Malta’s Mysterious Megalithic Temples DECODED
As Ice Age glaciers receded, a mysterious culture emerged in Malta, launching an era of megalithic temple building. Despite the Mediterranean Copper Age, no copper tools were found here, raising questions about their advanced architecture. This tour explores the spiritual world of these builders, rooted in earth-based goddess worship, and how their beliefs still echo in Mediterranean traditions and inspired works such as Dan Brown’s novels and Erich von Däniken's speculative documentaries.
