In this documentary, we examine the fascinating remnants of an ancient Bronze Age civilization that once thrived on the island of Sardinia. Over 8,000 megalithic structures, known as nuraghi, dot the landscape, revealing the exceptional engineering prowess of the Nuragic Civilization. These mysterious stone towers, whose purpose remains largely unknown, stand as testaments to a people with profound beliefs and influence across the Mediterranean. As archaeologists uncover new findings, this documentary takes viewers on a journey to uncover the secrets of the nuraghi, shedding light on the culture, history and enduring legacy of a civilization that has long been forgotten but continues to captivate the world today.
