Extract

The numerous tombs cut on the rocky ground at Malta have been considered, up to the present, to be of Phoenician origin. An attempt was made by later students to classify these rock-cut tombs in three periods, corresponding to the shape of the burial chambers and to the approach to them, mostly a more or less regular shaft.
