Why don't you tell us about what you think of this? Its rather too long for me to read right now, but the first sentence is a bad start.
The western edge of the Mediterranean is Gibraltar, Spain and Morocco. Malta and Italy are in the middle.

Thank you for quoting that sentence. It helps me presuppose a lack of research (what, really?) and therefore not waste the time.

I was doing a search for my own interest about subterranean chambers and stuff. this kept resurfacing.. it said that teachers and students went to vsit and they disappeared then the government locked it up, and that screams of children was said to have been heard for a week I guess.. I wanted to check if you heard about this or you know anything about it

Do you have any filters on what you do and don't believe without looking into it? Have you bothered to look into whether or not the government closed the cave? If they have, have you looked into why?

do you ever read what I write appropriately? I said I couldn't find something refuting it which means that I tried to search for it. that's why I am questioning it here as maybe some people might have heard about it. anyways, wikipedia quotes national geographic magazine for the disappearance of women and children en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypogeum_of_%C4%A6al-Saflieni#cite_note-0

something to add is that this can be pure science, as 'disappear' doesn't mean that they vanished magically, but they might have fell somewhere in the cave.. and it is interesting to know where they went

See Wiki here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypogeum_of_%C4%A6al-SaflieniNot closed by the government. A party of school childern and a teacher did disappear, due to a collapse. No mystery there. I'd tend to bypass the claims of voices from all over the island without some independent evidence to support it. It's conceivable parts of the island are honeycombed with natural and artificial passages, but people lost in there would not have lasted "weeks" as suggested, without a food and water supply.

Caves can be quite dangerous - the point that it's too dangerous to send rescuers looking for those who have already gotten in trouble.

but then reopening them is as equally dangerous
