Wow! Popular history content creator shines spotlight on Malta’s mysterious Mnajdra Temples
Malta’s ancient past is once again in the digital spotlight; thanks to a recent video shared by popular history content creator This Is Ancient. Known for blending storytelling, philosophy, and digital recreations, the creator behind the viral Instagram account has turned their lens toward the enigmatic Mnajdra Temples, and the internet is taking notice.
The video, posted just a day ago, has already gathered over 45,000 views and sparked lively conversation among the account’s 1 million followers. In it, the creator explores the temple complex’s three distinct structures, offering viewers a glimpse into the site’s architectural layout and spiritual significance.
What captivated many, however, was the account’s focus on Mnajdra’s solar alignment - a remarkable feature that sees sunlight illuminate the temple’s inner chambers during equinoxes and solstices. “What makes Mnajdra truly extraordinary is its alignment with the sun,” the creator captioned, highlighting a mystery that continues to fascinate archaeologists and visitors alike.
Fans quickly jumped into the comments, sharing their own experiences visiting during the equinox and expressing awe at Malta’s prehistoric legacy.
