Megalithic Malta 5 - Skorba Temples, Mġarr
Another prehistoric temple cluster, in the vicinity of Ta' Ħaġrat Temples in Mġarr, Malta
~MALTA~ MGARR Ta Hagrat Temples
Mġarr has two important prehistoric sites: Ta' Ħaġrat, which is still in a good state of preservation, stands in a field near the village centre; Ta' Skorba, excavated in 1963, lies just outside the village. These temples were used thousands of years ago to worship the gods of their religion and are very similar to those of Hagar Qim, Mnajdra ,Ggantija in Gozo and Tarxien which are some of the world's oldest free standing structures .This is Ta Hagrat Temple not far from the church and the restaurants found in the village square .Enjoy :)
Megalithic Malta 4 - Ta' Ħaġrat Temples, Mġarr
UNESCO World Heritage Site. One of several neolithic temples in the Maltese islands.
Megalithic Malta 2
An updated tour of the unique and mysterious prehistoric megalithic temple sites of Malta and Gozo - the oldest man-made free-standing constructions on Earth. I felt compelled to re-make and enhance this video because Google Earth has improved the definition of the Maltese islands so much, especially in Gozo, allowing me to add a few more temple sites. This video now visits a total of eighteen sites, five in Gozo and thirteen in Malta: Ggantija, Xaghra Stone Circle, Santa Verna, Ta' Marziena, Borg l-Imramma, Bugibba, Tal-Qadi, Skorba, Ta' Hagrat, Qortin l-Imdawwar (Kuncizzjoni/Bahrija), Mnajdra, Hagar Qim, Kordin III, Hal-Saflieni Hypogeum, Tarxien, Xrobb l-Ghagin, Tas-Silg and Borg in-Nadur.

A Brief look at Malta and Gozos ancient Megalithic Monuments and Temples, The Megalithic Temples of Malta are the oldest free-standing structures on Earth, even older than the Pyramids. Eleven prehistoric monuments, of which seven are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, were built during three distinct time periods between 5000BC and 700BC approximately. Archaeologists believe that these megalithic complexes are the result of local innovations in a process of cultural evolution.This led to the building of several temples of the Ġgantija phase (3600-3000 BC), culminating in the large Tarxien temple complex, which remained in use until 2500 BC. After this date, the temple building culture disappeared.
The Ġgantija temples (two sites) were listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980. In 1992, the UNESCO Committee further extended the existing listing to include five other megalithic temple sites. These are Ħaġar Qim (in Qrendi), Mnajdra (in Qrendi), Ta' Ħaġrat Temples (in Mġarr), Skorba Temples (in Żebbiegħ) and Tarxien Temples (in Tarxien). Nowadays, the sites are managed by Heritage Malta, while ownership of the surrounding lands varies from site to site.[
#1 The OLDEST TEMPLE of SKORBA, 4500BC! | MEGALITHIC ancient Malta | [MEGALITOS EN MALTA]
The megalithic temple of Skorba is the oldest of the island of Malta. (according to archaeologists)
To the right of the map (B) we find the so-called RED SKORBA and the oldest of the three constructions that we find here. Structures that given its deterioration makes it difficult to determine what it was used for.
To the east of RED SKORBA we find the GRAY SKORBA which is the complex or temple with two apses in the shape of a clover The northernmost temple, of which only a small circular wall survives. Next to this we really have the only thing left of this complex, after 6,000 years of harsh estores and the continued looping of the farmers to build their walls on the farms.

#3 TOWERS OF GIANTS, Ggantija TEMPLE 3600BC! | MEGALITHIC ancient Malta | [GIGANTES EN MALTA]
The megalithic temple of Ggantija is the most complex buildings so far. If until now we had found in Skorba or Ta 'Hagrat small buildings (with megalithic stones) in the shape of a clover.We find ourselves with Ggantija which, to say the least, is as if they were the two previous temples at the same time. And it is that Ggantija as it happens with its two counterparts is built with huge megalithic stones under an interesting architectural precision, a construction that would require an important sum of effort (and money) in being able to carry out something like this in days like today.

#2 HUGE MYSTERIOUS STRUCTURE of Ta' Ħaġrat, 3800BC! | MEGALITHIC ancient Malta | [MALTA NEOLITICA]
The megalithic temple of Ta Hagrat is a temple in the shape of a clover and a smaller one located to the north. It is one of the least large temples found on the island, and compared to Skorba is much better preserved.
The entrance to the temple of the South (A) remains standing, although obviously damaged by storms after so many millennia of rain. And it is that the strong and violent storms that happen in Malta are nowadays well known.
A very small complex to be a house that could store a civilization, maybe a small community with a purpose. a purpose difficult to confirm, although not very difficult to imagine. Its construction leaves a clear evidence - for the other constructions found on the island - as if it were treated to an outpost as we could understand it. There are no traces of weapons, or wars. Therefore, they did not try to protect themselves from anyone or anything.

