Explore ancient Sardinia in September 2021 with Megalithomania (postponed from June 2020): http://www.megalithomania.co.uk/sardi.... Hugh Newman explores the enigmatic neolithic pyramid of Monte d'Accoddi in northern Sardinia. It may be the oldest pyramid or Ziggurat in Europe and is connected to the giants who once lived in this area. In 1953 two over 8ft skeletons were unearthed nearby. The structure has a base of 89ft by 89ft (27m) and probably reached a height of 18ft (5.5m). It culminated in a platform connected to a long ramp. It also has dolmens with acoustic effects and a mysterious egg-stone that may have been the omphalos of the site from as early as 4,200 BC. The nearby necropolis has at least eight hypogea including the Tomba del Capo (The Chief’s Tomb), with nine cells placed in a rectilinear direction around a main central one. Includes exclusive aerial footage of the site. Copyright Megalithomania 2018. All Rights Reserved.
