Ancient Temples
Gjantija Temples - AKA "pile o' rocks" courtesy 
of HD. As I said before, Malta has the oldest known manmade structures on earth and here's an example of one of them. This is the site of the Ggantija Temples -approximately 5,000 years old - on the island of Gozo. The sun was setting when we got there so the pictures have come out dark. 
In Malta we went to visit the Tarxien Temples also built approximately 5,000 years ago. We got a tour from a nice man who worked there as there wasn't anyone else that day at the site. There are four temples on site and it's believed they were dedicated to worshipping the feminine and people would come to pray and offer sacrifices in the hopes of receiving fruitful blessings.
