    Extractions: Malta is located in the Mediterranean Sea and is unparalleled in its archeological findings. This island is between southern Italy and Northern Africa. Directly before the discovery of all archeological artifacts, the British used this island as a naval base because the island was the perfect staging point for trade, war, and all sea travels. British use of the island led to the archaeological interest in the island. Arthur Issel, an English scientist came to Malta looking for fossils. He found artifacts throughout the fields of Malta. Another important discovery was the Hypogeum. This was an ancient temple, or burial chamber. The British found this building in about 1899 during construction projects, but they did not reveal its existence until 1902 when construction of the houses around it was finished. The temple was officially discovered and excavated by Sir Temi Zammi. The temple was opened in 1913 to the public. In 1992 the temple was closed to public viewing for restoration which was necessary as tourism had caused much damage to it. The Hypogeum, along with other megalithic structures found throughout Malta are evidence of a complex culture and set of beliefs. References: GHAR DALAM: by Bernard Nantet.

42. A History Lovers Guide To Malta
    The more important collections covering Maltese archaeology are housed in theAuberge de Provence, Valletta, one of the Inns of the Knights of St. John.

    Extractions: Megaliths, medieval dungeons and Calypso's Cave, al combine to make Malta a positively mythic place. The narrow cobblestone streets of its towns are crowded with Norman cathedrals and baroque palaces. The countryside is littered with the oldest known human structures in the world. Malta's oldest legacy is the megalithic temples that date from as far back as 3600 BC. The Phoenicians colonized the islands around 800 BC and ruled for about 600 years. The Romans made Malta part of their empire in 208 BC. Apart from Odysseus' stay on Gozo, known as Calypso's Isle, the most famous visitor to the island was the apostle Paul, who was shipwrecked on Malta in 60 AD. Tradition has it that he converted the islanders to Christianity. Several hundred years of peaceful isolation followed, until Arabs from North Africa arrived in 870. The Arabs exerted a powerful influence on the Maltese, introducing citrus fruits and cotton and warping the language. Norman invaders from Sicily displaced the Arabs in 1090, and for the next 400 years Malta remained under their sway. Soon after the war, Malta began moving away from Britain and toward independence, achieving complete autonomy in 1964. In 1974, it became a republic. In recent decades, the Maltese achieved considerable prosperity, thanks largely to tourism - every summer the Maltese population triple due to an influx of tourists - but the island nation is also increasingly benefiting from trade and light industries.

Among the more captivating features of the Auberge is the large top floor salon with its richly painted walls and wooden beamed ceiling. Over the centuries, the Auberge has undergone other architectural changes, but it remains one of the best preserved residences of the Knights. The building was inaugurated as the National Museum in 1958 when it housed the archaeological as well as the Fine Arts collection, which is now in another palace nearby. The last room exhibits some pottery from the temple period, together with tools of flint and obsidian, beads and other ornaments, all of which illustrate the remarkable artistic skill and sophistication of the prehistoric dwellers of the Islands.

The museum illustrates chronologically the cultural history of the Island of Gozo from prehistoric times to the early modern period. The Museum of Archaeology is located within the walls of the Citadel just behind the old gate. It is housed in a seventeenth century building, Palazzo Bondi, which originally served as a town hall where the Knights of St John used to receive their distinguished visitors. At one time, it was the residence of a prominent Gozitan family after whom the Palace is named. In 1937, on the initiative of Sir Harry Luke, a former Lieutenant Governor of Malta, this town house in the Spanish Renaissance style was restored. In 1960, it was inaugurated as the first public museum in Gozo and exhibited archaeological as well as ethnographic artefacts. Following refurbishment, it was re-opened in 1986 as the Archaeology Museum of Gozo. For museum opening times, see

    Extractions: Malta Today archives Professor Anthony Bonanno would like to see the artefacts found at the Brockdorff Circle exhibited in Malta for the first time. Julian Manduca caught up with him in his farmhouse at the University of Malta TAL QROQQ: Professor Anthony Bonanno changed his academic direction when, during his last years at university studying classics, he realised there was little future for his subject. He decided to take up archaeology, which was not taught at the university then. "I suppose the passion for the subject might have been latent, but it came to the surface at the time I was graduating in classics." Many years later it was ironically Professor Bonanno who was eventually to re-introduce archaeology at the university in 1987, when the Faculty of Arts was re-instated. Now Bonanno remains fascinated with a subject that has become his passion: "it is the novelty, that state of flux, archaeology is always changing, if you look at the study of the origins of humanity, there are continuous discoveries that tend to change previous ideas, and this applies to the whole range of periods of archaeology."

    http://www.otsf.org/GozoCircle.html
    
    Extractions: T he recent archaeological excavation at the Gozo Stone Circle with the wealth of finds recovered and the data painstakingly collected, will eventually give us a better dimension of understanding of early man in Gozo and his environment. The story of the Gozo Stone Circle you are going to hear comes from a layman and a non-academic. My credentials for speaking on this subject are based on a thorough knowledge of the area, extensive research of the site in museums, libraries and archives both local and foreign, an interest acquired in archaeology -and a love for Gozo. Years later my researches directed me to look for and to discover the Gozo Stone Circle. As a result, the excavation concentrated on this area and to my great satisfaction proved to be the right location. In 1959 I reported this megalithic wall to Dr. David Trump, then Curator of Archaeology. We inspected the site together and he included it in the 1959/60 Museum Report as "a megalithic site with IIB [Borg in-Nadur Period - 1500 - 800 BC] sherds in the angle between the old and the new roads into the village of Xaghra". We did not realise then, that under our feet lay a great wealth of archaeological material and that this wall was part of the Gozo Stone Circle. The secrets of the site were still hidden in libraries, archives and underground. In 1828, the first Duke of Buckingham arrived in Gozo on his yacht where he spent two days seeing the antiquities of the Island. The Duke's visit to Gozo is of major importance for us, because he commissioned a series of water-colour drawings of Ggantija and the Stone Circle from the German painter Charles Frederick Brocktorff who had established himself as an artist in Valletta. These are the only photographic-type of records that have survived and which give a clear graphic picture of the state of these monuments soon after they were excavated. One of the water-colour pictures of great interest shows the excavation at the Stone Circle while in progress.

    Extractions: In the first book he co-authored, In Search of the Mountain of God: The Discovery of the Real Mt. Sinai (Cornuke and Halbrook 2000), he followed the ideas of the late Ron Wyatt and claims to have found the real Mt. Sinai at Jebel al-Lawz in Saudi Arabia (ancient Midian). Ron Wyatt was the originator of the idea and first explored the mountain with this hypothesis in mind, yet Wyatt is only mentioned in passing in Mr. Cornuke’s book (2000: 218). The Bible clearly places Mt. Sinai outside the Land of Midian (Ex. 18:27; Num. 10:29,30). The archaeological finds observed by adventurers visiting the area were completely misidentified and misinterpreted. The claims that Mt. Sinai is Jebel al-Lawz in Saudi Arabia have been carefully examined and refuted (Franz 2000: 101-113; Standish and Standish 1999).

From the very beginning, I have felt that with enough research, Biblical investigation, and on-site observation, we would stand a good chance of finding what no one to date has been able to find - the precise location of Paul's shipwreck along the coast of Malta. Like many other traditions relating to Biblical events, there is a traditionally held site for the location of Paul's shipwreck. This place is on the island of Malta in a body of water called "St. Paul's Bay," a tradition started by a priest in the 1500s but not supported in any way by historical evidence.
