Historical Notes on Sardinia
The Phoenicians have left ample historical evidence of their existence,
not only in the region where you lived (between the chain of Lebanon and the mountains of Gallilea)
but also in Sardinia where they founded numerous cities: Nora, Bithia, Sulky, Tharros and others.
Regarding other Mediterranean cities can cite at least Carthage, Marseille and Malaga.
The peak of their civilization can be placed around 1200-800 BC
in the following cities: Bibios, Berito, Sidon and Tyre.
The Iron Age (900 BC - 535 BC) has left several findings: boats and small Bronzes,
pottery with geometric shapes, Nuraghic statues, importation of products Phoenicians and of the populations
allocated around the Tyrrhenian Sea.
With the approaching end Iron Age starts the decline of the Nuraghic Civilization,
the continuing wars will establishes its end.
