The Nuraghi.

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.
