OKAY, HERE’S THE STORY
Set the scene.
Ta’ Ħaġrat contains two megalithic structures, built from local Upper Coralline Limestone. A monumental doorway gives the larger one a memorable entrance.
Here’s the twist.
Before excavation, the remains appeared as a mound of stones in agricultural land. A large carob tree grew over them.
Why it still matters.
The structures were made with the materials and tools available to prehistoric builders. Their achievement does not need an invented lost technology to be impressive.
