Andante’s week on Malta’s first inhabitants: the stone temples and rock-cut tombs built some 5,000 years ago, when people on the islands were moving stones of up to 50 tonnes – a thousand years before the Great Pyramid. The focus is the archipelago’s prehistoric archaeology, among the oldest ritual structures in the world.
