5.0 out of 5 stars
- recreates the mystery-laden atmosphere of Neolithic times.,
By A Customer
This review is from: People of the Temples - Menaidra (Paperback)
The day I finished reading "People of the Temples" it was announced that the Council of Europe is to draw up an action plan to conserve Malta's cultural heritage in which the pre-historic period has an importance that is universally acknowledged. From this aspect no country can actually boast of so much in so small a space. The number of major megalithic temples bears absolutely no relativity to the islands' dimensions, a fact which deserves deeper thought and consideration. Equally intriguing is the proximity of certain major temples to each other: why erect a structure, with all the labour it involves, when you have a similar one only a few hundred metres away? What demographic conclusions can one draw from the space taken by the temples? How did the people who built them live? What were their contacts with foreign countries - there isn't anything on the more proximate littorals that proves the existence of similar contemporary structures.
