This weekend we went to The Hypogeum in Malta. It's a unique temple that was discovered in 1902. To go in you have to buy the tickets a month before, because it's always fully booked. They can accept only 80 visitors a day, because to conserve the site they have to keep the temperature and humidity inside constant. We were not allowed to take photos inside, so the photos shown here are from the Heritage Malta website.
The Hypogeum is an underground temple. It was slowly built between 3600BC and 2500BC. Back then they didn't have metal tools, so it was dug out of solid rock using bones and animal horns. It is over 500 square metres in size, has 3 levels, and it's maximum depth is 10.6 metres below street level. Inside archeologists discovered the remains of over 7,000 human bodies, personal ornaments such as beads and amulets, little carved animals, and large figurines. Some of the rock walls inside had designs drawn on them with red pigments.
