What if Malta was on the main shipping route to Atlantis, the capital city of the Mediterranean empire before the Younger Dryas period began 14,000 years ago with the Clovis meteor strikes?
Look at the location and the form/size of the Richat structure which corresponds to Plato's account of Atlantis. Plato tells us that Atlantis was destroyed by the sea in a single night. That is called Tsunami. You can see the traces of the gigantic tsunami that swept in from the ocean 400 km to the west.
Now follow those lines, and you will see that if that part of Africa was about 1500 meters lower, 14 millenia ago, then Atlantis would have been on an island, like Plato says, and there would have been a sea route straight to Malta.
We know that at this time period, the Sahara was a green and fertile region with wild animals being hunted and people doing rock paintings of this stuff. Ancient Egypt claims to be a distant eastern outpost of Atlantis, in other words, Egyptian culture and myth originated in what is now the Sahara.
