Hello All, Congratulations to Mr. David Grima and to Stella Maris College for their accomplishment in building a beautiful Human Sundial, which is very nice and constructed with great looking materials and decorations. I would like to point out, however, that it is not the world's largest sundial, as the timesofmalta.com article has indicated, although it may be the worlds largest sundial 'made out of volcanic stone', as Mr. Grima was careful to point out in the video. There is at least one Human Sundial that I know of, located at 'Chatsworth House' in the UK that has a diameter of eight meters, or one meter larger than the Malta sundial. In addition, the Chatsworth House Human Sundial is of a "SunClock" style that is corrected to indicate clock time instead of Sun Time, and which is also set-up to automatically adjust for Daylight Saving Time. Thank you, Paul Ratto SunClocks North America 438-792-4823
