History of [[Sardinia]]

== Prehistory ==

In 1979 human remains were found that were dated 150,000 BC. Following retrievals are of about 15,000 BC. Sardinia was colonized by the Sea people [[Shardana]], expelled from Egypt by Ramses.

The first men to settle in [[Gallura]] and Northern Sardinia probably came from [[Italy|Italian]] mainland, maybe from [[Etruria]]. The central region might have been populated by people arrived from [[Iberian Peninsula]] through [[Balearic Islands]]. Southern settlements (around the gulf of [[Cagliari]]) were very likely founded by [[Phoenicians]].

Prehistoric arrowheads (third millennium B.C.) and sculptures of the Mediterranean Mother Goddess (now in the Archeological Museum of Cagliari)

were retrieved which demonstrate a well developed industry of stone carving.

In prehistoric Sardinia a commerce in '''[[obsidian]]''', a particular stone used for the production of the first rough tools, developed, and this activity brought Sardinians to have relationships with most of the [[Mediterranean]] peoples, from [[Lebanon]] to [[Phoenicia]]ns.

In the Archeological Museum of [[Sassari]] are some ceramics from the Copper or Aneolithic Age (2600 B.C.).

== Nuragic age ==

Around 1000 B.C. Phoenicians began landing regularly in Sardinia with their ships, with increasing frequency. Setting sail from Lebanon, on their trade routes (to Britain too) they needed safe anchorages for a stop or to escape a weather storm. Main towns in which Phoenicians established: Caralis (Cagliari), Nora, Bithia, Sulcis, Tharros, Bosa, Torres and Olbia.
