Buried for centuries in a vast area of Sinis, only two kilometers from the pond of Cabras and not far from the port area of Tharros, these majestic and powerful sculptures in oriental style were carved from single blocks that could weigh up to 400 kilos, coming from a local quarry. The statues depict archers who, in addition to their bow, have an arm protected by a sheath and a glove, warriors holding a finely decorated circular shield and finally boxers with an armed glove and a protective shield above their head. All the statues have marked noses and eyebrows and large eyes composed of two concentric circles, expressing, perhaps, power and magic. For these characteristics, scholars believe that the construction of the sanctuary is due to a society that had human and material resources such as to be able to express with the Heroon of Mont'e Prama their membership in an elite social class. This archaeological discovery constitutes a novelty not only for Sardinia but for the whole geographical area between Greece and the Atlantic. The work of the archaeologists aims to give us back the knowledge of the society that was able to produce these splendid statues and of its contacts with the peoples of the rest of the Mediterranean.
