Thanks a lot for watching and safe journeys!
I can not thank Gabe enough for the great job he does These videos are keeping me focused on a dream while I battle stage four lymphoma. He has a kind heart works hard puts out professional quality travel videos and shares with all of us. I send gratitude 💜💙🙏🏻🌸🌷😘
Yes.
Keep your dreams alive ❤
❤
Gabriel makes it feel like you're right there I love his videos goes into detail all the little aspects of the countries in the history it's like you're physically there so I can't travel anymore I love watching his videos it's a daily ritual for me keep those videos come and Gabriel's thank you so much for your service
💙💚💛🧡💜🤍❤️🧡💛
I find it hard to believe that there isn't ANY written documentation regarding what these amazing structures are. So beautiful. 😍
Nuragic people did not write on stone, we assume they used biodegradable to write, cause there were some cork tablets inside some nuraghi, but they disintegrated when exposed to air during the digging. There's a single writing in the entire island that is supposed to be from Nuragic writers, it was written with a punic alphabet and it's gibberish so it's likely written with their alphabet but the language is the old Sardinian language and, without having a "rosetta stone" of sort, we can't understand what it says, with the exception of a word "SRDN" Sherden.
No matter where we end up your adventures are the very best. I look forward to each every day or rewatch an older one. Love how you always treat us to dinner also, yum. Stay safe.😊❤
When you go back to Sardinia go to the northern part Santa Teresa di Galura, nice little town where you can take a ferry to Corsica. The beaches up north also all amazing!
Thank you for this epic adventures in Sardinia. Your videos are interesting and through the fact that you travel off beaten path, you explore lesser - known areas and I gain a deeper understanding of the country or area visited. Furthomore, you are able to make the viewers associates in the journey.
Your videos are 1000% amazing and inspirational
The best of history it's a visual experience watching him do this videos he shares the nuances of the cities and the surrounding it's like a history course but old hundred times better thank you for all the videos Gabriel
Damn, that's a good weather. Too bad I am broke atm. 😂
Gabe, the music at the start and finish of this vlog was amazing, love your choice of music. Fits Perfectly for both bits. Italy, Greece, Turkey just filled to the brim of ancient sights. Sicily and Sardinia looked amazing isles to have summer hols on.
Cool, glad to hear it.
Such a great trip - its really worth having a car to explore all these amazing places. Awesome video as always!❤
7:35 Cool beans. Sorta reminds me of the Tomb of Agamemon in Mycenae Greece.
Cool vlog Gabe, liking the Italian Island mucho bueno
Safe travels
Am I the only one obsessing on how they piled rocks, making walls. The arching ceilings are a wonder, they were placed just right.
I can assure you, I as well am perplexed. In my next video I have a whole scene where I am asking the same question.🤣
That brick work is highly advanced, look at it.
Yes it is mind-boggling to me the stones laying together with such a tight fit.😊
I felt like I was in the movie Star Gate when I walked in there. Video drops soon
Love how relatively untouchted by mass tourism the island seems to be. Im sure its different during the summer holidays, but right now it seems to be mostly Italians, probably from the mainland. Its just so chilled out everywhere and that really adds to the mystique of these sites. Experiencing them with busloads full of screaming tourists just wouldnt be the same.
That "key hole" construction is amazing! Pure perfection, perfect simetry of a triangle inverted ending on a circle underground..wow..each stone perfectly cutted and arranged without morter since hundred years!!! There some keyholes on different places, Japan, on middle east....super interesting places from hundred or thousand yesrs...Who knows...there were made by people with high advance technology..
In my estimation, it was a water worshipping civilization and this particular one is the representation of the female reproductive organs. I will be doing a video on it soon.
Built 3200 years ago, (1200 or 1300 BC), Mother Goddess worship. Every 18.5 years the moon is perfectly reflected in the center of the well.

Marvelous trip Gabriel. Good to see you in fine fettle! Gods speed!
Thank you!
Great trip to Sardinia.
Stunning
Hehe,”you win some and you lose some and sometimes it doesn’t even pay to get suited up.” Lol 😂 we love ❤️ your travels Gabriel.
Super
I was wondering if water is scarce on these islands, I see lots of olive trees but farming not so much.
Looks like the whole Mediterranean area is getting a warmer and drier climate now. Not a good trend.
The island has an extended system of basins and canals to save water, but you can't see much farming because there are not much people living in the island. It's the only part of the state of Italy with a low inhabitant density. The island was a big forest in the ancient times but it was torn down 300 years ago by the Italian colonizers. The main usage of free land is sheep herding, and the farms are located in the main plain of the island, Campidano. The rest of the island is granitic and rocky and doesn't offer much space to farm, no matter how much water you can have.
This year specifically, 2024, has been plagued by a scarcity of water, due to little rain in the winter.
A place to make a last stand I guess, times were tough back then.
❤❤every. Video. He says. BOOM ❤❤. Soo cute. I luv this!!!
