Malta: A Timeless Treasure Revealed

Imagine an island that’s not only breath-taking but also steeped in stories waiting to be uncovered. Malta, with its sparkling blue seas and sun-kissed shores, has just revealed another layer of its magic.

New archaeological discoveries including stone tools, hearths and food waste at a cave site in Latnija, Mellieha, indicate that humans have been living in Malta for 8,500 years - a staggering1,000 years earlier than anyone thought!

Doesn't that make you want to explore its ancient wonders?

Malta’s Incredible New Chapter

These recent findings have unveiled a history even deeper than we imagined.

This means humans they arrived on the island way before the widespread adoption of agriculture. Experts are theorizing that these early settlers made the journey in simple dugout canoes, making this new exciting discovery the oldest evidence of long-distance seafaring in the Mediterranean Sea far prior to the invention of boats with sails. These early inhabitants are the earliest known hunter-gatherer sea farers in history, which raises the question, does the island have unknown precious connections across the wider region?

Picture standing in Mellieha, where the traces of these courageous settlers were found, and feeling the whispers of a world long gone. It’s awe-inspiring to know that Malta was a hub of life even before its iconic temples were built.
