.
