The archaeological treasures of Malta are famous the world over. For three millennia, from around 5200 B.C., the Maltese archipelago was home to a unique, temple-building civilisation. Malta and Gozo's temples are thought to be the oldest free-standing buildings known to man. NOTE: Since this video was produced, the temples have been covered with a protective canopy to minimise the deteriorating effect of rain and sunlight on these archaeological treasures.
