The Mystery Behind Rock Cut Architecture

Some of the oldest rock cut architecture will never be understood due to the sheer size and complexity of the construction. Some have even been rumored to be built by giants and others by secret societies. So why were these structures built and how?

Several prehistoric temples have been found in Malta and Sardinia, many in fact, predating Stonehenge and the Pyramids of Giza. Around the 4th millennium BC, a megalithic temple complex found on the southern coast of the Mediterranean island of Malta appeared. Mnajdra is approximately 500 metres from the Ħaġar Qim megalithic complex.
