130 MT - Hal Saflieni Hypogeum (1980)

Brief Description

"The Hypogeum is an enormous subterranean structure excavated c. 2500 B.C., using cyclopean rigging to lift huge blocks of coralline limestone. Perhaps originally a sanctuary, it became a necropolis in prehistoric times."

哈尔•萨夫列尼地下宫殿
"哈尔·萨夫列尼地下宫殿是一个巨大的地下建筑,建于约公元前2500年,它是利用大型的传动索运输巨石和珊瑚石灰石建造而成。这座地下宫殿可能曾是避难所,但从史前时期起便成为大墓地。"
