High Technology in Ancient Sardinia | Santa Cristina Holy Well & Nuragic Village | Megalithomania

Explore ancient Sardinia in September 2021 with Megalithomania (postponed from June 2020): Megalithomania is delighted to announce this new tour for 2019. We will explore the mighty nuraghe towers, Giant’s Tombs, dolmens, hypogeum Carved stone chambers, holy wells, giant statues of Mont’e Prama, cart ruts, archaeological museums, Europe’s oldest Pyramid, and much more. Hosted by Hugh Newman, author of Earth Grids and Stone Circles, and special guest from the USA, Jj Ainsworth, a leading authority on ancient symbolism. We will be joined by local experts Arianna Mendo and Enrico Gelain. Megalithomaniac Hugh Newman explores the Santa Cristina Nuragic complex that includes the famous rock-cut holy well. The Nuragi megalithic tower is one of 7,000 recorded in Sardinia and is surrounded by a stone built village dating to around 1,300 BC. The Holy Well has precision engineered stones and is much more sophisticated than the village, similar in style to ancient Peru and Egypt. The well is oriented so that sunlight shines upon the water on the equinoxes, and moonlight shines upon the water at the maximum declination of the moon, which occurs every 18.6 years. The local Santa Cristina church was built nearby in the 1200s and that’s why it got that name! Includes exclusive aerial footage. Filmed, Produced, and Directed by Hugh Newman.
