Several
of the paired sites are located on a southeast facing slope, with the
first temple to be built the western one, which is also always the
most massive. The second temple was built to the east. More
importantly, the temples were built facing East-South-East, which
means that the first rays of light of the winter solstice sunrise
entered the doorway and reached a specifically designed area inside
the temple.

Today, Tarxien is surrounded by modern buildinsg, but wedge yourself
in a side street, and you will note that we are not only on a hill,
but that the sea is also visible. The same, of course, applies for the
Hagar Qim/Mnajdra complex. Coincidence, or design? Off the coast of
this complex lies the small island - some call it a rock - of Filfla.
The Hagar Qim, Mnajdra and Filfla are roughly aligned, but certain
doors and windows from these temples are clearly aligned to the
island, suggesting it held some importance. Hence, archaeologists have
noted that the island is cleft-shaped, and evokes a bull's horns.
Coincidence, or evidence that the site was chosen because of the
presence of this island, and its bull-like connotation?

Today, we know that the sea level in
5000 BC was no less than 15 metres lower than it is today; by 2500 BC,
the water level had already risen by almost ten metres!
