Final answer:
The prehistoric temples with statues of a possible mother goddess are located on the island of Malta, distinct from the Minoan civilization's goddess representations found on Crete.
Step-by-step explanation:
The prehistoric temples that feature statues of a possible mother goddess are located on the island of Malta. These temples are renowned for their unique architectural qualities and the presence of iconic figurines, some of which are believed to represent a mother goddess or deity figure. The archaeological evidence from Crete, specifically at the Palace at Knossos, uncovered in the Temple Repositories, supports the idea of a goddess worship, including the 'Snake Goddess' sculptures.
Although the Minoan civilization on Crete is known for its strong artistic and religious expressions including those representing a goddess, the question specifically refers to prehistoric temples with statues associated with mother goddess worship, which is most strongly linked to Maltese temples.
