Santa Cristina Holy Well

When do you think this was made?

The well was built by the Nuragic civilization in estimated 1300 BC (3300 years old). The Nuragic civilization lived in Sardinia, an island in the Mediterranean Sea, from 1800 BC to 200 AD, and though they were remarkably skilled masons whose impressive stone structures still stand, they did not leave behind any written record. If your wondering what they did with the well; here’s the dope part — The well is lined up so that sunlight shines upon the water on the equinoxes, and moonlight shines upon the water at the maximum declination of the moon, which happens once every 18 years and 6 months.
