[edit] Move page, historical age
in keeping with other articles, i'd like to move this to Ġgantija Srl 02:10, 20 November 2005 (UTC) done. But.. Bronze or Copper age????? Srl 08:19, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
- Good point, changed to reflect the proper age. Amazing to think they built all that with just stone and wood tools. - lars 02:48, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Otto Bayer
How could Otto Bayer excavate Ggantija Temple in 1837 if he lived between 1902–1982? Norum 03:15, 29 April 2006
It must be a different one. Maltesedog 11:18, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Oldest Free Standing Structures
There are court tombs, passage tombs, and various structures in France, Turkey, Spain and Ireland which predate this. Example: Tomb 7, Carrowmore, dated by Burenhult in the 1970's to approximately 6200 years old. What about Cathal Hoyuk in Turkey? Certainly there are buildings there, probably early Neolithic.
