Introduction to the Nuragic Civilization (Ancient Bronze Age Sardinia)

First, I want to sincerely thank Alexander Borschel for his help and guidance with this project. Without him, the fascinating world of the Nuragic civilization would not have been brought to my attention and this video would not have been created. Check out his channel where he discusses martial arts, technology and a whole host of other interesting topics.

Also check out the channel(s) Sardinian Warrior for more info on Nuragic civilization and all things Bronze Age Sardinia.

As a sardinian myself I'm really proud of people talking about the ancestry of us 😃
Keep up the great work!

These people are very interesting to me since they possibly partook in the Sea People's raids. Anyways, love your videos.

Had no idea that Sardinia had such a fascinating past. Certainly should be analyzed more!

[tommasocalderan]

it makes me so happy when people make videos about sardinia it's so under appreciated

In the Bible Lands Museum in Jerusalem, there is an adorable little ancient Sardinian bronze sculpture of a tiny boat in which are miniature figures of a mouse, a monkey, a cat and a fox (I think I’m remembering correctly). The Bronze Age Sardinians evidently had a sense of fun as well as being sensationally skilled metalworkers.

As a sardinian thanks for your work in order to spread the word about my land and its magical and fascinating history around the globe. 💙

Chaotic collapse in the east due to sea raiders with horned helmets similar to the ones on Sardinian figurines, all while life carries on 'as normal' in Sardinia and even starts to somehow improve and become more prosperous.

Mmm...sounds pretty suspicious to me...

Edit: And as soon as I saw the pictures of their towers in this vid, they reminded me of grain silos straight away, so I'm not surprised that others think that they actually were fortified silos of sorts.

Thanks for spreading Sardinian ancient history! 👏👏

I love obscure stuff like this, the less covered civs. More please, Cy!

As Sardinian I'm very proud of my origins, especially for nuragic civilization. Great video, it's an accurate introduction for all the people who want to discover this amazing prehistoric civilization

The part where you say “reportedly without resistance from the local population” isn’t completely true, after the Carthaginians surrendered Sardinia to the Romans, the Nuragic tribes in the interior of the Island (Ilienses, Balares and Corsicans) rebelled for at least other 100 years (some important rebellions were in 225, 177, 126 and 111) with them being known as Civitates Barbariae (Barbaric civilizations) from which descends the name Barbaja (the central region of the Island).

This video it's just amazing. A great introduction to the Nuragic Civilization. Thanks, Cy.

Interesting.
Otzi "the ice man" who lived around 3300 BCE and who's body was found in a melting glacier in the Alps has DNA that connects him to these peoples.

At first glance the nuraghi remindet me of castles from the Middle ages, multi purpose buildings .
Thank you for this interessting video, would like to hear more about this culture.

[Angayasse]

That was incredibly interesting! I have to know more about them... thank you!:)

[Woodsy]

I visited a bunch of Nuraghe when I lived in Sardinia, they’re extremely fascinating.

[Foogi]

My first time hearing about This civilization, fascinating.

[LukeVilent]

How the heck I knew about, say, the Mississippi Civilization for decades but hear about the Nuraghi for the first time? Thank you so much for this really enlightening video!
