Explore the enigmatic Nuragic Civilization of Bronze Age Sardinia in this 21-minute educational video that investigates the mysterious stone structures called Nuraghe. Discover how these ancient people built over ten thousand tower-like structures resembling medieval castles more than two millennia before the Middle Ages, during the time of Minoans, Mycenaeans, and Ramses II. Learn about the evolution of these remarkable structures from proto-nuraghe to complex multi-towered compounds, with special focus on the UNESCO World Heritage site Su Nuraxi di Barumini. The video examines the origins, development, and eventual decline of the Nuragic culture, including how they were affected by the Late Bronze Age Collapse that reshaped Mediterranean civilizations.
