The Ancient Discovery of the Giants of Mont'e Prama

The Giants of Mont'e Prama are ancient stone sculptures, relics of a lost civilization. Discovered in 1974 on a farm near Mont'e Prama, a small village in the province of Oristano, these colossal figures were hidden away for 40 years. Around 5,000 pieces were found, including fifteen heads and twenty-two torsos, each carved in local sandstone, with heights ranging between 2 to 2.6 meters. After four excavation campaigns, these fragments were stored in the National Archaeological Museum of Cagliari for 30 years and some of the most important pieces were exhibited in the museum itself.
