The Ħal Saflieni Project

The Ħal Saflieni Project highlights the remarkable antiquity of Malta's megalithic temples, including the twin Ġgantija Temples, which are over a thousand years older than the pyramids and predate Stonehenge by millennia. These structures represent the world's oldest freestanding buildings, standing as visible monuments when other ancient sites like Göbekli Tepe in Turkey were buried underground for thousands of years. The research sheds light on the advanced architectural achievements of Neolithic societies in Malta, offering insights into their cultural and religious practices during a pivotal post-Ice-Age period.
