This UNESCO World Heritage site covers seven Megalithic stone temples on the islands of Malta and Gozo. Dating from around 3600 BC, these are some of the oldest remaining structures on Earth, and pre-date both the Pyramids and Stonehenge. What's even more incredible is that they were built before wheels or metal tools were available on Malta! Join us, as we explore four of these awe-inspiring locations.

I am amazed at how much traveling you have had to do to get these videos filmed.

It's a long journey, that's for sure! 1073 sites in total and we've still got a long way to go!

I don't know much about Malta, to be honest, so this was super interesting.

I visited Haqar Qim. They were fascinating. And there were a cool theater next to it which told the history behind it

It's such an incredible spot! They were showing a 3D movie when we were there, did you get to see that as well? It was really good!

They predated the wheel???

@WorldHeritageJourney 6 жыл бұрын

Yup, apparently so! They apparently used logs to roll the stones around, but they didn't have wheels in the way that we think of them today - those first appeared in Iraq around 4000 BC or so
