1. The Ggantija Temples are ancient megalithic temples located on the Maltese island of Gozo. They are considered to be one of the oldest free-standing structures in the world, with a construction date estimated to be around 3600 BC, making them older than the Egyptian pyramids.
The temples are built out of huge limestone blocks, some of which weigh over 50 tons. The temples are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and are believed to be a place of worship or a site for ritualistic ceremonies.
The name \"Ggantija\" is derived from the Maltese word for giant, reflecting the belief among locals that the temples were built by a race of giants due to the immense size of the stones used in their construction.
