The Megalithic Temples of Malta are the eleven prehistoric monuments of which seven are UNESCO World Heritage Sites built during three distinct time periods between 3000 BC and 700 BC approximately. They have been claimed as the oldest free-standing structures on Earth although the largely buried Göbekli Tepe complex is now believed to be older. Archaeologists believe that these megalithic complexes are the result of local innovations in a process of cultural evolution.
