Stone sculptures of the Nuragic civilization found in Sardinia

The Giants of Mont'e Prama are ancient stone sculptures created by the Nuragic civilization of Sardinia, Italy. Discovered in March 1974 on farmland near Mont'e Prama, in the comune of Cabras, province of Oristano, these statues are carved in local sandstone and vary in height between 2 and 2.6 meters.

After four excavation campaigns carried out between 1975 and 1979, the roughly five thousand pieces recovered - including fifteen heads and twenty two torsos - were stored in the repositories of the National Archaeological Museum of Cagliari, while a few of the most important pieces were exhibited in the museum itself.

According to the most recent estimates, the fragments came from a total of forty-four statues. Once the restoration is completed, it is planned to return the majority of the finds to Cabras to be displayed in a museum.
