What a wonderful place ! I would love to own a property like this. Who does own these ruins; Government, Historical departments, landholders ? I find it so disappointing that I missed out on seeing them on the occasions I was in that part of the World ! The construction of the tower brings to mind the Trulli of Puglia or the Bories of France.
They may be on private land but they are under the administration of the department of archaeology. The sites with an entrance ticket are being outsourced to local cooperations which take care of them and keep them clean and can ask a fee to visitors (usually between 5 and 10 EUR). Those that are not attended, even if on private land, can legally be visited by anyone, and land owners should always keep an access to the site. This is not always the case, but mostly it is. I have been able to go to any unattended site I ever decided to visit.
I visited Santu Antine in 2023. And many more nuraghi along with other remains of the nuragic civilization which is truly fascinating. There you have bronze age buildings still standing ! Santu Antine is one of my favorite. Sardinia has a lot to offer, for various tastes.
Similarities stop at the rounded shape. Different periods, different people, different origins. You could establish that kind of similarities with any rounded shape building on earth, whatever the time and space but it doesn't tell us anything about the people who build them and their respective cultures.
Of course. I recommend this episode of my documentary on Sardinian archaeological sites, where I compare the nuraghi with other similar structures around the world: ua-cam.com/video/YLKen3vMk5E/v-deo.html
Ma guarda che i Dun, che si pronunciano guarda caso "Dan" da Shardan, il popolo di Dan, sono di matrice architettonica Nuragica!! I Sardi antichi infatti arrivarono fino in Inghilterra Scozia e Danimarca fino in Egitto e manda, inoltre è stato trovato un nuraghe anch'esso di matrice Sarda, in Israele.. quindi può essere giusto che quelli in Scozia siano stati costituiti da genti diverse, ma genti nate dai Sardi..il gonnellino che usano oggi, li usavano gli antichi sardi e egizi e le cornamuse sono un evoluzione delle launeddas Sarde, che gli strumenti musicali più antichi al mondo
You say: "it takes some effort EVEN for a man my height to go up the stairs". Does that mean you think that the people who build this was of a more GIGANTIC size? :)
Simply amazing! Thank you for sharing your adventures.❤
I can sometimes feel the residual energy of these ancient wonders you visit!
Wow!!
Thank you for sharing this!!

Thank you!!! Never have I seen this structure before. Amazing🇨🇦👍🏻🇨🇦
What a mystery. With so much labor put into something like that, they had to have had a special purpose.
What a construction ! It was a House for a King ! :O)

Very very nice. what the heck were they doing there?
nice question!
Thanks, have you ever noticed the similarity between the Nuraghe and the Brochs that only occur on the east side of Scotland?

Two words...Occam's razor...
What is the age of this structure?
1700-1500 B.C.
The main tower or "core" of the structure could go back to 1800 BCE, according to a 2007 archaeological digging and finds. Middle bronze age, still.
Amazing structure. It’s very over-engineered by our standards. It makes you wonder who built them and for what purpose. 👍
But we know who and why...
Very strange how small it looks from the outside. it doesn't seem like the inside matches.
Maybe a Bronze Age Tardis, lol.
@anthonydoyle7370 I was never big on Dr Who I was more reminded of the original Land Of The Lost the alien lizard's phone booth sized obelisk...

You’re mining the camera way too fast. Slow down
