Hagar Qim, Mnajdra
In this brief video we tour Hagar Qim and Mnajdra.
When you arrive parking is abundant if you self drive. There are also tour companies that go to these sites as well as public bus.
There is a visitor center with a 4D movie, entrance to movie is included in price of general admission. We paid 27.50 I believe for 1 adult and 2 seniors.
The two sites sit a bit of a distance away from each other so be prepared to walk a good 10 minutes or so from site to site. There is also a nature reserve on the way to Mnajdra.
Enjoy and please remember, don't touch the rocks!

[한국어 정보]
몰타 동쪽에 위치한 하자임 신전을 찾았다. 이곳은 기원전 3,300년경에 지은 것으로 추정되는데 이 거석 신전은 현재 세계문화유산으로 지정돼 있다. 건물의 벽과 맞먹는 크기의 돌. 무게만 20톤에 달한다. 이렇게 큰 돌을 모아 신전을 지은 이유는 뭘까. “이곳이 다산의 성역이었을 수도 있다고 믿습니다. 남근 모형을 분명하게 볼 수 있고, 그 앞에는 여성의 생식력을 상징하는 삼각형 모형이 있습니다. 심지어 다른 문명에서도 이 삼각형 모양은 여성의 생식력을 상징합니다. 그래서 이곳이 남성과 여성의 다산을 기원하는 성역이었을 수도 있습니다.” 거대한 석회석을 다듬어 만든 상징물. 그 기원은 정확이 알 수 없지만, 고대 몰타인이 지녔던 예술성과 기술력은 결코 평범하지 않았음을 느낄 수 있다. “이곳에서 어떤 일이 일어나고 있었는지 궁금해요. 이 사원을 보며 깊은 감명을 받았습니다. 정말 좋았습니다.”

I found the Temple of Hajime in the east of Malta. It is believed to have been built around 3,300 BC. This megalithic temple is now designated as a World Heritage Site. A stone of the same size as the wall of the building. It weighs only 20 tons. Why did you gather such big stones to build a temple? I believe that this could have been a sanctuary of fertility. You can clearly see the penis model, and in front of it there is a triangle model symbolizing the fertility of the woman. Even in other civilizations, this triangle shape symbolizes the fertility of a woman. So it might have been a sanctuary for man and women to pray for fertility. It is a symbol made of gigantic limestone. Although its origins are not known precisely, the artistic and technical skills of the ancient Maltese can be perceived as never commonplace. I wonder what was happening here. I was deeply impressed to see this temple. It was really good.

Sibt it-Tempju ta 'Hajime fil-Lvant ta' Malta. Huwa maħsub li nbena madwar 3,300 QK. Dan it-tempju megalitiku issa huwa nominat bħala Sit ta 'Wirt Dinji. Ġebla ta 'l-istess daqs bħall-ħajt tal-bini. Huwa jiżen 20 tunnellata biss. Għaliex ġibt ġebel kbir bħal dan biex tibni tempju? Nemmen li dan seta 'kien santwarju tal-fertilità. Tista 'tara b'mod ċar il-mudell tal-pene, u quddiemha jkun hemm mudell trijangolu li jissimbolizza l-fertilità tal-mara. Anke f'ċiviltajiet oħra, din il-forma ta 'trijangolu tissimbolizza l-fertilità ta' mara. Allura seta 'kien santwarju għall-irġiel u n-nisa biex jitolbu għall-fertilità. Huwa simbolu magħmul minn ġebla tal-ġebla ġiganteska. Għalkemm l-oriġini tiegħu mhix magħrufa b'mod preċiż, il-ħiliet artistiċi u tekniċi tal-Maltin antiki jistgħu jitqiesu bħala qatt komuni. Niddubita dak li kien qed jiġri hawn. Kienet impressjonat ħafna biex tara dan it-tempju. Kien verament tajjeb.

