There are ancient myths, are modern myths. The first stems from the stories of fathers, the latter sometimes in some scientific discovery.
Thus, reinforcing the myth of the isolation of island inhabitants of the island of Sardinia, from time to time check out our territory in which there are genetically homogeneous areas, buildings and old. Great to make us a mapping of DNA.
In short, the Sardinians are also genetically different from others. Speaking as an ancient myth, we could say that we are indigenous, born from the Earth Mother, and never mixed with other people.
I say "we" as Sardinian, although my family seems to be the original "the continent" even came to Sardinia in ancient eras defined as less ... However
: giving heed to the DNA of Ogliastra, he is quite right the "Aunt Mary" is in every country, which, before the arrival of a stranger in the village square, it breaks down, and invariably asks " And tui, de chinisesi? ". That is: "Who you are (son)?".
implying: "If you came here, in this island, you are a returning emigrant, you can not be a stranger. In Sardinia there are and will only pass the Sardinians (with the exclusion of the police officers and nobles exploiters).
modern myths, in fact.
Because in ancient myth, Sardinia, an island in the middle of the Mediterranean West, was a "seaport" (you pardon the pun), as its location and its wealth implied.
The population was still considered a very mixed origin: not less than thirteen peoples have given rise to Sardis! An island that, at the time of law, received a land settlers today and one tomorrow. And not all the myths of antiquity hidden behind the appearance of an alleged rule recently.
In the face of genetic continuity and isolation ... This series
Post wants to lead the "continental" and also to find out where the Sardinians, as the classical myth, was the Sardinians.
But do not be afraid: if you fear alien origin, or Atlantean Shardana \\ people of Dan and more ... Well, these are modern myths that we will see again. A small note
According to other modern myths, the Sardinians were all unfailingly stubborn, hospitable, pastors, closed in the countries of the Interior, Terragni and sailors, unable to speak without doubling the consonants ...
Worse, some thirty years ago there was the myth that all the Sardinians were kidnappers. A vision
much to 'outsiders', to tell the truth!
Of course, even among the people of my island there are those who imply that "real Sardinian" are only those with a sort of "pure blood" traditionalist (pastor, friendly, stubborn, etc.. Etc.) Reserved for those who live in mountains of the interior. But if we analyze the information document of history and not a priori belief (the word "myths" Understanding in the negative, in fact), this is a tradition that has always had value not only for a major portion of the island population.
The only "belief" that has scientific value is that in Sardinia
is a high percentage of centenarians. We should not worry too much, however: it also increases pollution from us, and the data on longevity may soon become just another myth ...
