The Cave of Darkness (Ghar il-Kbir: Malta-11/2001((NOW! In English and Spanish)), Other : iPedia

Advance: of most places I’ve traveled in the world [683,000-miles throughout], Malta has been for the most part, always on my top-ten list, of all-round places to go. It has a ting of everything. Ghar Dalam, otherwise known as the ‘Cave of Darkness,’ was used for habitation by prehistoric man, 5000 BC, and animals, and thereafter. There have been found human bones and teeth in the cave, as well as a gathering of animal bones from time immemorial. There also is a legend of a sea creature that surfaced and seemed to live within this area (in the 17th century). I had written a trilogy of the ‘Tiamat.’ In one of the books I used this cave [not in name] as a backdrop for the story. It is huge, and quite the picture for a living environment. In l729, there was an engraving done of the cave life in Ghar il-Kbir, published in Vol. 62. No 72, in “La Galerie…” of which 66-volums are combined. The point being, the engraving is attributed to Pieter Van der Aa, 1712, and I’ve seen this engraving, it had to be done on site, thus the artist saw the small group of people perhaps that remained in the cave. The etching is fanciful, thus I’d think he perked it up, for whatever reasons. It seems to me he made the cave larger in the picture. Although the cave is large with sections; larger and smaller caverns attached to it. The faces on the folks within the engraving are flat, no smiles etc. As I had checked this out further, I had found conceivably there was a group of folks living in the cave between 1665 and 1680 AD. But the record is not vivid by any mean; and having said all this, here is my little poem to go along with this over zealous Advance:

I could get no fit idea—of the Proportion of the cave, merely By the patch of light from my Flashlight

I was surrounded by limestone And I felt a disadvantage—a few More feet within the cave the roof Began to rise—

My eyes had become adjusted To the caves darkness—the oily Glaring walls around me; cautiously I descended…

—The floor of the cave became Nearly level, but the tide of dark Shadows came afresh, unnoticed by Others—

Something, long ago had lived here, Lived in this grand grotto—; My treasures were in: whom! They were. And then came the bones!...

Bones, massive bones; all about— Dazzling hues, in the petrified bones; 200,000-years old: dwarf elephants, And hypodermis’…

Wolfs and bears, giant swans, Deer—all appeared to be here; and From European stock; sacrifices or Diner, they were all here: my Treasure.

Avance: de la mayor parte de sitios que he viajado en el mundo [683,000 millas a través de todas partes], Malta ha estado principalmente, siempre en la lista de las diez primeras, de sitios caprichosos para ir. Esto tiene un descubrimiento de todo. Ghar Dalam, conocida de otra manera como “La Cueva de Oscuridad”, fue usada para vivienda por el hombre prehistórico, 5000 años antes de Cristo, y a partir de entonces usada por animales. Allí en la cueva han sido encontrados huesos humanos y dientes, así como un monton de huesos de animales de tiempos inmemoriales Allí también hay una leyenda de una criatura del mar que salió a la superficie y parecía vivir dentro de esta área (en el siglo XVII).

Yo había escrito una trilogía del “Tiamat”. En uno de estos libros usé esta cueva [no en el nombre] como un fondo para la historia. Esto es grandioso y casi un cuadro de vida del medio ambiente. En l729, había un grabado hecho, de la vida de cueva en Ghar il-Kbir, publicado en Vol. 62. El No 72, en " La Galería…” del cual 66-volums son combinados. El punto es, que el grabado es atribuido a Pieter der Aa, 1712, y he visto este grabado, tuvo que haber sido hecho sobre el sitio, aunque el artista vio al pequeño grupo de gente que quizás permanecieron en la cueva. La estampa es imaginaria, aunque yo pensaría que él se animó, por cualquier motivo. Me parece él hizo la cueva más grande en el cuadro. Aunque la cueva sea grande con secciones; cavernas más grandes y más pequeñas unidas a ello. Las caras de la gente dentro del grabado son planas, sin sonrisas etc. Como yo había chequeado esto mas minuciosamente, había encontrado que evidentemente había un grupo de gente que vivió en la cueva entre 1665 y 1680 antes de Cristo. Pero esto no esta registrado por algún motivo; y habiendo dicho todo esto, aquí está mi pequeño poema para acompañar esto sobre este Avance entusiasta:

Yo podría, no tener idea suficiente - de la Proporción de la cueva, simplemente Por el pedazo de luz de mi

Fui rodeado por la piedra caliza Y sentí una desventaja- un poco Más pies dentro de la cueva el techo

A la oscuridad de las cuevas – el aceitoso Evidente de las paredes rodeándome; cautelosamente

-El piso de la cueva se hizo Casi el nivel, -Pero la marea de Sombras Oscuras vino de nuevo, Inadvertido por Otros –

Algo, hace mucho había vivido aquí, Vivido en esta magnífica gruta-; Mis tesoros estaban en: ¡quienes eran ellos!. ¡Y luego vino los huesos!...

Los lobos y osos, cisnes gigantescos, Ciervos - Todos parecieron estar aquí; y De reserva europea; sacrificios o Comidas, ellos estaban todos aquí: mi

An ezine is a periodic publication distributed by email or posted on a website. CULT OF THE DEAD COW claims to have published the first ezine, starting in 1984, with its ezine still in production more than 20 years later. While this claim is hotly debated, the ezine craze certainly began in the BBS days of the 1980s. Phrack, which opened its doors in 1985, is another surviving ezine of unparalelled technical quality. Unlike CULT OF THE DEAD COW, which publishes articles individually, Phrack published collections of articles in a manner that was more similar to a print magazine.
