Ghar Dalam

---

We discovered there is a cave here that Archaeologists have found life existed 5,200 BC. And we were just nearby yesterday!! So back we went today to Ghar Dalam where during the Iceage natural Land Bridges formed between Malta & Sicily when the sea levels dropped during this period. Giving escape for many animals whose habitats further North had frozen. Malta had a Rain Age instead of an Ice Age. Many archaeological diggings unearthed huge Elephant, Hippopotamus, Deer, Wolves etc of various ages & sizes as they adapted to the ecological changes over the Pleistocene period.
A fascinating display & we ventured down into the caves which displayed the layers of the periods & some stalagmites/stalagtites. One of the oldest places in history we have visited.
Some of the findings came from 180,000 - 130,000 years ago.

Afternoon provided time to do one last wander around our area. Still hot & so back home to pack/organize for our early start.
