Giant statues - said to be the oldest human shaped sculptures ever found in the Mediterranean - may once have been the guardians over an ancient graveyard.
The bizarre Bronze Age statues, thought to be over 3,000 years old, were discovered at a necropolis near Mont'e Prama in Cabras, a small town on the west of the island of Sardinia.
Dated to between the 11th and 8th centuries BC, these giants - or Kolossoi - are the oldest human-shaped sculptures found in the Mediterranean.
