Unique finds that scientists still can’t explain
In 1974, near the town of Aristana in Sardinia, large stone sculptures were discovered on the coast.
In general, the sculptures represented warriors and archers, and over 5,000 fragments of statues were found during the excavation period.
According to scientists, behind the creation of stone titans was a mysterious civilization whose towers decorate the coast of Sardinia.
One of the distinctive features of the statues are unusual eyes in the form of concentric disks.
Studying the statues, archaeologists concluded that they date back to the ninth century BC, making them the oldest stone statues in Europe.
They’re several centuries older than the ancient Greek sculptures found earlier.
But what the statues were created for and why they were destroyed are still unanswered questions.
