The temple of Mnajdra was created 3400 years before Jesus Christ, and 800 years before the great pyramid and Stonehenge. Mnajdra and the other Maltese temples can be considered the most ancient stone temples in the world. Almost nothing is known about the civilisation that built these temples. Having come from Sicily about 3500 BC, this population mysteriously "disappeared" around 2500BC. They did not know iron. The size of the stone blocks and the beautiful decorations with simple tools in flint make it all the more remarkable.
