Stonehenge, London - New exploration in August 2000 at Stonehenge!

A skeleton is found in a grave. Based on the find, do we have to reconsider our understanding that this old monument has been a holy place only, and has only been used to measure summer and winter solstice, and then at a later time been used to execute people?

Following traces from the Knights of Malta!

Through the narrow winding streets I walked around in Mdina, the old capital, to look for traces after the Knights. Their traces are found spread around the island, also in the new capital Valetta where I also took my time to find more about them. Perhaps a ghost from the legendary Knights of Malta showed up when I looked curiously around? Ghostbusting in the light of the Knights` history is bloody is really something. It`s said that most of the Mdina ghosts from that period are Turks, one of whom was hung on the city walls every morning during the Great Siege of 1567.

Celebrating of Malta`s patron saints!

Ever since St. Paul was shipwrecked in Malta religion has been central for the Maltese people. This is evident by the hundreds of churches and chapels scattered throughout the islands of Malta and Gozo. Many of these magnificent structures were built hundreds of years ago. The Maltese know how to celebrates their saints. As I could observe, the Maltese Fireworks Festival in the Grand Harbour in the capital Valletta on the 29th and 30th of April 2006, was a spectacular show, but it was just the beginning for something more: the coming months villages and towns of Malta and Gozo will celebrate the feast of their patron saints. Here churces and cathedrals play an important rolle for the locals.

Soaking up the history in Mdina, the old capital of Malta!

This was the day for a relaxing walk. I felt so good just walking around in Mdina soaking up the quite atmosphere and history. All the narrow streets leaded to an new adventure, and there was always a story behind the buildings, walls and corners. Mdina is known as the noble city. It was the original capital of Malta before the arrival of the Knights of St John in the middle ages. It was originally a Phoenician town, but spent periods under Roman, Arabic and Norman occupation. The old town is situated in the centre of Malta at an altitude of 200 metres above sea level. Here I enjoyed the wonderful view of the countryside and coast from its ramparts.

Exploration of the ancient wonders Hagar Qim and Mnajdra on Malta – Part 1 of 2

I approached Hagar Qim eagerly from the South East side. It`s the oldest freestanding structure on Earth. Why is the earliest evidence for the use of stone for building purposes found in Malta? Illuminated in the strong sun, I could see this megalithic wonder lives up to its name. It means standing stones. The ruins from this ancient building, stands on a rocky plateau on the west coast of Malta. It overlooks the sea and the islet of Filfla. Nearby there is another ancient wonder called Mnajdra. Both buildings were partly domed and partly open to sky. Something could be explained, but no know exactly why, how and who built these buildings, also called the Copper Age Temples. So to get an impression what people did in the old time, I entered the doorway to Haqar Qim to take a thoroughly look inside.

Exploration of the ancient wonders Hagar Qim and Mnajdra on Malta – Part 2 of 2

I also took my time to walk about 500 metres away from Hagar Qim to another remarkable temple site, Mnajdra, It's set in a hollow above the southern cliffs and faces the blue sea. In ancient time it`s believed that these two temples were connected with each others. Mnajdra is an evidence of a significant prehistoric civilization that have existed on the island. Also this temple predates the Pyramids of Giza by a millennium, and is filled with mysteries waiting to be solved.
