- Explore ancient Sardinia in September 2021 with Megalithomania (postponed from June 2020): www.megalithomania.co.uk/sardi.... Megalithomania is delighted to announce this new tour for 2019. We will explore the mighty nuraghe towers, Giant's Tombs, dolmens, hypogeum Carved stone chambers, holy wells, giant statues of Mont'e Prama, cart ruts, archaeological museums, Europe's oldest Pyramid, and much more. Hosted by Hugh Newman, author of Earth Grids and Stone Circles, and special guest from the USA, Jj Ainsworth, a leading authority on ancient symbolism. We will be joined by local experts Arianna Mendo and Enrico Gelain.
Megalithomaniac Hugh Newman explores the Santa Cristina Nuragic complex that includes the famous rock-cut holy well. The Nuragi megalithic tower is one of 7,000 recorded in Sardinia and is surrounded by a stone built village dating to around 1,300 BC. The Holy Well has precision engineered stones and is much more sophisticated than the village, similar in style to ancient Peru and Egypt. The well is oriented so that sunlight shines upon the water on the equinoxes, and moonlight shines upon the water at the maximum declination of the moon, which occurs every 18.6 years. The local Santa Cristina church was built nearby in the 1200s and that's why it got that name! Includes exclusive aerial footage.

ANCIENT SARDINIA & CORSICA TOUR - JUNE 6th - 17th 2020 as seen on 'Ancient Aliens' (History Channel). www.megalithomania.co.uk/sardinia2020.html.
The entrance down into that well is fantastic, downright Lovecraftian.
The Well of Santa Cristina is truly a marvel to behold. The architecture and level of stone masonry is jaw dropping - indeed actually quite spooky.
I am not an archaeologist, but my immediate impression after looking at several of the Nuragic constructions on Sardinia is that The Well of Santa Cristina was built by an entirely different and eminently more sophisticated hand than that of the Nuragic people. Also I would say it’s very unlikely this was a ‘well’.
As with the Pyramids in Egypt, I would say this construction was built much much longer ago than ‘officially’ attributed, and that the Nuragic found it, not built it. The level of sophistication in the architecture and stone masonry is many orders above that of anything else the Nuragics built on the island - it’s like comparing a horse cart to the Space Shuttle.
Just by using some common sense one can make some pretty valid assumptions. First of all the Nuragics were a Bronze Age civilisation. Similar to the Egyptians, they had no way of cutting granite - certainly not to this kind of perfection. That’s why all the other Nuragic constructions are built from piled-up stones. Granted, they are very thoughtfully constructed, but due to their limited means they could not cut this incredibly hard stone with primitive hand tools and with metals that were softer than the stone itself. Today, if you want to cut granite with a sheer flat accurate face you have to do it with diamond-edge cutters, and under power. Chipping away at it even with a good chisel will produce only a rough uneven face at best.
The stones used in the well construction are absolutely precision cut and they’re not regular squares and oblongs either - that would be hard enough to achieve - they are chamfered and curved at the same time. This is simply astounding. Also each layer of stone is chamfered at a slightly more acute angle than the one below in ever increasing degrees of acuteness in order to give the construction a subtle curve-in as it ascends. In other words each stone is subtly unique in shape and size meaning it has to go in one specific place in the construction.
Thinking about this further. To go to this kind of trouble to create such a specific overall shape of the construction means it was surely done for a purpose.
There is basically two elements to this construction. The ‘chimney’ (for the want of a better word), and the ‘stepped funnel’ leading to the base of it. The chimney is circular and also conical - as you can see from the diagram in the video it looks very much like a ‘bottle’. The stone blocks, as they taper towards the top are staggered back on each layer, creating little steps (like a kind of baffle). The same ‘stepped’ construction is evident in the funnel also. And then you have the obvious looking steps that lead down the funnel, not only on the bottom, but also the top (this is clearly done for a reason).
I would be inclined to say this construction was some kind of ‘instrument’. I don’t mean a musical instrument to play tunes, but an instrument of some kind, a device, where sound, or perhaps light, was channelled and manipulated in order to achieve some effect, either for practical reasons or some other.
In my humble opinion, the ‘funnel and bottle’ construction is shaped and baffled for a reason. The ‘well’ in the bottom uses water to fine-tune the device - like if you have ever blown over the top of a beer bottle to cause it to make a hum - this is called the Helmholtz resonance effect. The more liquid in the bottle, the higher the note, and vice versa. And when you’re in a recording studio they use sound baffling to clean up the sound, which is achieved by using a jagged surface - such as steps in the surface of the walls etc.
