Most were stone towers while others formed extensive complexes, with multiple towers, walls, and courtyards. But these buildings predate stone castles from the Middle Ages by more than two thousand years. This was the era of the Minoans and the Mycenaeans, and Ramses II, and before the Roman Republic. These structures are called Nuraghe and they were built on the beautiful island of Sardinia by the culture named after them; the Nuragic Civilisation. So who built these structures and why? When did they emerge, how did they develop over time and what happened to them? This is the incredible story of the Mysterious Nuraghe of Bronze Age Sardinia. *If you enjoy my videos please consider supporting the channel* Become a YouTube Channel Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUVwT8zcS5Z_rYXnpomlbfg/join Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/dandavisauthor All my books on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3xngwz5 Thank you to David MacLeod for the footage: https://www.instagram.com/graenwulf/ *Sources* The Nuragic Civilisation: https://amzn.to/3jf4Tra Oxford Handbook of the European Bronze Age: https://amzn.to/3V3RHmh The Oxford Handbook of the Bronze Age Aegean: https://amzn.to/3jhuYpS The above includes affiliate links so we may make a small commission from your purchases at no additional cost to you which is a way to support the channel. *Video Chapters* 00:00 Intro 01:50 Sponsor 03:16 The Nuragic Civilization 04:26 Proto-Nuraghe 06:02 Tholos-Nuraghe 12:46 Complex Nuraghe 14:27 Su Nuraxi di Barumini 15:46 Late Bronze Age Collapse 17:53 Decline of the Nuraghe
