Phoenician Tombs in Sardinia and Mr. Berlusconi · Jul 24, 03:57 PM by James Martin

The picture below is of burial urns at Sant’Antioco (Ancient Sulis) on the southwest side of the island of Sardinia.
It all started with Mr. Berlusconi bragging to a young women about his estate. He’s no Saint, remember.