My feeling is this ‘Cristina Well’ was built by a very sophisticated civilisation that existed many millennia before the Nuragic period, which had the knowledge and means to design, cut and construct such a masterpiece, and which for whatever reason became extinct. Just like the Pyramids (which I would say were probably built by the same civilisation as this ‘well’), these amazing constructions were found by civilisations that came along millennia later and adopted them. Clearly they would have been in awe at the construction, knowing that some superior hand must have constructed them as there was no way they could match it.
Around the Cristina Well is a double-wall in the shape of a key hole with what looks like a seating area around the circumference of the ‘bottle top’. This was obviously built by the Nuragics as its primitive in its construction compared the well itself. They clearly revered it. No doubt attributing it’s construction to some ‘god’ perhaps, this then making it a place or worship - understandable, such is it’s magnificence.
I may well be wrong, but this is my humble deduction of the Cristina Well.
Every 18.5 years the moonlight penetrates with the chimney or the steps. I think the next is in 2025. Also the sun penetrates the chamber on the spring and autumn equinoxes, and creates an upside shadow of yourself. It wasn't until I saw the staircase roof that I thought this might be a fertility or rebirth site. Much like Ireland's Newgrange - where the sun (male) penetrates the Earth (female) during the Winter equinox
thanks for sharing, very interesting. i’m looking into sardinians links to sherden of ancient egypt sea peoples…
In the shape of a keyhole? I wonder if they had keyholes elsewhere. To me it looked a bit like the marks Hungarian school boys make in the shape of a phallus -- in the is case, a phallus contained within a vulva.
You are wrong. Bonus points for being humble about it though.
@@purlplepow3158 pack it in
absolutely amazing... its clear that existed a high technology civilazation that got forgotten in time. From South America, Egypt, Easter island ,the same walls everywhere!!!
True
Clear as mud you are gullible
With respect, the technology on the surface is radically different from the underground masterpiece. I am completely at a loss to explain the magnificent craftsmanship of the 'well'. What a privilege you had to experience this first hand!
First of all, do some research before claiming something like this.
The "monotower" Nuraghe Hugh visits in the first half of the video is dated to 1500-1350 bc, while the Nuragic well temple he visits in the final part dates back to 1100 bc, that's at least two centuries later, the civilization is the same, it's just that the culture changed a bit and more focus was put on the stone work.
It should be also mentioned that while the monotower Nuraghe didn't hold a religious function, but rather an administrative/civic one, the well temple/holy well was, obviously, a temple, so it held a religious function and thus it was built to be "beautiful", while the mono towers Nuraghi were built to be imposing rather than pleasing to the eye.
Finally, this isn't the best looking Nuraghe out there, it is a monotower Nuraghe, this means that it is dwarfed by the hundreds of complex Nuraghi with many towers with long internal corridors and layers of walls, not only that, many Nuraghi have more refined stonework too, see Nuraghe Alvu of Nulvi, Santu Antine, Piscu, Is Paras and many others.
And the Nuraghe we see here is also half of the size it originally was since the upper chamber collapsed.
The well-temple dates back 1100-1000 bc, while the Nuraghe dates back to 1500-1400 bc, there's a three centuries gap between the two monuments, of course they looked different, not to mention that they most likely served different purposes.
I actually explained I hadn't,t been there so the insult is accepted.
Perhaps the builders took particular care building the well because it was a sacred place, while the Nuraghe had a defensive function for the village, it had to be imposing and austere.
@@lostwax1921 "Is dated", rather than "dates". As I see it this is a site with a remnant of much earlier, advanced civilization, probably destroyed by Younger Dryas catastrophy at around 12 thousands years ago - that was found and revered by Nuraghe people who surrounded it with their works.
That well is nothing short of incredible.It seems as if it could not have been more perfect. It's eminently practical and also a work of art.Wow!
The existing Nuraghe that you see in Sardinia are just the skeletons / ruins of the proper nuraghe. Those ancient people left us some clues, such as little models of Nuraghe. These appear to have high towers with battlements, some kind of cement between the stones, rendered on the outside (no bare stones could be seen) also someone suggested they were painted.
Exactly, also the corbel vaulted chambers inside were usually covered with plaster.
Some other perfectly shaped Polygonal monuments from Sardinia:
Nuraghe Santu Miali (Pompu)
Nuraghe Alvu (Nulvi, not the other)
Serri, Santa Vittoria well temple
Serri, Santa Vittoria rectangular temple
Su Tempiesu well temple, Orune
Is Pirois well temple, Nulvi

Thanks!
