  • 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.

    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

      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.

    • @lostwax1921
      @lostwax1921 6 лет назад

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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

      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)

    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.

    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.

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.

      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.

    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.

    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 .

    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.

    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.

    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.
