masterpieces."
In 1992
UNESCO
recognized
Ħaġar Qim and four other
Maltese megalithic structures as
World
Heritage Sites.
Vere Gordon
Childe, Professor of
Prehistoric
European Archeology
and director
of the
Institute of Archaeology
in the
University of London
from 1946-1957
visited Ħaġar Qim. Ħaġar Qim's
builders used
globigerina
limestone
in the temple's
construction.
As a result of
this, the temple has suffered from severe
weathering
and surface flaking
over the
millennia.
In 2009 work was completed on a
protective tent.
