Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Ġgantija (Maltese pronunciation: [dʒɡanˈtiːja], "place of giants") is a megalithic temple complex from the Neolithic era (c. 3600–2500 BC), on the Mediterranean island of Gozo in Malta. The Ġgantija temples are the earliest of the Megalithic Temples of Malta and are older than the pyramids of Egypt. Their makers erected the two Ġgantija temples during the Neolithic, which makes these temples more than 5,500 years old and the world's second-oldest existing manmade religious structures after Göbekli Tepe in present-day Turkey. Together with other similar structures, these have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Megalithic Temples of Malta.

Summary from Svenska / Swedish Wikipedia (svwiki)


Ggantija, ("Jättens torn") är ett förhistoriskt tempelområde som ligger i önationen Malta på ön Gozo. Templen och ytterligare sex megalitiska tempelbyggnader upptogs på Unescos världsarvslista 1980.

Summary from Nederlands / Dutch Wikipedia (nlwiki)

De megalithische tempels van Ġgantija (IPA: [dʒɡanˈtiːja]) bevinden zich op het Maltese eiland Gozo. Ze dateren uit de periode 3600-2500 v.Chr., het zogenaamde Chalcolithicum van de Ggantijafase tot de Tarxienfase. Ze werden opgegraven in 1827. De twee tempels zijn de eerste van de vele megalithische tempels en grotten op de Maltese archipel met hoefijzervormige of niervormige elementen in het grondplan. Ze zijn misschien gebruikt in het kader van een vruchtbaarheidscultus, wat door sommigen wordt afgeleid uit vrouwenbeeldjes die er zijn gevonden.
