Résumé en anglais

The prehistoric megalithic temples of the Maltese islands are the result of the combined ingeniousness, skikk and hard work of whole communities. The builders made use of the reciprocal weight of the blocks leaning one against the other and of a system of emeddments and bosses. The temples are undergoing severe and rapid degradation which began soon after their excavation.
