"The Giants of Ancient Sardinia."

An archaeological and anthropological update on the spectacular recent
finds of a small army of over-life size statues of boxers and
warriors. These Giants date from the 11th century BC, the time of the
civilization of the Sardinian nuraghi of the Late Bronze Age and are
related to the bronze statuettes beloved of museums and collectors.
