Thank you - I have been reading a lot about it - I have a very close Maltese friend who has been a great help with books and internet sites and introductions and advice and currency (Maltese Lire are not available in Australia). He went to school with just about everybody - it is a very small place.
There is one especially good site;
http://web.infinito.it/utenti/m/malta_mega_temples/index.html
Not only a very good pictorial record of the temples but also tells one how to pronounce those unpronouncable names.
He has given me a list of places I MUST see and a list of people I MUST phone.
I'm mostly interested in the temples and the fortifications which he has given me a lot of information about as well - he is a historian and fortifications are his specialty.
