      The Zodiac of Malta - The Tal Qadi Stone Enigma - Kai Helge Wirth

      2016

      1. Status Quo of research

      The engraved slab discovered on Malta and exhibited in Valletta's Museum of Archaeology has been the object of several interpretative studies. Previous theories have claimed the following assertions:

      The gravures represent a moon

      The gravures show astral constellations

      The gravures are to preserve priest knowledge

      The gravures are to show the entrance to a temple

      The gravures' purpose is to evoke multiple impressions

      To validate an interpretation of the slab some aspects must be ignored, others added

      The artefact is approximately dated at 3000 years B.C.

      2. Previous theories

      2.1. Crescent Moon theory

      In his work Kosmische Kultstätten der Welt, von Stonehenge bis zu den Maya-Tempeln Ken Taylor develops the theory that the engraving in the star-free zone represents the Moon.¹

      The claim of a crescent Moon on the Maltese slab is based on the methodology of analogy. Only those aspects of the image have been considered that correspond with other familiar and comparable representations.

      When, however, a procedure of strict formal analysis is applied, whereby actual formal elements of the total work and its correlations are studied, results based on actual analysis can be reached, far removed from personal interpretation or mere association.

      This procedure has been convincingly applied in the analyses performed by Prof. H.W.Wirth.²

      Under such close examination of the form it becomes apparent that we are dealing with neither semi- nor third- circular part that might justify identification with the Moon. On the contrary: close scrutiny and correct illumination leave no doubt that the engraving was performed to a high degree of subtle differentiation³.

      In fact there exists a totally different overall picture.(cf. III.10)

      Conclusion 1

      The Moon Theory is proven untenable on the basis of aesthetic form analysis.

      2.2. Temple theory

      A second theory the Templetheory presents the idea that astral symbols and a temple entrance are depicted on the stone. The crescent- shaped form interpreted as crescent moon in the aforesaid theory is deemed to show the temple entrance of Tal Quadi, the place where the stone was found. Astral groups depicted in limited zones are said to correspond to three definite signs of the zodiac. The author writes that his research is drawn from images on a Celtic sword, that, in his view, are
