ʻO nā Giants o Montʻe Prama he mau kiʻi kiʻekiʻe ʻelua a ʻelua a me ka hapalua mika i kūkulu ʻia e ka moʻomeheu Nuragic, i noho ma ka mokupuni ʻo Sardinia ma waena o nā kenekulia ʻumikumamāwalu a me ka lua BC.
Ua māhele ʻia ka poʻe noiʻi no ka mea i hoʻokumu ʻia kēia mau Nuragians ma ka mokupuni a inā pili lākou i ka Kanaka Maoli, nāna i hoʻopau i ke kahakai Mediterranean i ka makahiki ʻumikumamāhā a me ʻumikumamākolu BC. Ma ka manaʻo hope, ua pae lākou i Sardinia ma hope o ko lākou pio ʻana i ko lākou hoʻouka kaua lanakila ʻana iā ʻAigupita i nā kenekulia 13 a me 12 BC.
Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Giants, a i ʻole Colossi, ka huaʻōlelo i hāʻawi ʻia i nā kiʻi kiʻi e ka mea kālaihonua ʻo Giovanni Lilliu, i ka makahiki 1974 ma kahi kokoke i ke kauhale ʻo Cabras ma ke kahakai komohana o ka mokupuni.
He poʻe koa lawe pale, nā pana pua, a me nā mea hakakā. Ma waho aʻe o kona nui nui, ʻo kekahi o kāna mau hiʻohiʻona ʻokoʻa ʻo nā maka, i hana ʻia e nā disc concentric ʻelua. ʻAʻole maopopo inā he poʻe koa a he akua paha lākou.
Ma muli o ka loaʻa ʻana ma kahi kokoke i kahi lua kupapaʻu i ka lā like, manaʻo ʻia ua hoʻonoho ʻia lākou ma ke ʻano he kiaʻi a puni. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole maopopo loa kēia.
Aia paha lākou i kahi luakini kokoke i ʻike ʻole ʻia. Ma hope o 40 mau makahiki o ka noiʻi a me ka hoʻoponopono ʻana, ua wehe ʻia nā Giants i ka lehulehu ma Malaki 2015 ma ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike Archaeological National o Cagliari.
Me ka aneane 5,000 mau mea i ʻike ʻia, hiki ke kūkulu ʻia he 33 Giants i nā mea āpau. I Kepakemapa 2016, ʻelua mau ʻāpana i ʻike ʻia, ua piha a ʻaʻole i pohō.
Wahi a ka radar scans, hiki ke kanu hohonu ʻia ke kolu o ka ʻāpana. ʻO nā mea hou ʻelua ʻike ʻia nā Pilikua ʻokoʻa i kēlā, ʻaʻole like me nā mea i ʻike mua ʻia, paʻa lākou i kā lākou mau pale i pili i ka ʻaoʻao ma mua o ke poʻo.
ʻO kahi kūlana i hoʻohālikelike loa ʻia me kahi keleawe Nuragic liʻiliʻi mai ka manawa like i ʻike ʻia ma Viterbo (ʻĀkau o Roma), ʻo ia ka makahiki i maopopo: 9th century BC.
Inā hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka loulou, e nānā ana mākou i ka hiʻohiʻona kahiko loa o ka colossi (nā kiʻi kiʻi nunui) i loaʻa ma ka Mediterranean, e pili ana i nā kenekulia he nui ma mua o ka Greek colossi. A ʻoi aku ka nui ma muli o ka manaʻo o ka poʻe ʻepekema ua ʻaʻahu nā Giants i nā masks e like me nā mea i hoʻohana ʻia i kēia manawa ma nā ʻahaʻaina kuʻuna Sardinian.
ʻOiai ʻaʻole like lākou, e hōʻike ana kēia i ka noho ʻana o kekahi mau hana kupuna a me nā loina ma ka mokupuni no kahi kokoke i 3,000 makahiki. He aha kou manaʻo no ka Mont'e Prama Giants?
