Featured in the film:
This collection of full-size
reproductions, projects and information panels |

The wonder begins
with a life-size sculptural interpretation of
the interior of a megalithic
temple!
Unless you've
been to the prehistoric temples in Malta,
you've never seen anything like it!
Artifact and pottery
reproductions help visitors step back more than 5,000 years
for an experiential
visit with prehistory.
Colorful information panels deliver basic information about a vanished civilization which may have been the ancestors of Minoans and Egyptian dynasties, as well as a basis for the myths of Atlantis. A video from the Discovery Network seeks to explain this advanced and enigmatic culture, illustrating astronomical alignments and sophisticated engineering in the ancient temples in addition to complex ritual imagery.
Try your hand at moving megaliths! The exhibition includes "hands-on" materials such as an array of musical instruments from around the world which visitors are encouraged to try. "Starting from scratch" with raw materials is a theme of the ANCIENT ISLAND Traveling Exhibition. Projects in various stages of development present the challenges of creating and making the basic necessities of life: from food to footwear to fishing nets. Perhaps an important message left by ancient ancestors in the stone temples of Malta is one of respecting our natural resources and more fully appreciating our modern conveniences.
Live personal presentation, slides, lectures, special effects and guided role-playing can help create a rich learning experience.
