Su Nuraxi di Barumini, Sardinia inscribed on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 1997 as Su Nuraxi di Barumini. date c. 1500 BC or thereabouts, with an earlier village beneath.
and a very pretty picture you chose too Geoff.
Spot on Paul, you correctly spotted Su Nuraxi, Barumini, Sardinia, , Stone-built Settlement, Nuragic Culture C15th bce– till later, I think the central tower is C6th bce.
So its over to you . .
Paul - if you contact me I can solve your table problem, [but probably not the picture issue.]
Where on Google Earth 33 is here on my blog.
