2000 years before the Pyramids and Stonehenge, we have evidence of man’s presence in the ‘Cave of Darkness’ – Ghar Dalam on the Mediterranean island of Malta.
This remarkable cave provides evidence of man first setting foot on the Maltese islands. At that time the islands were joined to the mainland – we are talking 5200 BC; that’s over 7000 years ago! By examining the different ғossιʟs contained in the cave’s geological strata at different times and various depths, we learned of a remarkable assortment of animal life and unique plants.
