We just do not want to be left in a void of ignorance, do we?


 
 
 
Makes you wonder how the Post Modernists keep on going.

By the way, if you are a supporter of 14C dating, then Malta has among its relics remains older than both Stonehenge and the Pyramids!

During the great Salt wars, Malta was a very important place, for both the catching of certain fish, and the availability of salt to preserve it!

It was also the home to pirates, of which the "order" was a practicer of!

The knights could be better described as privateers or employing privateers (legalized pirates). This practice was expanded on by the English and then passed to the United States which used privateers during the Revolutionary War.  I think a variation of the concept was used by the Confederacy as late as  the American Civil war.
