Malta: Another beautiful view of the Tarxien Temple that Carmelina and I [Charles Bray] saw as we came across an enormous half statue of the fat lady as you see in the picture in which is the symbol of fertility. It is probably to the Goddess of Fertility that these temples were erected. These people saw in Mother Nature, the mother who gave them their children and their food. According to the findings, these temples were never used for the sacrificing of humans but only for the sacrificing of animals, mainly goat, sheep, and ram. On one stone relief is carved a picture of these animals, which according to history, might have served as animals of sacrifice.
