Initiative overview
The MEGALITH project is a research initiative focused on preserving Malta’s ancient megalithic temples through the use of AI and simulation techniques. By training AI models on historical and simulated data, the project can predict how stones will degrade under varying meteorological conditions and climate change scenarios.
Key objectives include:
- Assessing environmental impacts on megalithic structures
- Predicting stone degradation over time to inform conservation strategies
- Supporting preservation planning with data-driven insights
The project combines expertise from heritage conservation, AI, and environmental science. The AI models allow researchers and policymakers to evaluate the effectiveness of preservation measures before implementation, reducing risks and costs.