In Sardinia today 8200 nuraghe (Of which about 7000 a tholos) are recorded But no more than 20,000 nuraghi, then there are still to be found and some are under the foundations of houses such as that of zapada house to barumini 250 mf from on nuraxi and only two there are, l and unique, are white nuraghi, while two others are blue....

The people who made that well were not Bronze Age. Maybe the rest of that site and surrounding structure is but not the well. Has all the hallmarks of the lost civilization. I believe the Nuraghe found it already there and build the womb like structure surrounding the well and venerated it as a sacred site, the waters of life. That well has an almost alien feel to it. It’s way up there with the pyramids, the Osirion and the polygonal Peruvian sites in terms of precision and perfection.
You can see this pattern repeated all across the globe. Bronze Age peoples arrive to find these massive, perfectly build, gravity defying structures already there and they worship them as sacred sites, built by “gods” and attach their own myths and history to them. Although in many cases, such as in the case of the Inca, they freely admit these structure were there when their people arrived. There is no way of knowing how ancient they really are or who really built them. But what we can know is they existed and they were very very far out
I totally agree with brad douglas on this.
I also agree with Bret. Also basalt, not a bronze age material that would be worked like that. Pre-deluge civilization. As they say, it's a " fingerprint of the gods". Hopefully in my lifetime we'll find more than a fingerprint.
Very pertinent observation👏👏👏If you go to Mycenae you find the amazing 'bronze age' citadel, hugely impressive & one of my all time favourite sites -particularly in the early spring,when if lucky you can have the whole place to yourself! - sitting right next to the 'Treasury of Atreus' - really quite reminiscent of the well - the finesse and magnitude of construction of this enigmatic marvel, completely overshadows anything visible of the citadel - the VAST precision cut monolithic blocks laid sideways,belying their enormous size,the vast corbled vault,of a scale as amazing as anything in Egypt! Nearby at Argos is one of many 'Cyclopean' walls - found throughout Greece - which even their records attribute to a lost race of giants! Very best wishes to you & yours👋🌟✌
Living up in Scandinavia, where last ice age wiped out any constructions older than 10’000 years, you only find the rough stone work (basically crude stones stacked upon another). Hence, for me, that indicates that nor bronze nor Iron Age culture were ever able to produce fine precision stone work such as the well. Conclusion is that it must been created by more ancient cultures (dating back before the last inter glacier)
The well seems to have the so above so below theme in the stairs mirrored above.
From above it looks womb shaped. Water giving life. The Hindus have something similar.
google Tanit - checkout the shape of their symbol..and then look at Baal's headress and a cross section of the well shaft.
Nice report you have made. I have also been there last week.
that hard stone is almost impossible to cut so tightly because I worked on a stonemasonry. It remains a miracle!
Thank you !! Great video. I appreciate your taking your time and sharing this amazing site.
Thank you for creating this video of one of the many beautiful and mysterious features of my native land.
The giants must have been very thoughtful to build everything at normal human scale...
They are build like cats, they are fluidic in nature.
Ha ha ha excellent.
Because the average roman height was 5'5, there is a possibility..just a small one that maybe nuragics were giants of their time
Imagine it like your ant farm. So silly you can't fit inside your ant farm? Obviously ants can't build the ant farm. No new giants so remaining built for us (at the time their subjects, slaves and pets) forever to remember they are buried beneath. These are likely headstones you can conduct ceremony in. Giants or not, MagLev tech likely used just as it certainly was for Coral Castle.
hugh , i try to find all your videos , you find and show things i have never seen . i learn so much ! great drone shots that tell us so much about the sites . fantastic and incredible work ! awesom...
Excellent presentation. Thank you :D
Great blog. Love the music too Hugh.
Thank you for the excellent video.❤️
Great video, ty for sharing!
you should bring a head lamp! cool area though, very neat. Reminds me of the stone chambers in Vermont, US but more impressive.
It's the keyhole shape again. It's everywhere
I'd like to know if the water quality has been tested in the Holy Well. Is it still drinkable?
Has anyone tested the harmonics of this space? What is the chosen stone used? (does it contain quartz crystal etc?)
From an aerial perspective, this stunning megalithic design is absolutely incredible and reminds me of a yoni or early representation of the womb.
Umm, the first thing I thought of when I saw the aerial view was a representation of a phallus in a womb.
