The Nuraghi.

There are 8000 on the island and have no apparent purpose, many of them also must have took a really huge effort to be built, given their size and height.

What was that place they showed in ancient aliens that was a giant floodable well with many tiers on an island that nobody knows who built it and for what purpouse, some claiming it was the crusaders?

Not so mysterious now, as archeologists have discovered who built it (Phrygians and then Greek Christians escaping Muslim and T*rkroach persecution), but still fascinating.
