The German-language television series “Treasures of the World – Heritage of Humanity” – which I fully recommend in my opinion – devotes a quarter of an hour to the UNESCO world cultural heritage of the “NURAGHI” in Sardinia and the traditional shepherd’s song there, known as “Canto a Tenore”. The text accompanying the program says “Over seven thousand round towers made of stone pieces weighing tons are scattered all over Sardinia. Often only the stumps of these megalithic buildings, called nuraghi, remain. The first were around 1400 BC. Built. Small stones were placed between the mighty blocks, a construction method that made the stone towers collapse-proof.”
This article (episode 413 of the series) is available in the ARD media library under the following link:
