MONTI PRAMA, SARDINIA: Observing the night, I try the eyes of the Sun

complessonuragico.1Villages with round huts gathered between them, with base ring-shaped stone, were in the vicinity of the nuraghis and holy wells, as Su Romanzesu , Su Nuraxi and Serra Orrios. Just in these wells, were found many votive bronzes, those who speak of a mysterious people, depicting boats and human figures, animals and mysterious beings.

If we have time, I would like to go in a particular place – in Monti Prama, alberone.1Sinis, near Cabras – where recent excavations have brought to light the huge fragments of giant statues. Watching them, you will not be able to decipher their expressions, but their large eyes are certainly the ones that surprise you the most. Yes, you they can drawing inside your notebook.

As I told you yesterday, those places soldiers and civilians, but also religious and of burial, are scattered throughout the island, from nearly 4,000 years, along with underground tombs, dolmens and menhirs, identical to many that I have seen in Northern Europe but also in north Africa.

Even this night, they force me to stay awake for a long time, listening to the silence of the stones of sandstone of Monti Prama, trying to imagine an expression of the giants who have the eyes of the Sun.
