In less than a week, a petition which calls for the revocation of a permit for an apartment block mere metres away from the Ġgantija temples, is close to reach the 2,500 goal.
With almost 2,400 goals as of time of writing, the petition asks the Planning Authority to revoke the permit approved on the 9th of November 2023.
‘With seven votes against one, the Planning Authority approved a 22-apartment block of flats and 20 basement garages near the historic temple site, despite UNESCO mandating that a heritage impact assessment is required for any developments within buffer zones.’
‘Ġgantija Archaeological Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site consisting of two structures built over 5,000 years ago, between c.3600 and c.3200 BCE, about 1000 years before the magnificent pyramids of Egypt.’
The permit immediately drew controversy, with many groups and activists calling for the revocation and UNESCO also warning against such a development.

The North Hertfordshire Museum has decided to relabel its exhibit on Roman Emperor Elagabalus, acknowledging the possibility that the emperor may have identified as a trans woman.
The museum will now use female pronouns, referring to Elagabalus as “she” and “her.” This decision is based on historical references suggesting the emperor once said, “call me not Lord, for I am a Lady.”
Elagabalus ruled the Roman Empire for a brief four years, from 218 AD to their assassination in 222 AD at the age of 18. The emperor’s gender identity has been a longstanding and debated topic among scholars.
While classical texts, such as those by Cassius Dio, describe Elagabalus’s marriages to both men and women and their use of effeminate language, historians caution against taking these accounts at face value, given the biased and hostile perspectives of the authors.
Dr. Shushma Malik, a Cambridge University classics professor, notes the lack of direct evidence from Elagabalus and emphasises that references to gender fluidity in Roman literature were often used for political criticism.
The museum consulted LGBTQ+ charity Stonewall to ensure its displays are up-to-date and inclusive. Councillor Keith Hoskins, executive member for Enterprise and Arts at North Herts Council, believes the decision reflects standard practice and respects Elagabalus’s explicit identification as a woman, citing historical evidence.
