Giants' Grave
Giants' grave (; or ) is the name given by Sardinians, local people and archaeologists to a type of Sardinian megalithic gallery grave built during the Bronze Age by the Nuragic civilization. They were collective tombs and can be found throughout Sardinia, with 800 being discovered there. A stone cairn lies over the burial chambers, with some examples having a cup-shaped entrance similar to the court cairn tombs of Ireland. Types There are two general types of giants' tomb. In the so-called "slab type", uncut slabs are buried on end in the ground, and are arranged side-by-side. There is usually a central stele, which is the largest slab (up to 4 m in height) and has a doorway cut through it. In the more primitive slab-type giants tombs, the central slab is unmodified aside from the entrance that is cut through it at the base, or else there is a crude dolmen-like arrangement of 3 uncut rocks to form the entrance (Osono, Sortali, Lolghi, Pescaredda).

The original character of the Sardinian language among the Romance idioms has long been known among linguists."Da G. I. Ascoli in poi, tutti i linguisti sono concordi nell'assegnare al sardo un posto particolare fra gl'idiomi neolatini per i varî caratteri che lo distinguono non-solo dai dialetti italiani, ma anche dalle altre lingue della famiglia romanza, e che appaiono tanto nella fonetica, quanto nella morfologia e nel lessico." ("From G. I. Ascoli onwards, all linguists agree in giving Sardinian a special place among the neo-Latin languages because of the various characteristics that distinguish it not only from the Italian dialects, but also from the other languages of the Romance family, and that appear as much in its phonetics as in its morphology and lexicon.")

Naveta
{{Short description, Megalithic tomb A naveta (also known as funerary naveta or burial naveta) is a form of megalithic chamber tomb unique to the Balearic Islands, Balearic island of Menorca. They were built during the Bronze Age, between the Pre-Talayotic period and the beginning of the Talayotic period. Despite their resemblance to residential navetas, they served a very different function and do not share an entirely synchronous chronology. The largest example is the Naveta d'Es Tudons which is around 4m high, 14m long and 6.4m wide. The first author who wrote about these structures was Juan Ramis in his book ''Celtic antiquities on the island of Menorca'', which was edited in 1818, it being the first book in the Spanish language entirely devoted to prehistory. Structures preceding the funerary navetas In recent years, some researchers have proposed that the ''funerary navetas'' are an evolution of earlier funerary structures located in the southeastern area of the island� ...