Hagar Qim temples, Malta - summer solstice on Saturday 21 June 2014
Early in the morning on the 21 June 2014 I was just one of six people to witness the summer solstice at Hagar Qim temples in Malta, a phenomenal event where the rising sun aligns with the standing stones from the Ggantija phase (3600 - 3200BC). This happens only once every year. HeritageMalta.org

BLUE GROTTO stunning views, HAGAR QIM and THE MYSTERIOUS FOUND IN THIS VIDEO. MUST WATCH
XX11
The Blue Grotto is a famous destination for tourists in the island of Malta which should definitely make it to the “must see” of any foreign visitors.
It’s just 20-25 mins drive from Valleta the capital city of Malta.
The Blue Grotto a number of sea caverns in the south east coast of Malta.
You can take a boat trips if you want to visit the amazing grotto.
The cave walls mirrored of orange, purple and green colours of the underwater.
The location has been also used by movie makers of “Troy” and etc.
Blue Grotto sea caves are located on the coastline opposite to the small islet of Filfla.
The island of Filfla was possibly sacred to the neolithic inhabitants of Malta, who built the temple of Hagar Qim.
Filfla has an area of just 6 hectares and have flat topped limestone plateau surrounded by approximately 60 metres high cliffs.
This is also a bird sanctuary.
Hagar Qim temple is located in Qrendi Malta. Worshipping stones is a megalithic temple complex found on the Mediterranean island of Malta from 3700-3200 BC.
The archeologists found a multiple altars during their excavations and they were able to determine that it was a temple or at least some kind of religious shrine.
Hagar Qim was built entirely of Limestone. The builders used globigerina limestone in the temple's construction but the temple has suffered from severe weathering and surface flaking.
In 2009 they covered with a tent as a protection of the temple.
St. Paul's Catacombs are some of the most prominent features of Malta’s early Christianity archaeology. The archaeological clearing of the site has revealed an extensive system of underground galleries and tombs from the third to the eighth centuries CE or Common Era
St. Paul’s catacombs are part of a large cemetery located outside the walls of the ancient Greek of Melite.
The cemetery probably originated in the Phoenician-Punic period. As in Roman tradition the Phoenician and Punic burials were located outside the city walls.

Exploring Malta - Hagar Qim and Mnajdra Temples | Malta
In this Exploring Malta episode we take a closer look at the Hagar Qim and Mnajdra temples, situated on the southwest coast of Malta, close to the Blue Grotto.
When getting there I thought that Hagar Qim was the only temple there, but turned out I was wrong. So, for the price of one, I got two temples, so to speak.
Price of entrance is €10. This includes a short 4D film before, and the two temples with the amazing view.

Hagar Qim Temple & Artefacts
Hagar Qim opening in 2006 TVM feature - Lawrence Gonzi
about 5 years ago
Heritage Malta will be allowing a limited group of people to experience the summer solstice from its Hagar Qim and Mnajdra prehistoric temples on the morning of Wednesday 21 June.
Pre-booked participants have to assemble at Hagar Qim at 5:45am. After witnessing this phenomenon they will then go on a guided tour of Hagar Qim and Mnajdra, followed by a visit to Ta' Hagrat and Skorba temples in Mgarr.
At dawn of this day of the year with the longest daylight period, sunlight passes through a hole, known as the ‘oracle hole’, at Hagar Qim temples,, which opens onto a chamber on the northeast side of the temple. Here, the sun's rays project a disk of light on a stone slab at the entrance of the apse. As the minutes pass, the disk becomes a crescent, then elongates into an ellipse, elongates even further and finally sinks out of sight as though into the ground. At Mnajdra, the first rays of the sun light up the edge of a megalith to the left of the central doorway connecting the first pair of chambers to the inner chambers.
Following the tours of Hagar Qim and Mnajdra, participants will be taken to Mgarr for breakfast after which they will visit Ta' Hagrat and Skorba temples. The two
temples are usually open only on Tuesdays so this is yet another opportunity for archaeology enthusiasts to visit these two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Participants will be taken back to Hagar Qim temples at around 1pm.
As only 50 adults will be allowed to participate in this event, those interested are requested to call Heritage Malta's head office immediately on 2295 4312. Tickets cost Lm6 and include transport, entrance fees and breakfast..

