Earliest Sardinian Cave Tombs (Domus de Janas) 4100- 3200 BCE
(February 24, 2024) These tend to be single room tombs carved out of rock which in Sardinia are called Domus de Janas. This is a Latin phrase meaning "House of Janus" where Janus is the Roman life source God. The month of January is named for him. He is equivalent to the Druid Alu. Tombs were the source of ancestral life powers, of reincarnated life forms.
