It is nice to see history being protected in this way, rather that open to the elements of the weather.

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

There are so many places that need this

[@johnembery7801]

Another place I didn't know about, Good work Steve. Few years back there was a road around the back of the main site that was used to miss the roundabout on the main road, I think they must have closed the road when they started this project because I could see they were doing something never knew what untill your video today.👍👍

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Yes That short cut was blocked off ..there are some VIP's with villas in that area with friends ..So thats was on the cards to be cut off ...lol 😂

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

They were first recorded in the late 1800s but were only investigated in 1933 by Captain Charles Zammit, before part of the site was covered over by a new road leading down to Burmarrad. so we are lucky to ever see them

Steve you should have been a tour guide 😇 you seems you know more interesting places around the Islands them most Maltese I think. I never heard of this place and it look amazing. It also looks like it is very popular. Mary Spiteri great singer one of my favourite songs is "Malta" 👍👍👍

Thats interesting sir.

Thank you

[@lisagalea9909]

at 26:50 you told the viewers it goes down deeper but there was a barrier. after that barrier it just turns round the corner and goes into a slight deep squared hole. i went to check it out right after we saw u come out of the museum. as soon as u went out, we went in. but it was too late to say hi. my friend Ramon miles (medium) had an umbrella with him while waiting outside. he saw u and told me: isn't that the English man in Malta. I told him it is. i wanted to say hi but u where too far out then and we where next to go in to pay. well done for the video. u definitely know your history of Malta

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Maybe Next time we say hello ..I had a few video that day so did not hang Around, I wish I had researched more, ,Because its full of history over there and for years I have been skipping doing a video

[@charlenegatt7142]

Hi my friend Steve 🙏.

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Hello there! Thank you for the support

[@geologist3216]

Wow Steve , you sure know how to pick`em , another place I had no idea existed . Just a couple of questions , how long were they in use for and what did they do to the poor unfortunates who ended up there ? Did they get turfed out after their lease was up ?

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Oh ..no idea about the lease situation ?? They were first recorded in the late 1800s dating back to 4th century AD , But were only investigated in 1933 by Captain Charles Zammit, before part of the site was covered over by a new road leading down to Burmarrad. Further studies in 2004, 2013, and 2014, have brought the site back to life with new discoveries and hence, new interpretations.

[@martingrech5090]

You really succeed in making me ashamed of myself. Beacuse I'm Maltese and I never visited half of the places you're showing us. Im seeing these places for the first time thanks to you. Steve how can I donate those 2.50 Euros a month please?

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

👍👍🤣🤣🤣 Never ..Be ashamed of anything!! Many maltese have never heard of the places i discover, mostly life takes over and people just do there day to day life, links are below of every video for everything, one off or regular payment on PayPal to become a VIP subscriber, or there is patron, for different lays of tiers , or j7st watching and commenting is also great support, thanks

[@mariofarrugia90]

on the 7 of june bars with clubs are going to open though a friend of ours said they will not which is probably not true as owners need money from customers then on 1 of july they will open their normal hours which for now is only until midnight unfortunately which is not fair for those who want to go have a couple of drinks with friends

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Who Knows whats going to happen Things changing everyday

[@mariofarrugia90]

it is already confirmed on the times of malta that they are opening though it depends on the owner on what he wants to do

[@mariofarrugia90]

i will be meeting my friends for a couple of drinks which is needed
