Were the Anunnaki the Architects of the Towers and Tombs of the Giants of Sardinia?

Sardinia is one of the most geologically ancient lands in Europe, inhabited during the Upper Paleolithic, home to a Nuragic civilization that left nothing behind by way of writing. Folklore paint these people as seafarers, perhaps mercenaries — Srdn-w, as recorded in 16th century BC Egyptian texts — who may have originated from Asia-Minor.

Then there is Sardinian language. Many words, dialects, names of mountains and rivers have no basis in Greek, Latin or Punic, nor Semitic or pre-Indo European. They do, however, show analogies with Basque and North Libyan languages and dialects along the Danube. Given that Sardinians’ physiognomy is also the most dolichocephalic, with a high incidence of long heads, and the DNA of its population from 10,000 BC surviving in the present population — a unique genetic heritage — suggests their language may be a remnant of a former, and now lost, civilization.

Towers and Tombs of the Giants

Even more mysterious are the thousands of towers and tombs of the giants, the former named nuraghe, except no published source informs of how these unusual structures, many of which are based on megalithic stonework, came to be associated with tall people. As to their age, historians and archaeologists place them anywhere between 3500-1500 BC and yet no carbon dating has been performed to validate this range. Like nearby Malta, the sites have been arbitrarily allocated a period that best fits the academic consensus, one that relies on pottery shards or animal bones among the dirt inside these structures. Realistically, the people who built such impressive temples would also have kept them clean, free of debris, thus what archaeologists are dating is the period long after the sites fell out of use, a period of decline when they accumulated debris, and began to be used for purposes that may have differed from their original intent. By this logic, if the lowest habitation layer is dated to 3500 BC, the site itself may be decades or hundreds, even thousands of years older.

It seems that to solve the mystery of the places of the giants one must turn to etymology, local tradition, even archaeo-astronomy, the relationship between a temple and its mirrored stellar object in the sky.

Hi All,

Every language, culture, and Peoples has oral history regarding the existence of Giants; in my case as a Believer I believed in what The Bible said about The Giants in Numbers, Joshua, 1st Samuel & 2nd Samuel on The Giants in The Scripture but not once did occur to me that Giants were wide spread throughout The World.

I just thought they were connected to Canaan only; feel free to laugh, I already have myself.

Once I finally read The Bible Book's of Enoch & Jubilees then I understood the World of The Bible better.

I definitely believe that those Giants are the reason behind all the architecture designs has anyone examined the Baalek Temple in Lebanon? It's too bad one can't lift anthropological Fingerprinting on those huge cement blocks.

Why then are people having so much trouble with accepting the Possiblity of Giant's in history?

I think there's so much reluctance is because these guys are the ultimate monsters in the closet or under the bed in this case bedrock and this topic of Giant's; adds more mystery, to the Unknown and we've never been comfortable with uncharted territory that makes absolutely No Sense.

Most people live by logic and reason and a minority of people lives on The Impossible; where Reason and logic, has no place that's my definition on Faith belief of The Impossible.

Alright that's all I have to say on this Topic about the Giant Race Walking Earth so until next time Everyone, Goodbye!
