Talk by John D. Evans
Fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge
The great megalithic buildings of Malta and her sister-island Gozo have for many years both excited and frustrated speculation about the prehistoric settlement of the island in the second and third millennia B.C. In this talk Mr. Evans, who has been excavating them for the past few months, gives the first report of new discoveries. He reveals that there is clear evidence about the nature and origins of the earliest settlers, about the development of these great temples of the island's finest early civilisation, and about the beliefs of the people who built them.
