The Mother Goddess of Turriga: Matriarchy, Myth, Principle of Existence

<p>The Mother Goddess of Turriga, in Sardinia (Italy), dating back to the 4th millennium BC, is considered the most beautiful effigy depicting female sacredness, in the entire Mediterranean. It was found in 1935 by a farmer who, unaware of the enormous historical-cultural value of the find, left it in the hands of his children who abandoned it on a wall of their home. It was later found by a doctor from Senorb&igrave;, Massimo Coraddu who handed it over to archaeology experts for further study.</p> <p>This example of a female deity of pre-Nuragic Sardinia turns out to be the largest and best preserved of all those found on the island so far: it presents itself as a Junoesque female figure in marble 44 cm high and 18 cm wide. Scholars believe that the Mother Goddess of Turriga represents the Earth, the principle of existence, the life-giver, the sacred womb, and the place that will welcome the remains of men after death. The Mother Goddess of Turriga is kept at the National Archaeological Museum in Cagliari.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/the-identity-current/the-mother-goddess-of-turriga-matriarchy-myth-principle-of-existence-fbda5b88e692"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
