Curator Luc Amkreutz guides you through the exhibition 'Temples of Malta' at the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden (Leiden, the Netherlands). Providing first-hand information and interesting insights on Malta’s rich prehistoric culture, a world of temples and tombs.
The large, stone temples of Malta are among the most ancient free-standing buildings in the world, 1,000 years older than the pyramids. In this exhibition, archaeological finds from burial sites and sacred places will show how much the builders, Malta’s prehistoric farmers, were capable of achieving thousands of years ago. Their great engineering skills, their rituals, their religion, and the abrupt end of their way of life are still shrouded in a veil of mystery.
