The Nuragic 'civilization' of Bronze and Iron Age Sardinia, known for its monumental stone towers, sacred wells and peculiar bronze votive figurines, has long fascinated travellers and archaeologists. Yet only recently have scholars outside the island recognized the potential significance of these unique island societies in the development of broader ancient Mediterranean cultural patterns. One reason has been the relative inaccessibility of recent reference works on the Nuragic evidence. The present Prehistory attempts to remedy the need for a complete and up-to-date synthesis of all extant evidence on Nuragic settlement, technology, economy, trade and ritual. This original interpretation of archaeological, historical and iconographic data constitutes the first modern study of the origins and development of these societies to appear in English.

A revelatory guide to one of the oldest and most mysterious civilizations of the Mediterranean With no written record of their own, the Nuragic civilization has long remained shrouded in mystery to contemporary scholars. The ancient Mediterranean civilization is thought to have occupied what is present-day Sardinia from the Bronze Age to 238 BCE, and it takes its name from the Sardinian word for the monument considered most representative of the culture: the "nuraghe". A nuraghe is a towering fortress constructed of large stone slabs stacked on top of one another, rough-hewn or cut with varying degrees of regularity, each containing one or more chambers. Over 7,000 nuraghi dot the island, along with other structures such as "sacred springs" and "giants' tombs." This book guides readers on a tour back in time through several European cities, exploring archaeological sites and uncovering the secrets of this enigmatic society with stunning photography accompanied by historical research.

This is the catalogue of an itinerant exhibition that will visit several cities in Europe, exploring and revealing the secrets of one of the most fascinating civilizations of the Mediterranean Sea. The Nuragic civilization takes its name from the Sardinian word for the monument considered most representative of this civilization: the "nuraghe". This consists of a tower construction built with large slabs of stone (rough-hewn or cut with varying degrees of regularity), which contained one or more chambers, one on top of the other, featuring the typical roof known as a "false dome" or "tholos". It appears both in the form of a single tower and as a complex, with a central tower surrounded by other towers. Villages of stone huts were built around many of the nuraghi. There are also other types of building: the "protonuraghi" (also known as "pseudonuraghi" or "corridor nuraghi"), the "giants' tombs", the "well temples" and "sacred springs", and the "megaron" temples. The archaeological data confirm that the Nuragic civilization was based on an agricultural and sheep-farming economy, but it also made significant use of mineral resources (particularly copper and lead).

Sardinia, 1222 BC, the Nuragic civilization is flourishing and Fish, the boy with long braids, comes back to his village, Geste, after the incredible adventure in the nuraghe of Antinoo, in the search of an elusive Lydian treasure. He is overwhelmed with the most gloomy discouragement and with disillusion, like all of us when the dream which we have invested so much work in and made enormous sacrifices for does not come true. But there is always a dim ray of hope and, for the lad, it is represented by the little female statuette that he has dexterously seized inside the Bull God nuraghe. The Mycenaean symbols engraved on it will be interpreted by the high priest Noname, an enigmatic figure, who will drive Fish to face again an adventurous journey through the wild regions of the central Sardinia, bound for Antinoo. His path will be studded with strange encounters, from which he will learn lessons that only real life can give us and, much against his will, he will find himself facing unexpected intrigues in what will prove to be a true Nuragic odyssey.

This graphic novel is meant to be a portrait of the Nuragic civilization which, at the time the novel is set, in 1222 BC, was the most advanced one in the western Mediterranean. Nuragic people did not leave any writings or, at least, they did not come to us. Nevertheless, they erected towers up to twenty meters tall, with tholos domes and helicoidal staircases inside their cyclopean stone walls. Cyclopean stone walls that just bear a close resemblance to the ones of the Greek cities of Tiryns and Mycenae, the cradle of the Mycenaean civilization, coeval with the Nuragic one. Nuragic architecture had something sensational, and something extraordinary was also its spread in the island of silver veins. But what is the ancient link between Lydia and Sardinia? Let us just think about the name of the Lydian capital, Sardis, and how, in the first volume of “The Histories”, Herodotus already wrote about the famine which struck that region and its grievous consequences during the reign of Atys… In this volume Fish, a Nuragic boy of humble origins, makes his first appearance. Because of a tragic event he witnesses, he is suddenly catapulted into a venture seemingly bigger than him: the search of a mysterious treasure brought to Sardinia by some Lydian settlers. But unexpected qualities will be shown by the boy faced with the inevitable adversities and he will discover that his search is heading towards another treasure that all of us have close at hand, but that often we lose sight of… ourselves!

The Archaeology of Nuragic Sardinia is a comprehensive synthesis of evidence bearing on current understandings of Sardinian prehistory from the 23rd through the 8th centuries BC. It is a study of the material traces left by those insular societies known famously for their unique megalithic 'Giants' tombs and intricate water-temples, as well as for the remarkable cyclopean edifices or nuraghi for which this singular 'civilization' takes its name. Following introductory discussions of the history of Nuragic research up to the present, as well as the island's natural setting, individual chapters are given over to detailed examinations of findings on chronology, settlement, subsistence, industries, trade, external relations and cult practices for successive chronological periods from the Early Bronze Age through the Early Iron Age. For each period, issues of interpretation are addressed with regard to what might be reasonably inferred about Nuragic social institutions, normative codes, cognitive orientations, identity formations, cultural hybridity and entanglements, and the role of indigenous and exogenous factors in cultural continuity and discontinuity. While the focus throughout is on the Sardinian record, due consideration is also paid to potentially related developments on the neighboring island of Corsica. A postscript features a glimpse of life at the great Iron Age sanctuary of Santa Vittoria di Serri as imagined by the late 'father of Sardinian archaeology' Giovanni Lilliu.

At least once in life, influenced by a book we have just read or a movie we have just seen, each of us has dreamt of being projected in a fabulous world by simply crossing a “mysterious” threshold, as for instance the surface of an old mirror, maybe covered with opaque signs of time. Well, those who visit Sardinia at a slow pace, taking long walks, will find themselves, without passing through any mirror, as by magic, surrounded by an enchanted world where the harsh and wild nature makes us feel ancestral emotions. And that is what happens to Fish, the Nuragic boy with long braids, in this new adventure in search of a mysterious treasure and maybe of his identity, with the aid of his bearded friend Flam and of his grandfather Siso under false pretenses. Talking about traditions, have you ever wondered what is the origin of the age-old and sometimes dark characters, such as the Mamuthones, the Thurpos, S’Urthu and many more, who still liven up the Sardinian carnivals?! They come from the cult of Dionysus, the god Bacchus for the ancient Romans, widespread in Sardinia and in the Mediterranean in ancient times, which initially entered the island when Nuragic people came into contact with Minoans first and Mycenaean later. As for the “maze” mentioned in the title… I invite you to spend a pleasant time reading this book!
