More on the contrasting reality that exists afar from the positive headlines on Malta’s history and prehistory.
When they said they were going to “rewrite the history books” I was genuinely confused about whether there has been a swathe of new and recent publications that I was unaware of.
This is a digital copy of what they call “workbook” and “educational resources” and is used to teach history to young children in schools. I suppose this is what they were talking about in the press.
This is just a document compiled by a teacher, although this is a product that should supposedly have been supplied by a professional publisher. Note, that they are teaching children the defunct and incorrect dates of the “Arab occupation” and the “Norman occupation of 1091” instead of actually presenting the updated dates and information that Malta was predominantly Muslim from 1000 to the 1240s.
It’s incredible how they are still teaching the wrong history by literally teaching myths from Word documents writing in Comic Sans while they are telling the public they will be “updating the history books”.
Sure. They can’t even get their history right let alone write any history books.
