I cleaned up some grammar in the first section without removing any content. I also removed the section headers which had no content within them. This arcticle could probably use some more information in general to flesh it out. As it is it sort of jumps around in the history of Sardinia highlighting a few highpoints without giving an overview of the island's history. There is already a section on this topic under the main Sardinia article. Perhaps they should be merged? -- KrisWood 23:39:07, 2005-09-07 (UTC)

[edit] The history of Sardinia rewritten

I have summarised the history of Sardinia (taken from my own knowledge of the history). Feel free to add/insert any other interesting facts on the history of Sardinia. Timbert84.84.220.60 16:14, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Facts on the prehistory of Sardinia

There are some statements about the prehistory of Sardinia that have not been proven but are suppositions. Sometimes these suppositions are the consequence of writers, historians and archaeologists that would like to see the culture of Sardinia very much connected to Greek prehistory, the Shardana that were part of the Sea Peoples that invaded Egypt around 1200 and other. These are popularised theories not entirely based on facts. We know that Greek and Roman writers idealised the past in function of their own civilization. We know that nineteenth century classicists described everything in terms of race and inferior and superior civilization. We also know that the history of peoples have been idealised in virtue of their present. Even if the Sardinian culture is not connected to the Shardana, to the Euboians, but very much through contacts with Iberians, Etruscans, Cypriots,Phoenicians, Myceneans and North Africans, still the nuragic age testifies that there has been a strong cultural development which could have been as much external as internal in origin. That is as much as we know about the Sardinians of the first Millennium B.C. without having to refer to the written sources that often have been coloured by their authors. I would plee for more cautiousness when asserting facts about the prehistory of Sardinia.10.0.0.8 16:23, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Romans

This article says only a few words about the Roman period. Should be detailed. Alexander 007 15:24, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
