The prehistoric temples of Malta are unique in all the world. They are the 
oldest standing stone structures which remain to us from ancient times. 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.

This web site is based mostly on photographs and images of the temples. My 
intention is to give as much visual information as possible - using 
photographs, illustrations and virtual reality tours and movies. The 
photographs and illustrations are from a project I'm working on, about the 
Prehistory of Malta.
