Ġgantija Temple | Mysteries of ’The Giant’s Tower’ in Megalithic Malta and Gozo | Megalithomania

Ggantija is Malta and Gozo’s primary megalithic site. It dates back to at least 3600 BC, although Lenie Reedijk in her book ’Sirius: Star of the Maltese Temples’ suggests much earlier dates. It is a hugely impressive megalithic temple and in tradition is said to be built by the Giantess Sansuna, who was also said to have constructed nearby Sansuna dolmen forming an alignment to Buggiba Temple on the Maltese mainland. It is also connected to nearby (now mostly destroyed) Xaghra Stone Circle and was the oldest free-standing temple on the planet until Gobekli Tepe was discovered in the 1990s. It features prominently in the new Netflix series, ’Ancient Apocalypse’ hosted by Graham Hancock. Includes exclusive aerial footage. Megalithomania organises an annual tour to Malta and Gozo every March over the Spring Equinox.
