TPOD Craters and Buttes Part TWO - Gozo

Hundreds of TPODs have been published since the summer of 2004. In particular, we invite discussion of present and recent TPODs, perhaps with additional links to earlier TPOD pages. Suggestions for future pages will be welcome. Effective TPOD drafts will be MORE than welcome and could be your opportunity to become a more active part of the Thunderbolts team.

TPOD Craters and Buttes Part TWO - Gozo

Post by MattEU » Mon Nov 30, 2009 6:43 pm

Craters often have flat bottoms and forty-five degree slopes. Buttes often exhibit forty-five degree shoulders and flat tops.

Qolla Bajda - The White Qolla - Marsalforn, Gozo

Qolla's are strange shaped hills on the islands of Malta and its Gozo. They really do stand out from the other larger hills in the area but are they the starting blocks for the larger hills? The smallest one, Qolla Bajda (The White Qolla) looks very much like other Buttes seen around the world.

Image

There are 3 Qollas close to each other on the island of Gozo (Malta), Qolla Bajda (The White Qolla), Qolla Safra (The Yellow Small Hill) and the most famous one Tal-Merzuq Hill (Ray of Light) also known as Tas-Salvatur Hill as it has a smaller version of the Jesus statue that can be found in Rio de Janeiro.

These Qollas seem to be different stages of each other, each one the next larger stage, with all having a slab on their tops. Is the last stage of growth the "proper" hills found around them that also have slabs on top, or are the Qollas on Malta their own unique formation in an Electrical Universe?

Image

Tas-Salvatur Hill has a fascinating legend about it and is the reason why it is called the Ray of Light hill. It fits in with the EU and the idea that these Qollas were created by the EU or are at least points of interest for EU interaction.
In his book Malta Illustrata historian Abela says that people believed that the hill was a dormant volcano. This idea stemmed from the fact that according to tradition black smoke had once been seen coming out of the hill. Some still believe in this myth though geologists dismiss the idea as nonsense.

Another legend says that God punished the people of Gozo by engulfing the Island in darkness for three whole days. At the end of these three days a ray of light (merzuq) was seen coming out of the hill and it was hence called Tal-Merzuq.
As a further thought, if things are scalable, was "Mollies Nipple" in Utah also created by a similar process?

Mollies Nipple and geology found in Utah

This photographe of Mollies Nipple shows very smooth sides and yet it has the slab on top.

The geology of Utah has many fascinating features and has to have been greatly influenced by the creation of the Grand Canyon. From the worlds largest Laccolith (even though they look like mountains geologists say they CAN NOT be mountains because they are formed from different material to the surrounding area...), to Domes, Red Beryl and even Silver Sandstone. And of Course the Virgin Anticline, a great example of what is not there but HAS to have been there because there is no other geology explanation.

Was Mollies Nipple created when the Grand Canyon was formed or are these features formed at different times?

tabletop Buttes, Mountains and Qollas

Post by MattEU » Sat Dec 05, 2009 6:48 am

If things are scalable in the Electric Universe then this includes geology. What I meant by the Qollas/Buttes of Gozo having flat slabs on tops could, if scaled up, be similar to tabletops seen on mountains around the world.

Below are photographs of the tabletop hills on the island of Gozo (Malta)

A marked difference from Malta is Gozo’s attractive 3 hills which spring up out of the fertile countryside and end in flat limestone tablelands which are now transformed into the village of Xaghra, Nadur and Zebbug. There are also flat top hills on the island which are Ghammar hill, Gelmus hill and Ta` Dbiegi hill which these are uninhabited.

Are these tabletop hills of Gozo where the land was pulled up from the seafloor, where the power was put into the land to create the geology of the landscape, shows where an EU exchange points were etc etc ?


So do the Qollas of Gozo and Buttes around the world show the start of the process?

Does the most famous tabletop mountain also show other signs? Are the odd shaped hills, which is what the word Qolla means, just Qollas that were not transformed any further, where they part of the circuit that created the main tabletop mountain but never could have become their own tabletops? If the process had continued would they have formed tabletop mountains, would they have all joined as one or remained seperate?

This should be in the Picture of the Day section.

Qolla Icke - conglomerate coated or formed butte?

Post by MattEU » Mon Dec 07, 2009 3:22 pm

Qolla Icke on the island of Malta near Fomm Ir-Rih Bay

Another strange looking butte or knoll, this time on the larger island of Malta. There isnt really anything like it in the area. One of the more puzzling things about it from a geology and an EU geology point of view is that it seems to have a "stone cladding" layer or something like that. It seems to be similar to a layer of conglomerate.
Even more mad would be if its front, core or the whole thing was formed out of just rocks and boulders as Malta is a limestone island.

Butte on the limestone island of Malta with "stone cladding"?

As Electric Universe geology, or gEUlogy as I like to call it :) , is new to us all any help or advise on this would be appreciated. One of the things i am wondering about is if this is like an electric plating or electrostatic or something else.

The rear of the butte has the "shoulder" or mini arete/ridge found on buttes. The outer layer exposed at the rear (not shown in the image above) seems to be made of limestone/sandstone.

The photo below is very close to Qolla Icke and shows what you would expect the Icke to be made of, instead of looking like a conglomerate butte or Qolla.

Blue Clay taluses beside Qolla Icke on the island of Malta (near Fomm Ir-Rih Bay)

Another interesting (to me anyway!) geological feature of both Malta and Gozo are the Blue Clay talus that flow out of the sides of cliffs. These are meant to have been deposited in the past but there is a lot of them. If they keep flowing out forever would that prove that they are not deposits but created now in an Electric Universe?

Does anyone know if there are Blue Clay taluses similar to the ones found on Malta and Gozo anywhere else in the world?