Ġgantija: Megalithic Temples of Malta
Ġgantija (Giants' Tower) is a Neolithic, megalithic temple complex on the Mediterranean island of Gozo. The Ġgantija temples are the earliest of a series of megalithic temples in Malta. The Ġgantija temples are older than the pyramids of Egypt. Their makers erected the two Ġgantija temples during the Neolithic Age (c. 3600-2500 BC), which makes these temples more than 5500 years old and the world's second oldest manmade religious structures, after Göbekli Tepe. Together with other similar structures, these have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Megalithic Temples of Malta.

El sitio de Templos de Tarxien en un complejo de cuatro estructuras megalíticas construidas entre 3600 y 2500 aC y reutilizadas entre 2400 y 1500 aC´
The Tarxien megalithic temple complex was built in the late Neolithic period of Malta, in a place that was used for several millennia. The site of Temples of Tarxien in a complex of four megalithic structures built between 3600 and 2500 BC and reused between 2400 and 1500 BC
MALTA: Tarxien Prehistoric Temples
The Tarxien Temples are an archaeological complex in Tarxien, Malta which date back to around 3000 BC. The Tarxien Temples consist of three separate, but attached structures. These Temples were accepted as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980.
in 1914, Sir Themistocles Zammit, Director of the National Museum Malta was contacted by the proprietor of the land where his workers/farmers discovered large stone blocks during ploughing the field.
Sir Themistocles Zammit excavated the site and discovered the center of the temples. By 1920, he had identified and carried out restoration work on five separate but interconnected temples.

Skorba - 'Hagar Qim'
'Ħaġar Qim' by Australian band SKORBA. Skorba came together to celebrate those who brought the Neolithic temples of Malta into the history of civilization. They play original music inspired by the Malta's ancient cultures and history at the crossroads of the Mediterranean. Since the release of their first CD, Ħaġar Qim, SKORBA have been making waves around the country as one of the few bands in the world to play music based on Maltese traditions. Their presentations are embellished by beautiful images of the Maltese archipelago and its temples. The group features Andy Busuttil (vocals, clarinet, zurna and percussion), John Robinson (oud, tambura), Bertie McMahon (cittern-bouzouki, bass) and Paul Jarman (saxillo, clarinet & winds). Llew Kiek (Greek bouzouki) and guest artist Mara Kiek (frame drum) also appear in photos. Ħaġar Qim photos courtesy of maltavista.net.

Hypogeum & Valletta, Malta
Our first official day in Malta, we booked 9am tickets (booked way head of time) for a visit to the Hypogeum. It was not very difficult to find with our GPS and rental car, but if you take a bus I cannot say.
The tour lasted approximately 1 hour or so, and was worth it. Only 80 people allowed per day in groups of 10, per hour, so make sure to book appropriately.
From there we walk around the town square nearby but there wasn't much to see.
We then drove to Valletta, where we spent several hours walking around and even heading up to the Upper Barracca Gardens for the battery salute which happens at 12:00 and 4:00pm (16:00).
It's free but get there early enough to get a nice view, otherwise it's difficult to see through the people.

Maltas Temples
The Hypogeum is amazing. If you are interested in Neolithic Malta then it is definitely a must because it is where you will get the most historical information (outside of the Museum of Archaeology in Valletta), and you actually get to go underground into the tombs, unlike the ruins found above ground. The outdoor sites, like Tarxien, don't offer much of a guide, if any at all, on what you are actually looking at.
It's dark and damp, and really like nothing I've ever see before. They light it as you move around, and as the audio guide changes, to highlight what it is telling you about. Shuffling round the small spaces with a group of strangers does detract somewhat from the atmosphere, but I would personally still recommend it as a unique experience. I couldn't quite believe I was standing in such an ancient place, built by people we don't fully understand, who had barely any tools and yet managed to create a decorated temple/tomb that was the resting place for some 7000 people. People whose remains have since been mysteriously lost - one of the fascinating facts I learned from the tour guide at the Museum of Archaeology (which I would recommend as the first stop before going to the actual sites).
One of the most famous underground rooms was actually created as a single carving, straight out of the rock, and yet is done in such a way as to give it perspective and the appearance of having been constructed from separate slabs of rock like the temples above ground. Truly fascinating.
Bingemma, Mgarr, Malta part 1 I Exploring Malta
Last month, I visited my friend Julian and he showed me around Mgarr and Bingemma (part of Mgarr). This is part of a project where I want to show people my village and they show me theirs.
