	IN SARDEGNA VIRTUAL - CULTURE: Hidden Nuraghe
		The beautiful Erismanzanu nuraghe is not visible from the main road although it is 700 metres from it, because it is on a slope which drops south until it reaches the river Fruschiosu.
		In the terrace of the Erismanzanu nuraghe there were, in addition, two storage places one of which was 3m in depth, their functions are still in doubt but could have been related to the inhabitative or defensive character of the structure.
		It is certain however that the Erismanzanu nuraghe with its beautiful tower and unique characteristics which distinguish it from many other monuments (perfectly square blocks forming the wall, internal well in the central room and storage niches in the upper part) is still a monument unknown to many and not fully appreciated.

	Sardinia and his Nuraghe History
		The Nuraghe is the main typical monument of Sardinia, an island in the Mediterranean west of Italy.
		The use or meaning of the nuraghe has not been clearly identified: whether a religious temple, or a dwelling, a military stronghold, the house of the chief of the village, the place for the meeting of the wise men or the governors.
		Undoubtedly nuraghes had a meaningful symbolic content, at least recalling wealth or power, or maybe the establishment of a village (eventually in the dignity of a State-village).

	Stones of Italy - Losa nuraghe
		The nuraghe is a kind of stone defensive tower with a truncated cone shape, built in what is known as Cyclopean style, which consisted in piling up huge blocks without using mortar or other binding material.
		The Losa nuraghe, dating from the middle Bronze Age, is built with enormous basalt boulders and comprises a central tower, 13m (43ft) high and 12.5m (41ft) wide, which originally had three floors.
		Around it there are other later towers, enclosed in an imposing triangular curtain, surrounded and fortified by defensive walls with towers and arrow-slits (up to the 7th century BC).

	Sardinia - Archaeology - The Nuraghic culture - Sardegna.com
		The Nuraghic culture is not classic but “impulsive”, avoiding the perfection and the finished, favouring the lack of harmony and equilibrium, the rough improvisation.
		This sort of “building insularity” is the result of a strong individualist philosophy of the Nuraghic families and clans.
		The Nuraghic patriarchy is organised by tribes, clans and families, all governed by the patriarch.

	Nuraghe Sardegna
		Nuraghe are large truncated conical towers of boulders and hewn rocks that were built all over the island starting in about 1800 BC.
		Although some Nuraghe are fortified with battlements, arrow slits, corridors and additional outer walls, there is little doubt that defense was not the primary reason for their construction.
		Because all Nuraghe are in sight of at least one other one, it is reasonable to presume that their primary function was that of a communication towers that provided the early inhabitants of the island with a Bronze Age information super-highway.

	Nuraghe - Wikipedia
		Il nuraghe (plurale nuraghes, spesso italianizzato in nuraghi) è un tipo di costruzione megalitica ampiamente diffusa nel territorio della Sardegna.
		In un secondo momento, da situarsi presumibilmente nella fase del Nuragico III (Bronzo Recente e Finale, fra il XIV e il IX secolo a.C.), al singolo nuraghe già esistente furono addossate altre torri raccordate da cortine murarie a formare un vero e proprio bastione turrito, fino a realizzare delle strutture di notevole articolazione ed imponenza.
		I più importanti siti nuragici sono il nuraghe Losa ad Abbasanta, il nuraghe Arrubiu ad Orroli, il Santu Antine tra Torralba e Bonorva e, il più importante e famoso, Su Nuraxi di Barumini, la cosiddetta "reggia" nuragica, patrimonio dell'umanità, composta da una torre centrale e quattro torri angolari.

	Those Sophisticated Cave Men-- Sardinia's "Prehistoric" Towers-Page 34
		The nuraghe interior often presents a complex plan of chambers, winding staircases, dead-end corridors, concealed rooms with trap doors, and a variety of niches and compartments.
		Thus, there may be a platform round the nuraghe, generally with two, three or four bastions, each often containing a chamber; or the main nuraghe may have additional chambers added to it.
		As is the case at Nuraghe Lugheras near Paulilatino, or at the Nuraghe de Sorcu near Domusnovas, the entrance may be protected by a regular system of courtyards and subsidiary nuraghi.

	Coop Ghivine Archaeology Sardinia Nuraghe Mannu
		The area, rich in a large quantity of perfectly worked, square, basalt stones is characterized by the "nuraghe" which, despite the name, ("mannu" means large in Sardinian language) is a mono-tower building of modest dimensions, built with big basalt rocks laid in irregular rows.
		This is mostly covered by collapsed walls, by scrub and by thick bushes of "lentisco", its roots deeply buried amongst the buildings’ foundations.
		The surveys and diggings of the village and of the "nuraghe" have discovered findings which date the first building phase of the village in the evolved phase of the Middle Bronze Age (1500 b.c.).

		Nuraghe are mysterious Bronze Age monuments that are astronomically aligned to receive the sunlight on the Solstice exact date & time (a bit similar to Stonehenge in the UK, or even New Grange in Ireland for the Winter Solstice).
		They are conical stone towers, numbering some 7000 in Sardinia, give their name to the Nuragic peoples who built and used them and continue to characterize the island's landscape to this day.

		The TENAX NURAGHE wall systems are based on the integration of concrete blocks specifically designed for the wall facade, with polyethylene geogrids used to reinforce the soil.
		The blocks, generally laid on well-compacted soil, do not require mortar, but are used dry and are joined to each other thanks to their unique joint design.
		The TENAX NURAGHE blocks possess a tooth on the upper base and a notch on the lower (so as to avoid slipping and facilitate installation); a vertical male and female tail joints on the sides, and they are tapered to allow for the convex facing walls.
