The Battle of Cornus<\/a>
\n“The Battle of Cornus, or Caralis took place when a Carthaginian army sailed to Sardinia in support of a Sardinian revolt against Roman rule. The army, led by Hasdrubal the Bald, fought a similar size Roman army under Praetor Titus Manlius Torquatus in the Fall of 215 BC somewhere between Cornus and Caralis. The Romans destroyed the Carthaginian army and then scattered their fleet in a sea battle south of Sardinia.” From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.<\/p>\n

Description of Ta Rat’:The Subterranean Temple of the Giane by John Opsopaus (c) 1996<\/a>
\n“This is the first description of the subterranean temple of the Giane of Sardinia, which they respectfully refer to as Ta Rat'(“this holy thing” in Etruscan).[1] It is an especially large (32 X 20 m.) artificial cavarn, rather like the Domus de Janas or Domus de Gianus (Fairy Houses), as the Sardinians call the ancient rock-cut tombs which permeate Sardinia and date from the Copper Age (2000-1100 BCE). However, this underground temple (tmia), is more in the style of an Etruscan tomb (t’aura), such as the well-known Tomba del Cardinale and the (now lost) Tombo dei Ceisinie (both in Tarquinia). Ta Rat’ is buried in the heart of the highest peak in the Gennargentu massif.”<\/p>\n
