Sicily was the homeland of the Neolithic people, who populated Malta towards the end of the 6th millennium and the beginning of the 5th century BC with the Stentinello Culture (5100-4500 BC). It was during the second wave of migration of the Neolithic people that the cultural phenomenon of the Maltese megalithic temples (3600-2500 BC) was created. Regarding stone tools, for which mineral resources were lacking in the Maltese geological formation, Sicily (and more specifically the Hyblaean Mountains) was also the land of origin of flint and the obligatory passage of obsidian from Lipari and Pantelleria, as well as greenstone for axes and axe-shaped pendants coming from Calabria and the Western Alps.
