Stunning and fascinating images. you have to wonder what went on in those caves - tomb/temple/divination site? slightly depressing that they have to seal the sites after excavation but i suppose its the only way to keep them unmolested. They really should rig up a website virtual 3D tour to show what they found. I did chuckle to see the name "domus de janas" applied to the caves - same old 'faces' crop up everywhere. A quick google brought up another quite staggering 'work of art' from the same site - Bonorva, Necropoli di Sa Pala Larga http://www.sardegnadigitallibrary.it/index.php?xsl=626&id=29469 and an interesting one for the cup and ring folk?............ http://www.sardegnadigitallibrary.it/index.php?xsl=626&id=29103 thanks for highlighting this guys.
