Ula "ulpa" from Poland went on holidays to Malta. Malta is one of the countries i would like to visit, and look, postage there is cheap, only 0,37€ for a stamp to Europe :o I guess Ula send a few from there and i've received one of them with the Megalithic Temples of Ggantija, Mnajdra and Hagar Qim.
"The Megalithic Temples of Malta are a series of prehistoric monuments in the Maltese archipelago. Archaeologists believe that these megalithic complexes are the result of local innovations in a process of cultural evolution. This led to the building of several temples of the Ġgantija phase (3600-3000 BC) and culminated in the large tarxien temple complex, which remained in use until 2500 BC. After this date, the temple building culture disappeared.The Ggantija temples were listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site in 1980. In 1992, the UNESCO Committee further extended the existing listing to include five other megalithic temple sites. These are hagar Qim, L-Imnajadra, Ta'Skorba and Tarxien. Heritage Malta today protects the sites, while ownership of the surrounding lands varies site-by-site. They are the oldest free-standing structures on Earth." - in: wikipedia
