And may one ask how they anchored the causeway below the permanent structure? The studies to preserve everything within a few meters of the temples endless, surface torba included, led to the design with as little anchoring points as possible.

This beside the impossibility of guaranteeing security in the dark in such a place as Hagar Qim.
