"The repertoire of ancient Egyptian remains in the Maltese islands is that is is distributed along a time frame that pre-dates the arrival in Malta of the Phoenicians in the 8th century BC, extending way backwards in time towards the end of the 3rd millennium BC". " There are traces of the connections in the 12th Dynasty with Malta and even farther west". "The ancient Egyptians themselves were responsible for bringing their own artifacts to the Maltese islands during the Middle and New Kingdoms.As for the documented historical origins of the chief architect of the Ancient Egyptian structures and pyramids, please read:Imhotep the African, Architect of the Cosmos by Robert Bauval and Thomas Brophy. "In this groundbreaking book, Egyptologist Robert Bauval and astrophysicist Thomas Brophy uncover the mystery of Imhotep, an ancient Egyptian. Based on their research at the Step Pyramid Complex at Saqqara, Bauval and Brophy delve into observational astronomy to "decode" the alignments and other design features of the Step Pyramid Complex, to uncover the true origins and genius of Imhotep. They follow the clues that take them on an tour starting at Saqqara, leading them to temples in Upper Egypt and to the stones of Nabta Playa and the archeo-astronomers who placed them there.Also consider, "Black Genesis: The Prehistoric Origins of Ancient Egypt" by Robert Bauval. In the work Robert Bauval presents proof that an advanced ancient African civilization inhabited the Sahara long before Pharaonic Egypt:• Reveals Africa to be at the genesis of ancient civilization and the human story.• Examines extensive studies into the lost civilization of the “Star People” by renowned anthropologists, archaeologists, genetic scientists, and cultural historians as well as the authors’ archaeoastronomy and hieroglyphics research.• Deciphers the history behind the mysterious Nabta Playa ceremonial area and its stone calendar circle and megaliths.Relegated to the realm of archaeological heresy, despite a wealth of hard scientific evidence, the theory that an advanced civilization of Africans settled in the Sahara long before Pharaonic Egypt existed has been dismissed and even condemned by conventional Egyptologists, archaeologists, and the Egyptian government. Uncovering compelling new evidence, Egyptologist Robert Bauval and astrophysicist Thomas Brophy present the anthropological, climatological, archaeological, geological, and genetic research supporting this hugely debated theory of the African origin of Egyptian civilization.Building upon extensive studies from the past four decades and their own archaeo-astronomical and hieroglyphic research, the authors show how the early black culture known as the Cattle People not only domesticated cattle but also had a sophisticated grasp of astronomy; created plentiful rock art at Gilf Kebir and Gebel Uwainat; had trade routes to the Mediterranean coast, central Africa, and the Sinai; held spiritual and occult ceremonies; and constructed a stone calendar circle and megaliths at the ceremonial site of Nabta Playa reminiscent of Stonehenge, yet much older. Revealing these “Star People” as the true founders of ancient Egyptian civilization, this book completely rewrites the history of world civilization, placing Africa back in its rightful place at the center of mankind’s origins."Sworn in Secret" exports the origins of Ancient Egyptian archeo-astronomy to the Island of Malta, "an extremely small archipelago in the central Mediterranean with a surface are that doesn't exceed four hundred and eighty square kilometers, without any evidence, why? The island of Malta possesses no valuable natural resources, grain is insufficient and water supplies low and their only value lies in their strategic position in the Sicilian straits situated centrally between the eastern and western basins of the Mediterranean".The best connection, fairly well substantiated between the Knights Templar and Freemasonry is a book by the late author, John Robinson, "Born in Blood". There is a singular error or so in Mr. Robinson's book relating the Knights Templars escape from prosecution/persecution with their being a connection between them and "Pirates, Corsairs". In this, it appears that Mr. Robinson imagined a possible connection where there isn't one, as his mention of the "Pirates, Corsairs" is merely him citing a passage from a work by author, Alexander Dumas. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read, great insight *by C***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 2, 2022* I could not put this book down. The author did wonders examining and cross referencing many events from similar time periods to produce a convincing conclusion. This book is like a thriller, suspense, a must read. Keep up the good work. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the best book about the history of Freemasonry that I have ... *by C***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 7, 2015* This is the best book about the history of Freemasonry that I have ever read. That is because most books I've seen that delved into the history of Freemasonry have been written by people who were simply Freemasons. This book is written by someone who is both a Freemason and a historian, and it shows in his reasoning and in the depth of detail about the Knights Templar and the times in which they lived that you just can't get from Masonic writers such as Pike and Mackey. They are good, but Holst is more modern and has a more readable writing style than they, along with his wealth of research.Holst makes, to my mind, a very good argument for there to be a connection between the Knights Templar and Freemasonry, and it is consistent with what I already know about linguistics and life in the medieval era. It is also not the typical argument that I've seen.
