Explore Megalithic Malta and Gozo in March 2024, including private access to the Equinox Sunrise at Mnajdra Temples & Ħaġar Qim, The Hypogeum, Ggantija and lots more. Hosted by Jim Vieira, Hugh Newman and JJ Ainsworth: www.megalithomania.co.uk/malta.... An exploration of one of Malta's most important megalithic temples. Ħaġar Qim was built in the Ġgantija phase (3600-3200 BC) but new research could push the dates back much further. V. Gordon Childe, Professor of Prehistoric European Archeology and director of the Institute of Archaeology in the University of London from 1946-1957 visited Ħaġar Qim. He wrote, "I have been visiting the prehistoric ruins all round the Mediterranean, from Mesopotamia to Egypt, Greece and Switzerland, but I have nowhere seen a place as old as this one." It has a summer solstice alignment, was a goddess worshipping site and is the sister site to Mnajdra, that is aligned to the Equinox.
