Mnajdra - a walk in the footsteps of prehistoric man

On the south of Malta, amount 500 yards away from each other are two of Malta's famous Neolithic temples, Hagar Qim and Mnajdra. . This is Mnajdra. it is about 5000 years old and pre dates the pyramids by about 500 years. It is thousand years older than the megaliths at Stonehenge

Although this pile of stones is one of the earliest known man made structures in the world, it is not the oldest that these islands have to offer. About 20 miles from here (as the microlight flies) is an even more ancient temple complex - Ggantija in Gozo. We'll fly over it later in our aerial adventure.

Some people see the form of a fat lady - an 'earth mother' or fertility godess in the shape of Mnajdra's chambers. I'm not sure. What do you think?
