In Malta lies an incredible underground complex dating back over 5000 years, known as the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum. This World Heritage Site is an ancient temple containing the remains of 7,000 humans. Among these remains, strange, elongated skulls were found, demonstrating baffling anomalies which have confounded experts for over a century. But why are they so strange? Who did they belong to? Could they be from another world, as some people have suggested? Why have some of them mysteriously disappeared?
