Review & FAQ:

Examples of Giants' Grave, similar to those in Sardinia, have also been found in Malta, Menorca and the United Kingdom. More than 300 sites have been discovered on the island, many of them closely guarded secrets. There are various types and examples, from different eras, all dating back to the megalithic Nuragic age. Several appear to be laid out like bulls horns and are astronomically oriented toward the constellation of Taurus. They are constructed like dry stone walls from large interlocking carved blocks of stone, weighing tons. In 1953, two 8 foot skeletons were found in Porto Torres, fueling speculation that these structures were giants' graves.