Ħaġar Qim Temples
The temple of Ħaġar Qim stands on a hilltop overlooking the sea and the islet of Fifla, not more than 2km south-west of the village of Qrendi. At the bottom of the hill, only 500m away, lies another remarkable temple site, Mnajdra found above the Southern cliffs. The surrounding landscape is typical Mediterranean garigue and spectacular in its starkness and isolation.
First excavated in 1839, the remains suggest a date between 3600 – 3200 BC, a period known as the Ġgantija phase in Maltese prehistory. Ħaġar Qim was in fact never completely buried as the tallest stones, remained exposed and featured in 18th and 19th century paintings. The site consists of a central building and the remains of at least two more structures. The large forecourt and the monumental facade of the central structure follow the pattern typical of Maltese Prehistoric Temples. Along the external wall one may find some of the largest megaliths used in the building of these structures, such as a 5.2m high stone and a huge megalith estimated to weigh close to 20 tonnes.
The building itself is made up of a series of C-shaped rooms, known as apses. Walking through the main entrance, one finds a central paved space with an apse on each side. These apses are more firmly screened off than is usual at other temple sites using walls and slabs with square shaped portholes cut through as doorways. During excavations a slab bearing a pair of opposing spirals in relief and a free-standing pillar decorated on all four sides were found in the area. These have been replaced with replicas on site and the originals can be found at the National Museum of Archaeology.
Through the inner passage one finds an apse on the right and a large space on the left. The apse on the right has a curious setting of low stone slabs forming an inner enclosure. At the rear of this apse is a small elliptical hole. The rays of the rising sun on the first day of summer, the Summer Solstice, pass through this hole and illuminate one of the low slabs.
The large space on the left holds three high so-called ‘table altars’ and a doorway to an additional chamber reached by three steps. Three more chambers form part of this building but these can only be reached through doorways along the outer wall. Much of interest has been unearthed at Ħaġar Qim, notably stone and clay statuettes of obese figures which are also found at the National Museum of Archaeology in Valletta.
Reasons to Visit
1. Ħaġar Qim is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, inscribed as part of ‘The Megalithic Temples of Malta’ in the World Heritage List.
2. A dedicated visitor centre offers information about the site in a fun and interactive manner.
3. One of the prehistoric chambers at Ħaġar Qim holds an elliptical hole which is hewn out in alignment with the Summer Solstice sunrise. At sunrise, on the first day of summer, the sun’s rays pass through this hole and illuminate a stone slab inside the chamber.

Hagar Qim Malta
Ħaġar Qim (Maltese pronunciation: [ħadʒar ˈʔiːm]; Standing/Worshipping Stones) is a megalithic temple complex found on the Mediterranean island of Malta, dating from the Ġgantija phase (3600-3200 BC).[1] The Megalithic Temples of Malta are among the most ancient religious sites on Earth,[2] described by the World Heritage Sites committee as unique architectural masterpieces.[3] In 1992 UNESCO recognized Ħaġar Qim and four other Maltese megalithic structures as World Heritage Sites.[4] V. Gordon Childe, Professor of Prehistoric European Archeology and director of the Institute of Archaeology in the University of London from 1946-1957[5] 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.[6]
Ħaġar Qim's builders used globigerina limestone in the temple's construction.[7] As a result of this, the temple has suffered from severe weathering and surface flaking over the millennia.[7] In 2009 work was completed on a protective tent.[8]

MALTE Port de Sajjieda - Temple néolithique d' Hagar Qim
Le mystère d'Hagar Qim s'incarne dans les très originales statuettes anthropomorphes en pierre qui y ont été découvertes. Celles-ci représentent des femmes aux formes toujours rondes et généreuses ; l'une de ces évocations féminines a d'ailleurs été baptisée par les archéologues la Vénus de Malte ! S'agit-il là de représentations de déesses-mères de la fertilité auxquelles les occupants du temple vouaient un culte, de figurines votives, ou bien, plus simplement, l'expression symbolico-artistique d'une société éminemment matriarcale ? Quel qu'en fût leur usage, la plupart de ces figurines féminines ont été retrouvées sans tête, non qu'elles aient été cassées mais bel et bien retirées intentionnellement du corps, des trous dans le cou ou le buste attestant de leur assemblage et de leur caractère amovible. Pourquoi une telle caractéristique ? Y avait-il ainsi interchangeabilité possible ? Dans quel(s) but(s) ?...
