correct!

The buffalo jump was used for 5,500 years by the indigenous peoples of the plains to kill buffalo, by driving them off the 10 metre high cliff. The Blackfoot drove the buffalo from a grazing area in the Porcupine Hills about 3 kilometres west of the site to the "drive lanes," lined by hundreds of cairns, then at full gallop over a cliff, breaking their legs, rendering them immobile. The cliff itself is about 300 metres long, and at its highest point drops 10 metres into the valley below. The site was in use at least 6,000 years ago, and the bone deposits are 10 metres deep. After falling off the cliff, the buffalo carcasses were processed at a nearby camp.
In Blackfoot, the name for the site is Estipah-skikikini-kots. According to legend, a young Blackfoot wanted to watch the buffalo plunge off the cliff from below, but was buried underneath the falling buffalo. He was later found dead under the pile of carcasses "where he got his head smashed in

I grew up not far from there in the same prairie landscape and thought it was a buffalo jump right away. The Native Indians used to herd the buffaloes over the cliff to kill them.

Maltese islands temple Hager Qim

The temple of Ħaġar Qim IPA: [hæʤər'ʔi:m] stands on a ridge some two kilometers away from the village of Qrendi.[1] It was excavated for the first time in 1839 and it dates from the Tarxien phase (c.3200-2500 BC), and is one of a several megalithic sites in the Malta archipelago. Much of interest has been unearthed at Ħaġar Qim, notably a decorated pillar altar, two table-altars and some of the "fat lady" statues on display in the National Museum of Archaeology, Valletta.
Ħaġar Qim overlooks the sea and the islet of Filfla and it is adjacent to another remarkable temple site, Mnajdra, which is in a hollow further down the cliff-face. The surrounding area, which is typical of Mediterraneangarrigue and spectacular in its starkness and isolation, is designated as a Heritage Park.
