Legends persist in Sardinia that a race of giants ruled the country and built the 'Giant's Graves' and the 'Nuraghe' megalithic towers. Some 8ft skeletons were unearthed in 1953, but it is the Stone Giants of Mont'e Prama that were created by the Nuragic civilization that may represent these ancient titans. Fragmented into numerous pieces, they were found by accident in March 1974, in farmland near Mont'e Prama, in central-western Sardinia. The statues are carved in local sandstone and their height varies between 6ft and over 8ft tall. After 30 years in storage, they are now on display in the National Archaeological Museum of Cagliari.
