Thread: Pictures of Maltese Historical sites.

    Default Pictures of Maltese Historical sites.

    Examples Of Maltese Pre-Historical Temples.





    The temples date from 4000 - 2500 BC. They are older than Stonehenge, older than the Pyramids. Their architecture is beautiful and inspiring, their scale impressive yet human. Excellently preserved, they were covered with soil from early times and ignored by the long march of history. They were rediscovered and carefully restored by European and native Maltese archaeologists beginning in the 19th century. Because of their uniqueness and beauty, the major temple complexes are deservedly designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

    The tour guides say to German tourists that Italians bombed it and to Italians that Germans bombed it

    Well, knock me down with a feather.

    Sorry I thought they were from a recent visit, and didn't mean to go all 'wide eyed tourist' on you.

    I really enjoyed the Caravaggios in the cathedral though