Sardinia is definitely a hidden gem. So much history there. Thanks Gabriel for showing those archeological sites and showing the remains from the Nuragic civilisation. Would not have known they existed. Always learn something new from your videos.❤
Hi from Arizona. 9 AM
Sardinia my Island where i live 😉 im so lucky to live here in this beautiful paradise Sardegna 😀⭐💪
wowww, already a new ome, thank you for this video. was quite smashed to hear about the history of 6000 years... shall have to do some reading about it. so different to sicilia, which i do not know, either sardinia, but i had the impression of an absolute different island... think it must be the energy of these old cultures. may be they had knowledge which was gone lost during time. well have to read about it. very interesting indeed. thank you for your neverending work ❤. be blessed!
*You finally did it! I was there in Spring but am so far behind on my uploads! I was blown away by the stone work on this particular well. I believe it represents the female reproductive organ.*
Bravo, you are right. It represents the worship of Great Mother Earth.
@@askallois video coming soon!
The history books show the AC and DC periods refer to the Bon Scott era vs the Brian Johnson period! 😂 (sorry .. I had to do it)
Love these little known but interesting places that you find. Where do you usually find them? Google? Other travelers?
Do you mean the island of Sardinia, or the specific places I went to? I've known about Sardinia for years and have wanted to go, it's pretty big on the map and hard to miss. But as for the places I went in this video, it was only the tombs I showed near the end that I was specifically planning to go to, the ones I was disappointed by. I found out about them by searching online. Everywhere else that I showed in the video were places I saw from the car while driving. That's the advantage of having a rental car, you discover a lot just by driving down the road, following the signs and investigating random places.
Hi Gabe!! Excellent. Love your Italian adventures
Cool, glad to hear it.
I've really been enjoying these videos of Sicily and Sardinia. Very interesting archaeological sites to explore in this one! I've always been fascinated with Italy, but have never visited. Thank you for taking us along on your adventures, Gabe! Through your videos and storytelling, I get to experience places I may never be able to visit in person.
Mmmm, that pizza at the end looked really good! 😋🍕
If there's a cave, Gabe will find it.
Expected that you may visit towns in Sicily where Godfather movie was shot,may be next time
So are we gonna hit the beaches tomorrow Gabe? 😊
Yes, the video is done and uploaded, will post it tomorrow. ✌️
Gabe - An epic summer journey this year for sure. You mentioned somewhere you were in London currently. Is this the end of your trip and is return to the US imminent? Thinking out loud and based upon some of your prior returns to the US, might there be a stop in a Caribbean on the way perhaps? If yes, check out the French islands there, Martinique and Guadeloupe, as they are beautiful and not often visited on You Tube. Thanks.
Agreed! Beautiful islands
That would be super interesting
I'm heading east from here, flying tomorrow to a country I haven't been to before.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos oh excellent.. can't wait!
LOL - Here comes 10 or more "guess where Gabe is going" responses. If you are going east and to a new place it sounds like you have a fairly long flight ahead of you. You are not going to Russia so might it be one another former Soviet constituent?@@GabrielTravelerVideos
I enjoyed the video
One of my exchange students came from Sardinia. Very rural and many tunnels.
You've caught my interest bigtime with Sardinia, didn't know a thing about the place before your videos but you've shown it to be an archaeological wonderland, right up my alley! By the way, Google maps shows dozens of "domus de janas" (and also necropoli/necropolis), based on the pics of those others it seems you didn't get the pick of them with your one but plenty more to check out if you go back. They're everywhere (as with all the nuraghe).
Yeah the history is mind boggling. I have a small channel myself, if you would like to check it out. I will be diving deep into Sardinia's history. - I say this with humility. Gabriel is by far my favorite travel vlogger.
Sardinia has 1/4 of the archeological ruins of Italy. There are around 8000 locations with remains of ancient times.
Sardinia is different from Italy, the DNA of the Sardinian people is the least contaminated in the Mediterranean, they have their own identity, their own customs and traditions, we are very proud of our land, and we try to preserve it in the wilderness. It is the land of the ancient Shardana, who put the eastern Mediterranean to the sword, they were one of the Sea Peoples.
Maybe that elongated big rock construction was a burial of a giant
They have giant's graves. I was there a few months ago. I will upload the video soon
I think it was fortified Notice the tight stairs go up from the the , so a swords man could only use his left hand but coming to protect they can use the stronger right hand with a sword you see this in british castles 🗡
Still in London?
Gabriel have you been to Lebanon yet ?? It looks promising and the cuisine is one of the best.
Not yet but really want to go there.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos let it be after London Mister Gabriel you will enjoy it.
10th....let the journey begin
I feel like that wasn't the original stone work in that well.
I wonder as well, definitely didn't look like it was 4,000 years old.
Basalt is a pretty sturdy material.
It's the original, it was buried under dirt and they cleaned it
@GabrielTravelerVideo It is 100% original, when they dug it out it was full of rubble, and a small part of the wall had fallen off, they only put them back in place. The age is ascertained at 1300-1200 BC.
You should apply for a Greek passport mister Gabriel so you can stay unlimited time in Europe and Schengen zone. 😊
I think this island is being called
Sardigna.
It's spelled both ways, but Sardinia is the more official spelling: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardinia
If you decide to go up to the Veneto region, I'd love to take you out for a beer and show some of the smaller towns here.