Very Freudian!!
Earth Keeper yes i thought the same ,a yoni! Then i asked my self but where is the linga? Then when he went under it all made sence the linga is the underground void that goes up to the small opening.. I also wonder if astronomical events could have been projected onto the water at the bottem and viewed from the top via the small hole ...interesting to say the least
I feel as though something peculiar is missing in us today from the ancients (not something utopian or innocent), but something of intuition and know-how.
Hallucination is missing
einstein put it almost excactly like that he said "it seems our ancestors knew something, we have forgotten" our ancestors "played with stones for ages and ages and ages.at some point the need to get something done and eperimenting leads to discoveries stuff you can't come up with with the brain alone.. stone was our speciality we used all sorts of materials at some point and aplied materials like iron(wire)and wood and rubber.. then a cataclism wiped out almost all and we were left with musical instruments.. its not our finding musical instruments.. our ancestors knew all about musical instruments.. they used those principals as tools for working stone.. its not coincidence we like rhytm.. it was a neccesity to get certain principals to work.. we also mastered water and air dynamics.. we utelised the side effects hence old waterflutes peru.. most important thing was safety.. we needed caves or structures with one entrance to defend.. unpenetrable fortreses.. living in this world before the cataclism was like being dropped in jurrassic park.. bears three times the size they are now..
Those mirrored stairways suggest something of inter-dimensions or alternate dimensions, it's simply unreal.
There are some great comments on here and Hugh, I love your work. but I agree with the others who say that the chambers and the village are separate. if Van Gogh painted half a picture and I finished it off would you attribute it to him or me? I can't paint anything except walls and it would be blindingly obvious which parts were pained by the artist and the parts painted by the numpty, me.
so look at the village, a lot of hard work went into the constructions of the walls and rooms. a lot of rocks were brought in and carefully positioned, the chamber is totally different. it is made to modern high precision standards.
I theorise that a lot of these places were shelters protecting from attach from the sky by various types of objects.
anyway, keep up the good work.
i have a little theory if you're interested Simon ruclips.net/video/ZQK5ELn0-IA/видео.html
Wowzer! Thank you.
Pozzo sacro Santa Cristina tempio sacro abu simbel entrambi agli equinozi si illuminano dai raggi solari chi li ha costruiti aveva grandi conoscenze costruttive
Ogni 18 anni la luna entra dal foro in alto e illumina il pozzo cosi in tutti pozzi sacri .. E Pure i nuraghi dalla fessura sopra alla porta principale al sostizio i raggi solari entrano da li e dentro la sala del nuraghe zsi forma un immagine illuminata di solito quella del toro
The well would make a great modern day sci fi done in the late 50's style. Where they tested the water on a human and he became,
"The Megalithic Man."
He would show the world what the pyramids were used for and every one was amazed at the miracles that were performed by the structures that were already here all over the earth. But the real reason behind it is to in a world no longer threaten by cataclysmic catastrophes, take mankind back to the days when the Gods walk among man to restart reset mankind all over again.
Fantastic video!
Awesome, thank you👏👏👏 Have you visited Mycenae with the impressive citadel next to the quite breathtaking 'Treasury of Atreus' - very reminiscent of the well construction, but ,far far larger and certainly finer than the actual citadel! For me it's beehive shaped vaulted ceiling and amazing entryway as impressive as some of the precision cut sites in Egypt. Very best to you&yours;have a great week👋🌟✌
Amazing site.
The dressed blocks at the well don’t go with the rudimentary stone work around the site .the keyhole shape is interesting. The well may be much older .
Why are there steps above your head? I believe this well was used as a wave guide to receive signals like our earlier microwave antenna towers that looked liked horns.
Where can i get actual measurements taken of the interior? How many stairs are there on lower and upper? what are their measurements? So many un answered questions...
Hey, the Nuraghe you visited once had an additional chamber on top of it which is gone now, you forgot to mention that while climbing it
it seems like the builders of the well were different to those who built the structure above/surrounding it. maybe there was an original structure of straight cut stones that was destroyed but the well remained and the later people used rounder stones to build a nuraghe tower
Thank you very good video
Ancients worshipped/prized/honored fertility. Pregnancy/birthing statues and hand held "lucky" carvings of such are found everywhere. This well and it's 2 surrounding walls are a woman's parts: labia majora(outer wall), labia minora(inner structure), the clitorus (where the rain enters) and the vagina (where the stairs are).
Yep. Funny how they never mention this on the History Channel, isn't it?
