Given more "multi-culturalism," Europe could one day aspire to the great equality of Africa. See, this could be future Europeans, cooking a meal.

Unfortunately on the internet one does not find much pictures related to Maltese Culture. I found this impersonification of Melita though which is very nice:

A picture from the Kukkanja from the Nadur, Gozo Carnival from this February 2005.
![]() Information on the Kukkanja: [Extract from: LocationMalta.com] The "Kukkanja" A carnival attraction was added in 1721 called Il-Kukkanja (the cockaigne), which proved to be extremely popular. It did not last very long as Grand Master De Rohan suppressed it and an attempt by the British to revive it was unsuccessful. The Kukkanja was held in the city main square. This is how it was described by one of the locals: "Long beams were fixed against the guard house opposite the palace, and between each beam, rope-ladders were fastened, the whole being covered over with branches of trees in leaf, to which were tied live animals, baskets full of eggs, hams, sausages and all kinds of provisions. The wooden edifice was crowned with a globe, made up of hoops and covered with linen cloth, on which stood the figure of Fame holding a flag with the Grand Master's coat of arms. Crowds of people assembled in the spacious square and at a given signal started the attack on the Kukkanja. The provisions became the property of those who, having seized them, were able to carry them safely through the crowds. To the first individual who reached the figure of Fame was allotted some pecuniary remuneration which was well earned, considering the struggle he had gone through to reach the object, and on the standard being taken to be returned to the Grand Master, the cloth-covered globe burst open and out came a flight of pigeons."
