Stunning landscape with the ancient Santu Antine Nuraghe and some sheep grazing in the foreground. Santu Antine Nuraghe is one of the largest Nuraghi in Sardinia, Italy.

Stacked volcanic rock forms an exterior cliff dwelling wall, in which this single entrance opening was created. The wall contains small portals on either side of the entry where rocks were omitted so that arrows could be fired through them, permitting concealment from attempts by enemies to breach the dwelling. Visibility into the high desert in front of the entry is good for hundreds of yards. On the opposite side of the site a sheer cliff drops to a long steep hill that descends to a dry riverbed - allowing no access from that side. The Sinagua Indian tribe that selected this site did so for its defensible position atop a high desert promentory. Site selection was critical for the Sinagua, and perfectly executed here. This culture combined hunting and gathering with agriculture, but the latter was challenging in this arrid wilderness terrain. The exact site location, which requires considerable effort to reach, is intentionally omitted. Its estimated age dates to 1300 AD - 1400 AD.