Are these blocks all the same thickness? Have you any measurements of the block thickness? Any relation to the megalithic foot?
don’t know where i read it,but this well is an observatory especially for the moon phases to measure them akkurate.
That’s why they put such an effort on this site
the moon actually can be seen on the surface of the watertable
I visited this site (/these sites) last month. The well is CLEARLY not from the same period / builders.
The well is from XI century BC. The building technic is the same (tholos). Surface buildings were built for mortals, the well was built for the divine
@@tobiatorre3255 yes- Tanit and Baal - the Tanit symbol fits perfectly , and comprises 3 letters of the Phoenician alphabet that spell God! (or Cod..depending on how you translate!:)

Thanks!
Excellent offering! I have been searching for videos of Naragi design and Constructing. The interior videos are priceless. Thank you for your efforts and information. Naragi sights are not getting the study they diverse. The size of the stones when cut, finished, transported and set in place, must have been a hugh draw on the resources of the farming community of the area. Five Star video.
The SC well appears to be the top Sardinian site for stone engineering I’ve seen on video (will keep searching!). Makes me wonder if the other sites have been scavenged leaving very rough stones behind?
I was on Google Earth a long while back. I was in Iran, Iraq over to India etc...and the sites you are NEVER SHOWN or told about are EVERYWHERE. HUGE stone carvings on the sides of mountains, Persians, Assyrians, those ones people like to call the Annunaki etc...I was rather impressed. One site led to another because I kept clicking on the photo sphere. Places that just seem...OUT in the middle of nowhere, because they are lol.
can you share more?
Cyclopinconstruction ? What type of word is that , that you keep using to describe the structures ?
@hugh Newman , hello , Do you know if site with this type of stone cut exist in france ? just to see this trace of an unknow civilisation , peru and sardinia is too far for me and my little budget . best regard , and continue to search ... maybe one day someone found the explaination ....
Hello.. I am Italian and I study Shardana archaeology (nuragic but their real name is shardan at the head of the peoples of the sea) of sacred wells in Sardinia there are about 50 censuses but there are many still buried.. In France. No there are perhaps some that could be found in Corsica that milenni were attacata with sardinia even the balearic islands were joined to them in fact there are some nuraghe, consider that in Sardinia there are more than 30,000 shardan sites surveyed But others are still buried if you think that where they found the statues of the giants of mont' and prama all around with the georadar they found gigantic structures under the ground and only there would be them to dig for 600 years.... The areas outside Sardinia that have been found some sacred well are in Scotland in Egypt in Sofia (bulgaria) but also nuraghe there are... The Shardanas colonized half the world had ships for those very well-known times that is any area.,They have come all the way to zimbabwean circumnavigating Africa and throughout the North Sea and also in the Americas already in the Bronze Age ... Unfortunately Shardana archaeology bothers for various reasons They found skeletons of giants then made to disappear due to the fact that the Sardinia at 4 military polygons where all the nations born are trained and would bother too much if there would be too much attention on Sardinia, Sardinia is an Italian colony is not of a non-Italian language language nature is a world in its own right. And that doesn't give him the attention he needs because for the colonizer he has to stay inferior to everything - the same thing is for corsica with france
Sardinia is the great point of civilization in the Mediterranean basin, the writing did not invent the Phoenicians but started from Sardinia modifying the oldest writing called Ogham, moreover according to scholars and my opinion the Phoenicians are nothing more than the Shardana who abandoned sardinia after being hit by a gigantic tidal wave more than 500 meters high due to a meteorite that fell off cagliari and destroyed the entire area of the campidano , the Shardana returned to the island Under another name Feaci (Phoenicians) who had settled on the North African coasts propio in front of sardinia and lebanon that already had settlements, and in central Italy that through villanovian and Umbrian contacts became the Etruscans .. sardinia is the famous island of Atlantis the pillars of hercules are not in Gibraltar initially but between Sicily and Tunisia and I after 12 years of research I found a site in Sardinia where it shows that it is Atlantis (the mistake they all make It is to look for the city or island with the Atlantean name but it does not exist in reality, the Atlantean name they called it the Greeks because it means land in the great green, the Egyptians who knew well the Shardana because ramses ll and other pharaohs used 520 Shardana as a personal guard and others at the head of their army ramses ll save against the Hittites in the battle of quadesh thanks to his shardana guard
The Egyptians when they talk about the Shardana origin say " the shardans arrived from the island in the middle of the great green (green is the Western Mediterranean) " in Sardinia the sea has propied the emerald color.
