Hidden For Millennia Beneath Italy’s Sardinia, The ‘Fairy Houses’ That Time Forgot – See Them | World News
New Delhi: The summer light of Sardinia (an Italian island in the Mediterranean) is poured into a rough plateau and turns the rock a pale gold. The wind carries the dry smell of wild plants passing through the grass between the scattered remains. For nearly two centuries, archaeologists scanned this old necropolis, a place where the story of the island lasted from prehistoric to the Middle Ages. However, the world still had to be kept another secret.
In an area between the two graves that have been exposed for a long time, the floor holds a thin and almost invisible sign like a shadow like a shadow and a shadow. The excavation team paused and then started digging. What emerged was more foreign and more beautiful than he dreamed. They found three Domus de Janas, the so -called “fairy houses ın of the oldest legends of Sardinia.
LEGEND AND STONE PLACE MEETING
Local folklore says Janas is small and difficult fairies. They lived in rock -torn rooms, covering gold on sensitive stalls, protecting sleeping children, and giving unimaginable gifts for those who are considered valuable. Some of them saw these beings in the game, the Goblins and Elves fought in openings in the moonlight.
But the truth of history lies under the romance of the legend. These “Fairy Houses” are the graves of prehistoric rock carved into the prehistoric rock carved about 5,000 to 7,000 years ago.
The United Nations Education, Science and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) calls them the reflections of Sardinia’s oldest funerals and spiritual beliefs, narrow corridors and rooms adorned with sacred symbols and motifs.
Three graves, three stories
The team numbered new discoveries XVIII, XIX and XX. The grave starts with a narrow and corridor -like entrance. It opens to a rectangular room by marking the ground with the January symbol (two co -centered circles carved into the stone). Two more branches from here. At the entrance, archaeologists revealed obsidian pieces, such as the latest craftsmen and ancient piles.
The grave, the smallest of the three, holds a central rectangular room and a round side room brought to the forefront by an external pavilion. Despite the centuries, their shapes still found a delicate miniature vase and ceramic pieces.
The grave xx is the largest and most complex. Seven rooms lie in it, one still has traces of pale paint. Throughout the rooms, more than 30 Roman periods, such as jugs, lamps and plates, were lying. Even in the following centuries, they remind you that these tombs have drawn human existence.
An old invitation
The photographs of the findings shared by Sardinia cultural officials, the magic of the discovery captures the magic of the discovery-the gates of the size of the child, the Kızıldan stone, the intimate areas that once held the dead, and perhaps the dreams of life.
“Fairy Houses” is now open to visitors at the Saint Andrea Priu Necropolis where the excavation continues.
Under the Mediterranean sun, the past waits patience, carved into the stone of the island, whispering both the legend and the truth.
