MALTA | One of the Most Interesting Places on Earth

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

No, I'm not back in Malta all of a sudden. I decided to skip over some of my videos of Malta from when I was there a few weeks ago and am now going back and editing those videos. There will be a few more videos from Malta coming next, some more Greece videos and then I will be traveling to another country sometime soon. Hint: it won't be a Mediterranean island, but something completely different. UPDATE: When I mentioned that I'd just visited an old quarry at 12:17 in the video I wasn't referring to the modern one I showed, but another one. I made a separate video showing that quarry, which you can watch here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3LLdKmCmdV0bs0

I'm glad that you cleared the time warp up because I was wondering how you grew a full beard in like a day and a half lol

Please visit Australia or New Zeland in the near future

I speculate that Norway or another Scandinavian country is your next destination. Enjoy your incredible journey at the Greek islands until then and share it with us. Greetings from a Greek who lives in Scandinavia!

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

WOW! Gabriel thank you for going back and showing us these, ruts, caves and the temple. Approximately 60a.d the Apostle Paul was ship wrecked on Malta and stayed in a cave. Maybe one you visited. Thanks for taking us along! ~Cara ❤

[@mlt1882]

I’m Maltese and have been following you before you came here in 2019.. thank you for visiting and showing my country ❤

[@travelmaltaculture]

Beautiful Malta, thanks again for visiting our beautiful islamds

[@travellingismypassion]

That is typical Maltese peppered white cheese, in Maltese called ġbejna (singular) & ġbejniet (plural)

[@travelmaltaculture]

The English word is cheeselet

[@พัฒนาศรมยุรา]

I just travelled there, Malta. It has so many places to see, many dishes to eat, and many activities to explore. The historic center is stunningly beautiful.

[@livingmycolours]

Another great video Gabriel! I'm a new KZbinr. I've been watching your videos for a few years and I have to say that you've been an inspiration. The world of travel vlogging has changed but you've stayed unique and true, love that! Keep doing what you do 👍

[@marafarnham595]

Spectacular views! Gorgeous! 😊😎☀️🌊

[@danielaamritha340]

Ma goodness...I know all these temples, showing out of nowhere with direct access, no roofs, no entry fee, no shop!!! Unbelievable! Thank you for showing. Great vid. I'll not be back😂

[@markaquilina1108]

14:24 is a Gbejna. Type of cheese from goat milk. That globe thing in Dingli Cliffs is a radar and beacon for airplanes/airport.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I see, thanks for the info.

[@savneetbrar1371]

I look forward to your videos everyday. I want to travel exactly the way you do.

[@sabrinastraveladventures4263]

This was super interesting I had no idea! I will investigate more! Thanks Gabriel Sabrina 🇫🇷🇬🇧

[@realitytheorist4205]

The cart ruts go to the seashore and then continue under the sea also I believe - try to explain that with the soil transfer theory..

[@Bo-tz4nw]

Great tourist selfies here, thanks a lot!

[@TheNinjaMarmot]

Loved Malta, one of my fav places on this earth I've been to.

[@manomenon1]

You liar, you never visited Malta

[@omachkar]

I usually watch your excellent videos using my TV so it is not that easy to give you a thump up all the time as I like too!

[@tomtwinspear7552]

They have that type of tracks in many states in the west and southwest of the US,

[@sunnybeachwalks4k2022]

Beautiful

[@BusyBrittain]

Perhaps they used some kind of liquid based powdered technology in order to make the necessary grooves for the track

[@redhorse554det1]

great story telling. very interesting

[@lostinthekerf]

I think the ruts are left from a method of quarrying that has been lost. The loose rocks for the walls you see are the results of this quarrying.

[@travelmaltaculture]

The spherical object was the Dingli Aviation Radar which you saw.

[@fithealthbod]

Nice to see lovely footage of Malta, you were right about the cheese you ate, it is Maltese Cheese( Gbejniet) in Maltese. You can purchase peppered cheese or plain, I love them both. Thanks for the video, I always miss Malta

[@nadinedunkle7215]

Awesome

[@claudiaberger9639]

9:00 I think this is a military radar station. Such radar domes are more common in Europe.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

A few people have stated that it's air traffic control for the nearby airport.

[@charlottethien3749]

Gabriel , Just wondering if you saw sign of the British having a navy base there . When then Princess Elizabeth married Phillip , they were stationed in Malta . She lived a regular navy wife , shopping for groceries etc . She loved it there . Later she became Queen and couldn’t live a regular life.

[@JMG72ARG]

megalithic ruins always make the imagination soar, great vid!

