Malta: unexplored and mysterious

The iconoclastic UK based John Bartram has a career in media and intelligence. He believes that many of the prehistorical and historical sites of Malta that remain untouched are mysteries worthy of exploration. From The Fool (with quotes and pictures):

My parents retired to Malta, in the delightful village of Siggiewi. The island is the backdrop to 'Troy' and many other blockbusters. Whenever I've stayed there, as well as the swimming, diving and sightseeing, my favourite activity is archaeology..

On one visit, the head of the National Museum invited me to explore an area of interest, which I was glad to do. A year later, a letter from my mother contained a newspaper report that a team of Italian archaeologists had used my data and declared the site to be the biggest Punic-Roman villa known. Glad I didn't miss it, then!..

You have to be careful in using the term 'history' when talking of Malta, because in most cases it is inappropriate. What Malta specialises in is prehistory.