Are there other wells like that of Santa Christina?
Those standing stones look like two giant and weathered stone feet sticking up from a giant stone man under the ground.
the staircase down to a hole at 13:18 may be a prison. or a bunker. why does it have to be a observatory and why does it need to be in the ground. it may also be a fireplace with some cooking aparatus at the top of the hole above.
I was watching a video on Joe Rogan about the Pyramids and somebody in the comments mentioned this is city they are from and how there was a Well that was built with the same kind of technology and i wound up here at this video :D The internet can be an amazing place you just gotta take the good with the bad sometimed haha.
is this hattusa?
Hear here. Good show H Newman. There are simily of these North East Derbyshire England. Ver very Similar.
Any more info on these sites, pics etc.
In scotland's noed and orkney had settled the shardana is already known to have arrived the, there are other settlements with nuraghi along the routes from Sardinia to Scotland in Spain and Portugal
In fact, in Scotland they use a type of launedas similar to sardinian ones, even the kilt is supposed to be of Shardana origin
@@met71metaldetector55 Very interesting. The sea was never a barrier in ancient times.

Some of what Hugh calls megalithic is actually from era after. The megaliths are built with larger stones perfectly fitted. Some structures in the village are from a much more recent time, with small stones. Just like in Peru, 3 types of construction on the same sacred sites.
Peru polygonal walls date to 1000 AD, Nuragic polygonal temples and holy wells date to 1500-1100 bc, they're over 2000 years older
So When is the lunar maximum?
remains of Tartaria?
First Site: Big stones, yes. Megalithic, mmm... not so much. Pretty rudimentary.
Second Site: Very precise and complex.
If giants built them why didn't they build doorways for Giants to get in... the giant hypothesis is kind of weak in my humble opinion .
The exterior wall is 100000% much younger than the passageway and underground tunnel. The difference in quality is obvious. The wall was built in reverence and protection from the younger group
Seems to me that the well might have been there long before and was re purposed , similar to many sites in South America
At the end of the Bronze Age Sardinia was quite rich selling copper throughout the mediterranean. I wonder if a Sardinian merchant sailed up to Egypt and simply hired a team of Egyptian stone masons to build this well. It is so different from the nuraghe style.
If the well has been build in about 1200 - 1100 BC it could also be that some "Serdes" from the Sea Peoples not hired but head hunted the stone masons to build this well.
You should go up on top at night and observe the stars
Clearly concrete with that tight fit. A lot of air bubbles.
Dude the people that built the well did not build the rest of the site...it’s just like everywhere else in the world...the well is made of precision cut, perfectly placed stones and the rest of the site is not! The intricate stone work is from waaay earlier than the other building work
have you see Mario buildreps videos?
8:30 the astronomical alignment only makes sense, the window box over the door is reminiscent of Newgrange
No compass,no torch!! Amazing site though!!!
Look like a ancient Shivlinga temple pls u found in India Combodia pakistan
Whoever made that well had nothing to do with the rest of the site.

They're both Nuragic though the Nuraghe dates to 1500 bc while the well temple dates to 1100 bc, it's the same population
shoko I agree but change that fucking name please
You cannot date stone and if you believe the well was made at the same time and by the same people, you're an idiot.
Get your head outta your ass and find some critical thinking skills.
Dr Why, Good Answer even though i don't know much about anything. But one thing is for sure > That Thing about people's Asses where they cannot find any Critical thinking skills there ... hahhahahah
Maybe that's Exactly why the well had to be made. Just another Asshole for people to look into and get stuck there.

Santa cristina is not the only Nuragic structure that surprises for its architectural features://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fonte_sacra_Su_Tempiesu#/media/File:Fonte_sacra_%22Su_Tempiesu%22_-_Orune_10_gennaio_2015.jpg
In sardegna censiti di pozzi sacri ce ne sono 40 ma ce ne sono molti di piu ancora sepolti
Il pozzo sacro di Santa Cristina credo che sia attribuito alla civiltà nuragica perché pozzi sacri simili ce ne sono tanti altri, tutti vicini ai villaggi nuragici . Il fatto è che questo pozzo dà piu all'occhio perché è il piu famoso , bello , meglio conservato e devo dire anche con le pietre meglio sagomate , ma ce ne sono anche altri in Sardegna con una lavorazione simile. Il nuraghe che abbiamo visto qui è di poca importanza , in Sardegna ci sono 8.000 nuraghi censiti, alcuni sono delle vere regie simili ai castelli medievali , per la loro disposizione e maestosità e con le pietre piu lavorate rispetto questo nel video. Il pozzo di Santa Cristina
visto dall' alto può sembrare la serratura di una porta , ma in realtà è più evidente il simbolismo del ventre materno , dove entra la luce , che rappresenta la vita, attraverso le scale che scendono giù nel ventre materno dove c'è l'acqua che è vita e poi si sale su con le scale al di sopra che portano su in cielo e rappresentano la morte .
