Crop of Malta

There is no other corner on land where on such small space impressing cultural monuments of all seasons of human history - from the Stone Age and to a new time would be concentrated so much. Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, byzantians, Arabs, Normans, kastiltsy, knights of order ioannitov, Frenchmen and Englishmen once overtopped on islands and have abandoned the traces. However on Malta two historical seasons had the special significance: megaliticheskaja crop of times of the new Stone Age and crop of knights of order ioannitov.

Long before emersion of Phoenicians Malta has been occupied by the ancient nations erecting unusual temples from giant stones. These huge structures for 500-1000 years are more senior the Egyptian tripod signals and are recognised the most ancient among existing ceremonial (megaliticheskih) constructions all over the world. The impression of structures even more gains in strength stone graven images, landforms (more often motives from fauna), colossal stone plates, the altars decorated with spirals and other motives, the nucleation sites for, ambries and oracles. Sanctuaries of Gozo, That Hagrat, Hagar Kim, Mnajdra and Tarksien are most interesting. Still bolshee surprise calls an underground cult structure of Plaited white bread Salflieni, the so-called hypogay. The structure was cut out from a rock within several centuries. It is drawn down on some floors in depth and occupies the extensive space. About 2000 B.C. the trace of these mysterious people, the founder of unique temples, subitaneously terminates.

Cave-museum Ghar Dalam is the certificate of life of the ancient person and animals on Malta and the present depot of fossil fossils: here it is possible to see nanous elephants and river horses, the hugest sleepyhead, a turtle, and also the auks occupying islands 250  thousand years ago.

  the Chronicle of islands has embodied abiding on them of many known persons: so, Odysseus was on island Gozo in a scab at nymph Kalipso - progenitresses of all seductive women. Cave Kalipso is on abrupt rock. From here the fantastic aspect to all Malta is discovered. The red sandy beach of fake Ramla is below stretched.

on islands it is necessary to recognise as a cradle of knightly crop Kottoneru - glomeration of three small towns: Vittorozo, Senglea and Kaspikua. Here the assemblage of the most ancient constructions of 1530-1565 was saved. Vittorozo, before called Birgu, was the first capital of the knightly state.
