Tamuli Giants graves (Single)
DESCRIPTION
Tamuli (Italy). In central- north Sardinia in the Marghine region, is one of the most impressive Nuragic settlements in the island. It consists of three giants graves, a nuraghe and a village, dating from the Middle and Late Bronze Age (16th-13th century BC). Six cone-shaped baethyles are on the left side of the tomb. The three biggest baethyles represent female figures with breasts, while the others are completely smooth and symbolize the male phallus. These particular ogival- shaped stones have often a religious function: they represent divinities who give life and bring back to life.