[@pleasantjourneys]

Nice room

[@SaveShop]

Great Video ❤❤❤❤❤

[@tombuddy100]

I think civilizations on Mediterranean islands, such as Crete or Malta, predate Greek and Roman (continental) civilizations. It is sort of like pyramids were already ancient history to Cleopatra.

[@wilfredotorres6628]

Hi Gabreil, these ancient cart ruts were done when the terrain was difference much more pliable stone wheels carved into the existing terrain more modern than the Megalithic temples of Malta. Those giant stones weigh tons. You must ask yourself what form of technology did these ancient civilizations have to move tons of weight thousands of years ago when today with modern equipment, it would be a challenge. There are many theories that they use sound waves but how exactly?

[@wokenup5273]

The dome building was Air traffic control I believe.

[@dzonikg]

Been to Valleta Malta few year ago ...one thing i really did not like is there is totaly no green in streets and city,no trees at all..so in summer its totally not possible to be outside in a day

[@mf5531]

excellent video. all your vids are really good. i'll be in sicily in october - after seeing this, i may take a 2-day side trip to malta. 14:27 calamari??

[@diannetaylor8494]

That dome building with the towers looks like aeronautical radar station

[@wendymoore7641]

If they were transporting a really heavy load the ruts would prevent the cart from slipping on an incline and keeping the carts on course. ?

[@JohnCane-bt2rl]

Plenty of nice slate and stone and bricks and blocks and concrete

[@somejohndoe3004]

Cart ruts: stone, solidified volcanic ash or some kind of geopolymer ? 🤔

[@dansouth2088]

Just my opinion on the ruts. In Pompeii, those ruts were carved from the carts themselves. These ruts on Malta look like hand-hewn pathways for carts. In other words, man-made. I mean just look at the temples on the west coast of Malta. There are blocks of stone that are 40 tons that have been hewn and transported over the landscape and set into place. How did they do that 5500 years ago?? We think we are so advanced but the ancients were more amazing without our modern technology. PS - The archeological museum on the main street in Valletta is well worth the visit.

[@quinnerefc]

Apparently the carts didn't ware the rocks down over many years - the tracks were purposely carved for the carts, like you say about 3000 years ago.

[@joyzammit2731]

[@santaclawz4431]

This reminds me a lot of Rhodes ,makes sense since they were both occupied by the crusaders at some point

[@Mikes_Travels]

Could the dates on the church and the festival Gabe refer to a celebration of the Church standing for 425 years ?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

That's certainly possible.

[@Mikes_Travels]

@GabrielTravelerVideos love the way you've mixed up the Greek Island hopping with looking back again at Malta. Keep safe

[@coleenoliva291]

Of all things (you already know how much I love your videos) I have to comment on your shirt. It is FABULOUS. I am tripping on the pattern, it looks like Klimt or???? Did you get it in Greece? And as always, thank you SO much Gabe for taking us around the world with you, and always pointing the camera the right direction. You are, by far, the best. Stay safe.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Cool, glad you like the shirt. See this video for an explanation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4m7lpyJfdN1lZY

[@dweathereddecorator]

Being that wide and that close together I would say they where sled tracks not carts. Not that I'm an expert but makes more sense to me 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@tombuddy100]

Have literally all buildings been made using stone blocks on Malta? What about new buildings constructed nowadays?

[@sunnygillstar8661]

i was wondering how you grew your beard back so fast

[@vanhouten64]

Is either Sicily or Africa visible from Malta, or are they too far away?

[@josephschembri6332]

You can see Sicily on a clear day

[@nospringchicken2211]

All the carts would have to be the same width. I am thinking lost technology not just random use.

[@sirapos6550]

What language do they speak in Malta ?

Maltese, which is an interesting mix of Italian and Arabic.

Very, very interesting. I don't it's in any way credible to think 'cavemen' would have spent many hundreds of years carving those caves so precisely. 'History' is not what we have been told.

Gabriel, I’ve been following and loving your videos for a few years. Your shots only show brief glimpses of your entire body, but on this video my suspicions were confirmed. Bruh, your wardrobe looks like Pink Floyd had a baby with Jerry Garcia. I mean, didn’t your mother tell you about wearing tie dye with leopard print?! 😂 Ok, I’ll quit busting your chops. Carry on!

He has countless times stated he traveled 80+ nations and Greece is his favorite country on earth. I do hope that Gabriel is going to visit many other secret Greek islands but also the mainland. He is doing the mainland severe injustice so far by not visiting it.

The Most Interesting Places on Earth are the ones that are very affordable.

This is noit worth seeing . Come to india and move around , you can see more intricate well preserved constructions of prehistoric structure in the form temples , forts , palaces , agriculture related water canals etc.
