Sardinia’s Nuraghe & Giants’ Tombs

Thousands of Bronze Age stone towers, holy wells and the Monte d’Accoddi “pyramid”.

The alternative view

Megalithomania and others highlight giant legends, holy-well astronomy and links to a lost Mediterranean megalithic culture.

The mainstream view

Archaeologists attribute the nuraghi to the Nuragic civilisation (c. 1800–700 BCE); Santa Cristina’s well alignment with the lunar standstill is studied as archaeoastronomy.

We present both views respectfully and link to the original work so you can judge for yourself.
