Se non li hai visti dal vero non puoi capire cosa vuol dire sentire un suono che viene dalle profondità del tempo e vederli avanzare ciondolanti con la loro danza lugubre e primordiale, sono maschere antiche non uomini non bestie non demoni sono i Mamuthones e un'emozione forte prende chiunque perché loro sono unici. -------------- I Mamuthones e gli Issohadores di Mamoiada sono le maschere sicuramente più rappresentative del Carnevale barbaricino e della Sardegna. La loro origine è molto antica e misteriosa e numerose sono le interpretazioni circa il loro significato. Alcuni studiosi affermano che il rito dei Mamuthones e degli Issohadores rapprenti un fatto storico realmente accaduto. L'invasore reso schiavo dai Sardi, ossia secondo lo studioso Raffaello Marchi, i mori fatti prigionieri dai Sardi (gli Issohadores abbigliati coi panni dei Vinti). In merito a questo rito lo studioso Raffaello Marchi pubblicò nella rivista Il Ponte la sua tesi e i suoi studi sulle nostre maschere. Altri come il Masala ritengono che in realtà essi rappresentino il popolo sardo prigioniero dei punici. Ma c'è anche chi riconduce la danza dei Mamuthones ad un rito apotropaico e propiziatorio, un rito che allontanerebbe il male per favorire annate agrarie favorevoli e abbondanti. Non dimentichiamoci che tutti i popoli antichi fin dal neolitico adoravano la Dea Madre portatrice di fertilità e abbondanza, senza la quale non poteva esistere la vita. A proposito del rito agropastorale non bisogna dimenticare che la prima uscita dei Mamuthones, il 17 gennaio di ogni anno, coincide proprio con l'inizio dell'annata agraria. Un'altra tesi molto interessante è l'interpretazione del Prof. Francesco Naseddu, secondo il quale i Mamuthones sono gli attori di uno spettacolo/festa di matrice bizantina, “la majuma” o “majumada“. Secondo questa interpretazione, i bizantini istituirono questa festa anche a Mamoiada, e da questa probabilmente ne deriverebbe il nome. Una curiosità: quando si chiede ai bambini di imitare i Mamtuhones questi ultimi mimando la sfilata recitano: “ajum – ajumma”, che questo modo di dire si sia tramandato nei secoli in seguito alla festa della “majuma”? Io lancio un'interpretazione diversa sono scimmioni Maimuta si chiama la scimmia in rumeno e un tempo lontano anche in Sardegna vivevano le scimmie, chissà Buona notte a tutti e a tutte e un abbraccio da emme

Hello Emme, very interesting the caption you wrote, you did a great job. Seeing this beautiful image of you I seem to hear the sound of a myriad of bells and see the mamuthones moving as only they can do. I saw for TV on Geo & Geo this carnival that put me a sea of amazement. An excellent file also for the wonderful toning of the b/n, very good a hundred times
Hello, good evening and good start to the week :-) :-)

Here in the neighborhood we had a historic Sardinian restaurant (now closed) that bore their name. And only after years I had informed myself that they were masks of ancient origin, which is lost in the distant past pagan. Superlative shot, with a gloomy BN that makes the idea of their stumbling.