Thanks, I'm in London now. But I've been to Verona, one of my favorite Italian cities: th-cam.com/video/E3piqA59lxA/w-d-xo.html
So the 90 days accumulates throughout EU combined? Then you can enter the UK as it’s not EU anymore, to reset it?
Yes, basically, except you can't reset it simply by leaving. You have to wait until 180 days have passed from when you first entered.
Gab , is italy one of your favourite country ? I've seen many travellers putting italy's on top when they are asked to reaveal their favourite country .
It's definitely near the top of the list.
Whats your top 3 favourite countries ? You've been to almost every countries and if you had to name which three would you name in your personal experience
The BC and AC division of history has been put in place for those who are not religious.
I have seen it as BCE and ACE standing for Before the Common Era and After the Common Era. (Although, meaning basically the same thing)
I'm familiar with CE (Common Era) and BCE (Before Common Era), but that's the first time I've seen AC and DC. I wonder if it might actually be Italian.
ac avanti cristo, dc dopo cristo ❤
@@mariannemaag7692 There we go, so it's Italian, good to know.
It's the Italian version of Before/After Christ. AC (Avanti Cristo) DC (Dopo Cristo)@@GabrielTravelerVideos
@GabrielTravelerVideo Yes Before Christ (B.C.) and After Christ (D.C.)
😊😊😊❤
The well of Santa Cristina is very mysterious, almost other dimensional. Why build a mirror image set of stairs like that? Nothing in nature walks down an upside down set of stairs....
Yeah when I was there I felt like I was in the movie Star Gate. Video drops soon.
Hope you had sardine pizza in Sardinia
No, I had salami and artichoke pizza. And I had salmon pasta. I didn't see sardine pizza.
@@GabrielTravelerVideosis it better then Domino's?
@@Dr.Mzungu Much better.
600th ❤yeeeeeeeeeee....from Hungary
That whole island is a Blue Zone, the celebrities like to hang out on the north eastern side, Costa Smeralda.
Only the center is a blue zone. Ogliastra specifically.
@antoniousai1989 You're right, but my aunt died at 101, my mother at 98, my other aunt at 96, and so many other non-relatives all touch that age. Not as many as Ogliastra, but some good DNA is spread throughout Sardinia.
@@askallois The average age of the entire island is among the mid to lowest in Italy. The oldest region on average is Liguria.
Overheard while touring a national Monument in New Mexico: “You seen one kiva, you seen ‘em all.”
Thats a very expensive Pizza for Italian standards. You can buy a good Pizza in Napoli or Sicily for 5 €.
I'm sure you're right. But that town wasn't touristy at all so I don't know, that was just the price. There was a charge for the water and also the coperto cover charge, which is typical in Italy. I think the pizza alone was 11 or 12 euros.
Margherita maybe? Artichokes are expensive everywhere in the world.
@@Wave_Drop Exactly, cheaper for something simpler.
@GabrielTravelerVideo Usually a pizza and beer are about 9 or 10 euros, I hope at least it was good.
❤👍👍👍
❤❤❤❤❤
Psst.
You're second. 🥈
Don't tell anyone. 🤫
Hi Gabriel, that was an incredible opening the initial site looks like keyhole opening like Vatican City, Ancient Aliens did an episode about it I forgot it was in Sardina you just reminded me. This trip was just fascinating at some point you must return to giving yourself some more time.
You will be the first to travel all islands of the Mediterranean 👌
I'm trying but have a long way to go, mostly because of the Greek islands. I think I've been to all the major Mediterranean islands outside of Greece. A few small Italian islands left to visit, a couple of Turkish ones and then it's all about Greece.
Near istanbul-Constantinople- there are the pringipos islands with rich history and many churches, interesting places to visit, if you have not already
Spiritual advanced ❤
👍👍👍
👍
I dont want Gabriel to be dissapointed because it's affecting me.
Gabe, I think you should have studied archaeology! Of course, that’s what you are doing now.
I love your videos. I'm wondering how you deal with being alone all the time or most of the time. Isaw you having your cheese and crackers on the side of the road many times. I think it's a high price to pay for what you do
"Come visit our hole!" 😂
Crawl in😂
Isn't it nice they give us 90 days. Even though our ancestors came from there, weird. Not Sardinia specifically but Europe as a whole.
Like the 90 days I am allowed to visit the USA as a European? Even though my sister lives there over 25 years.
It STINKS!
Worldwide, tourist visas are limited, but if you want to work in Europe you can. Many Americans work remotely in Italy, even from Sardinia.
One
Boom, got it.
🏆 CONGRATULATIONS! 🏆
@@GabrielTravelerVideosdid I win the pizza?

Too bad at 31 minutes. you missed a golden opportunity to enjoy some really delicious looking tunas.

Gabe visits cave dwellings dated bronze era,
around 5,075 bce. :
boring 😴
Uninteresting 🙄
Also Gabe: meh, I drove all this way for 8,000 year old small caves, ☹️
Me: OK my man, maybe it's time for you to take a vacation from your work? I say this in genuine sincerety.
Maybe you're getting jaded? Burned out?
