As a Sardinian archaeologist, I'm amazed by the level of detail you went through in this video. Just to let your subscribers know, the information you reported was correct and very precise. I have to say thank you for spreading the knowledge of our ancient culture. Just one more thing. In the last years, it's more and more spread the idea that the "nuragic" bronzes are not the reflection of the nuraghi builders, but of the people from the next phase late bronze age/iron age. Also, the funerary practices change, abandoning the old giant's tombs for single burials. Votive swords and "bronzetti" were made when the towers were built no more. The culture it's always "nuragic" but the phases are differentiated. Anyway, this is a matter of discussion between archaeologists. Thanks again for your excellent work.

I saw your comment after I had made mine. I'm sure that you could answer my question. Has anything similar been found in Corsica? Given that the two islands are so close together, I would be surprised if they did not share similarities.

I spent three weeks solo exploring the northern half of Sardinia in September 2018. I am not superstitious or easily spooked, but many places on the island are truly eerie. I visited a number of Nuragic sights, and was often the only person there. I got caught in a thunderstorm at one of them, and it suddenly felt like I had been transported back in time. Yes, the beaches there are nice, but the history of Sardinia is compelling and unique.

When i was a child we went to Sardinia for Vacation, and i managed to convince my parents to visit multiple ruins of this civilization. I only knew them from a comic where the nuragic ruins were mentioned. that was a really special experience, reading about an ancient civilization and then being able to not only see the ruins, but being there. One of my best memories from childhood.

This topic is a favorite of mine. I've always been so interested in this culture. I spent 8 months in italy but never got a chance to go to Sardinia to look at their tombs. It's on my bucket list.

As a Sardinian anthropology, I'm very glad that you brought this studies about the ancient Nuragic Civilisation. Great work.

Wow. Every time I start thinking I have a half-decent grasp of what was going on in the ancient world, I get a nice surprise like this. I'd love to see more like this, only about other somewhat isolated places. It's fascinating, how long-lasting cultures change over time, due to changes in environment or contact with outsiders. Cultures that manages to retain their identity, despite outside groups invading, always amaze me. I've paid too much attention to the larger, more powerful civilizations;, and not enough to the ones that didn't go out and conquer all their neighbors. How many other cultures have I ignored? No idea, but I'm getting more interested lately. I can't think of the name of the islands in the Atlantic that I'm thinking of, but I've been seeing videos about them popping up recently. Until those appeared in my feed, I'd barely remembered those islands existed...and no idea that they'd been inhabited for thousands of years. Humans seem to have gotten to just about any inhabitable land you can name, long enough ago that we barely know anything at all about them. I think it would be interesting to do a sort of survey of all these little places, especially the ones that haven't been studied extensively.

I normally just dislike British people but you are an aristocrat of mind, culture and life and a light in the darkness.

Wonder if they found any mummies in the tombs because love to hear about the genetic history of the island.

Glad the Sardinian culture survived, so many ancient cultures, didn't. Excellent video.

Thank you for the care, detail and respect with which you told the history of our ancestors. As someone else has already pointed out in the comments, you may find very interesting to research a bit the (somewhat) recent findings of the giant statues of Monte Prama, as they have brought new light to the nuragic horned warriors. Also, it's important to know, for anyone who doesn't know our history, that even if most history books (unfortunately the same books we Sardinians have to study at school) always report that the Roman Empire colonized Sardinia... research confirms that the romans never actually managed to do that, only succeeding in taking control of the southern coast. As you rightly reported this is also scientifically proven by genetic data, as Sardinians today are still the people that are (genetically) the closest to the people of the neolithic age (anyone can easily google this, even in the english language there's many articles). Lastly, Dan, I think you or anyone who's loving this video may find really interesting reading about the hidden nuragic village of Tiscali, as its history is fascinating. For anyone who's writing in the comments that they'd love to come visit our island: please when you do don't just make use of our beautiful beaches, also try to see something about our great civilisation. Awesome video, it deserves a Part 2!

Vous faites un travail fantastique. Bravo ! L'Italie est le pays où il existe le plus de sites archéologiques au monde. Or, la région d'Italie comportant et, de loin, le plus de sites archéologiques en Italie est la Sardaigne. Donc la Sardaigne est la région du monde comportant le plus de sites archéologiques au monde. Un grand nombre de ces sites date du 2ème millénaire avant JC. Plus de 6500 nuraghes sont encore debout de nos jours. Pourquoi cette réalité a-t-elle été occultée pendant des siècles ? Les Sardes nuragiques étaient en avance de plusieurs siècles en matière de métallurgie, en hydraulique (pozzi sacri, notamment Santa Cristina que vous montrez à juste titre dans votre vidéo), architecture (voûtes nuragiques appelées à tort " tholos " - si Dédale a existé, il était Sarde) et en astronomie (Michael Hoskin, spécialiste d'archéoastronomie et professeur à Cambridge a qualifié le nuraghe Santu Antine de Torralba "d'ouvrage en pierre sèche le plus complexe à la surface de la terre"). Le nuraghe Arrubiu de Orroli vieux de 3500 ans faisait 27 mètres de haut ! Cela en fait probablement le bâtiment à usage d'habitation le plus haut de la terre jusqu'à la construction du phare d'Alexandrie. Mais un phare est-il vraiment un bâtiment à usage d'habitation ? Il faut s'interroger également sur les capacités de navigation de ces populations : la connaissance de l'astronomie permet de s'orienter de nuit sur la mer en l'absence d'instruments. Qui aura le courage de récrire l'histoire des Étrusques (Tyrsenoi = constructeurs de tours) et des Phéniciens (les Cananeens ne naviguaient pas avant le 10ème siècle) au vu de ces éléments ? Il faut lire Ugas (Shardana e Sardegna), Zortea et l'article récent (2019) de Bar Shai sur le site d'El Ahwat, le plus ancien site de métallurgie du fer au proche Orient. Pourquoi les analyses ADN sur des squelettes philistins donnent-ils la plus grande proximité génétique avec les Sardes (au-delà des Cananéens ce qui est logique) ? Encore un grand merci à vous pour nous donner matière à réfléchir sur tous ces sujets passionnants !