Nello stesso tempo rappresenta anche un oservatorio astronomico , durante gli equinozi il sole illumina perfettamente il fondo del pozzo , invece ogni 18 anni e 6 mesi la luna quando raggiunge la sua altezza massima, la luce che trasmette raggiunge lo specchio d'acqua attraverso il foro su in alto di 30 cm riflettendosi perpendicolarmente . È tutto un mistero la Sardegna , è piena di siti archeologici misteroosi e affascinanti .
Saludus dae sa Sardinya. ❤️ 👋
That well wasn't constructed during the bronze age, the bronze age era people found it and built on top of it. That well is more ancient just like the pyramids and all the high tech megalithic constructions around the world.
Hello. I have long been interested in the Bronze Age, and, in particular, the invasion of the peoples of the sea. At some point in my study, this period of history seemed to me very similar to Plato's story of Atlantis. And by comparing many of the available facts, I came to the conclusion that the prototype of Plato's Atlantis could have been the civilization of the Sherdans, who lived in Sardinia, as well as the civilization of Torre, who lived to the north in Corsica. In support of my hypothesis, I found something on Google maps that might surprise you. If you are interested - write.
I am interested. Please share.
😮 the keyhole design ,, these are called Kofuns in Japan ,,also Giant
- graves ,, wonder if they were cyclopes 🤔
Je crois connaitre un truc comme ça en France, près de Nîmes et du Pont du Gard avec des galeries en sous sol .... bref le symbole vu du ciel y ressemble carrément ;) j'essierai de poster ça en vidéo ;) Et sinon, je cherche quelqu'un pour aller plus loin sur le sujet des forts en étoile ;) ça intéresse quelqu'un ? ....
BabInTheWorld, et peut-etre vous pouver vous rappeler le nom de ce site mentionne?
The stuff down at the well is way older than Bronze Age.
remind me of Broch's
it's simply asburd that UNESCO didn't include such masterpiece into its sites.
PS:
0:57 totally wrong position, the holy well is further north
There are other holy wells like that abandoned..
This is absurd.
@@supercorrincia I know, but this is one of the most beautiful from an architectural point of you, it's inconceivable how UNESCO advertises even insignificant monuments around the world while almost nobody knows anything about Nuragic Civilization, which is the greatest Megalithic culture of Europe.
I keep waiting for Stephan Merchant to show up
the large cicle,,[[ keyhole shape ]] is a ,,''lingan '' same as south-east asia.,,,India,,,Peru,,,new Zealand,, Pakistan,????
👍🏼
in Java, we have many many stone temples
perhaps the giant towers was water collectors.
Why is everything a tomb?
it's a holy well, not a tomb
12 steps on the ceiling
It’s fantastic, years ahead of it’s time. But it’s the beginning of the tradition that would next emerge in a major way with Theodoric’s tomb and to a lesser extent his Basilica in Ravenna and then the Norman Gothic revival and it’s successors.
I don’t know how to explain it, but I just see a sort of brick laying tradition and technology that doesn’t really exist here when it was made. It’s super impressive for sure. I bet you something else stood atop the well once. People knock other people’s stuff over and build atop ALL the time.
But I do think the well is representative of the great pan Eurasian brick laying tradition.
3:32 I agree with everyone saying the well is a totally different technology and tradition than these megalithic tombs are. Very interesting site indeed!
4:55 na brother, same purpose doesn’t mean same tradition, but I do agree the megalithic constructions are very impressive as well, it’s just not the same stone working skill set, however.
5:10 well there are two kinds of giants; black beards and red beards. Both were pan-Atlantic. It’s the great historical coverup. The red beards won out over the course of millennia, but neither side was ever really “exterminated,” instead gradually both groups got absorbed into the human populations.
5:38 this is a bit trickier. These have some well done cuts on them.
It seems like it once looked much different.
6:06 yeah I can’t see exactly what it could be with my naked eye, but look at the shape of the doorway, same as the arched walls in the staircase of the “well.”

