MALTA: Għar Dalam (Cave of Darkness or Elephant Cave)

[JasAlf5959]

Dear forevermk1942, thanks. I don't think they teach the Theory of Evolution, at least not in public schools but I left school half a century ago, so I don't know what they teach today.

Yes, Malta is packed with history and if someone gets truly interested in studying about it, s/he will find a lot to read. Jasmine googles all the time to learn about the history of various places we visit. She is extremely interested in Malta and its past.

We have many beautiful sceneries to enjoy.

I used to live across the road from Ghar Dalam, in the late 50's. The museum has certainly grown.

[JasAlf5959]

Even the road in front of Ghar Dalam has changed, in fact most of the south has changed a lot.

It was very quiet then. The container port wasn't there. I have some cine films that my dad shot in Malta in 1959. I should post them up here. We rented the Govenors house across the road. It is still there but now a convention centre I believe.

Malta used to be quieter all over but it is now more developed. Birzebbuga's Pretty Bay is extremely beautiful.

Please search for jasalf5959 pretty bay and you'll see a video we posted about that area.

Very interesting information!

One of the questions that comes to mind:

I understand that Malta is predominately a Catholic country. My question is, "Do the schools teach the Theory of Evolution opposing Creationism, as is taught in the USA?" USA teachers tend to forget that it is a theory and teach it as "proven" fact.

Malta is layer upon layer upon layer of rich history!

Jasmine and Alfred, all of your videos are interesting to me. Thank you for making them.

In Malta they teach evolution (which is fact, not theory) and not creationism, which is pure myth.

Thank you Jasmine & Alfred another great video.

What a pity that so few people in the world know about Malta's rich history.
