The giants of Mont’e Prama: Extraterrestrial robots thousands of years ago?
The Giants of Mont’e Prama are two-and-a-half-meter-tall statuaries erected by the Nuragic culture, who survived on the island of Sardinia in between the eighteenth as well as second centuries BC.
Researchers are divided on whether these Nuragians came from on the island or if they are linked to the Sea Peoples, that ravaged the Mediterranean shore during the fourteenth as well as thirteenth centuries BC. In the latter theory, they would certainly have landed in Sardinia following their defeat in their unsuccessful invasion of Egypt in the 13th as well as 12th centuries BC.
The Giants, or Colossi, the term provided to the sculptures by archaeologist Giovanni Lilliu, were uncovered in 1974 near the village of Cabras on the island’s west coastline.
They are shield-carrying warriors, archers, and also combatants. Aside from its terrific dimension, one of its most distinguishing attributes is the eyes, which are produced by 2 concentric discs. It’s vague if they’re mythical heroes or gods.
Due to the fact that the exploration occurred near a tomb on the very same date, it is presumed that they were established as guards around it. Nevertheless, this is also not completely obvious.
They may have belonged to a bordering temple that has yet to be uncovered. After 40 years of study and repair, the Giants were introduced to the public in March 2015 at Cagliari’s National Archaeological Museum.
With the almost 5,000 components uncovered, 33 Giants could be built in all. In September 2016, 2 even more components were discovered, both of which were complete and intact.
According to radar scans, a third part may be hidden deeper. The most recent 2 found Giants are unique because, unlike those seen formerly, they hold their guards linked sideways rather than over the head.
A posture that is very equivalent to that of a little Nuragic bronze from the exact same time discovered in Viterbo (north of Rome), the age of which is particular: 9th century BC.
If the link is verified, we would certainly be checking out the oldest instance of titans (gigantic sculptures) discovered in the Mediterranean, going back several centuries before the Greek titans. As well as there’s even more given that academics believe the Giants put on masks similar to those utilized currently in Sardinian conventional celebrations.
Although they were not similar, this would suggest that certain ancestral events as well as personalizeds had actually continued to be on the island for almost 3,000 years. What are your ideas on the Mont’e Prama Giants?