It s like the entrance to a space ahip bigger undee the earth..maybe searching diwn deeper...0
Tks! U need a lantern
He uses the word megalithic a lot in this video, the problem is that these are not megalithic structures. I think you need to know what you are actually looking at if you are trying to inform people. It`s not megalithic just because it`s made of stone.
Also why is he so surprised by the workmanship? They had the same intelligence as we do, they just didn`t have the same level of technology, When you have been using stone for thousands of years you learn a few things, so cutting square blocks would have been no problem for them.
But there is a problem in the difference between the well and the other buildings though, I think he has it all wrong, I think the sacred building is the well, the others are just buildings, maybe nothing but watch towers, they are not made with any care like a sacred building would be and they look like they would have a relatively quick build time, remember that when these were built invasion by sea was happening all over the Mediterranean, and having around eight thousand of them is more military than sacred. You can`t treat a building as special if there is one every 500 yards, that's not how sacred buildings work, but it is how military buildings work.
No, MrNadefodder is right. These aren't megaliths. The sacred well in the video was built with dry ashlar masonry, and you are roughly defining cyclopean masonry. Megalithic masonry on the contrary is made with huge orthostats, not just large horizontal stones. There is quite a difference.
Megathlic building was squared dressed stone that was well fitted. These buildings are an unworked stone that is stacked. The Bronze age is megalithic as it is smoothed dressed stone.
@Sguaraus Brazorf There are three types of recognitions, minilithic, mediumlithic and Megalithic.
I think this is classified as mediumlithic structures.
after all Mega stands for something huge, either in structure or in size.
@@noaglverbodentoegang la storia sarda è un continuum, un evoluzione dai menhir dolmen comuni in buona parte dell Europa occidentale, ,, alle domus de janas, molto più antiche dei nuraghi, i nuraghi, sono un evoluzione si tratta delle stesse genti, sono opere ciclopiche, di dimensioni impressionanti per l epoca le più grandi del Mediterraneo occidentale, e vanno da strutture meno accurate ,a strutture sacre o pozzi, fonti di accuratezza impressionante sempre relativamente ,all epoca, i giganti sono una leggenda nata, dalle dimensioni delle tombe, che però erano grandi perché collettive, ospitavano più gadaveri, non perché fossero giganti.
"It's not a tomb-er" - Arnie
It’s used for scrying under a moonlight night, just leave a gift for the gods… Ancient Sardinia was an advanced civilization built by the GIANTS of the Old Testament….
A colony from Atlantis!
More than that colony is Atlantean there is evidence from certain scholars and after a research of 12 years I found a site in Sardinia that shows that it is, but in Italy what comes before the Etruscans is obscured or not valued so as not to tell the truth and
You'll never find pictures of that type of stonework if you Google megalithic.
of course, because this is NOT a megalithic site.....nor any other structure made with blocks of that size....megalithic applies to simple structures made with a few huge stones like dolmens and menhirs
Well, to be fair some Nuraghi can be loosely considered megalithic structures because of the huge size of the stones used, see Nuraghe ponte, its architrave's stone weighted several tones:
www.suscruxoxu.it//ponte1/A)%20Nuraghe%20Ponte.jpg
like this: sardiniapearl.blogspot.it/2014/05/dolmens-and-menhirs-in-sardinia.html
because for an unknown reason, medias and international academic community totally snubbed Nuragic civilization, although it letf the greatest megalithic architectures in Europe and some of the finest and oldest structures in the world.
It's so sad...thousands useless documenntaries about stonehenge and zero regarding Bronze Era in Sardinia.
Lol the reference
Peoples have tried from time immemorial to line up themselves to higher powers according to their own understandings or preferences, But the only thing that line us up to the Divine is sticking to the one true road map and blue print to Heaven that is the 10 commandments of GOD
Do you believe the well itself represents the same archeological culture as the rest of this site? The way of construction, the "quality" are a way ahead of its surroundings, the technique is very different. So I doubt very much it was constructed in the same period by the same people. Do you know any official archeological reports on this matter?
Yeah it was built in the 11th century bc by the Nuragic culture, of course a place of worship which was covered by the ground is going to look prettier than a dwelling that was cannibalized to build other buildings, it's also worth noting that the tower like Nuraghi were built around the 16th-14th century bc whereas that temple dates to to the 11th century bc, so their masonry techniques also improved. Here's an a document written by an archaeologist about it in Italian, you can use google translate: www.gooristano.com/sites/default/files/download/santa_cristina.pdf
