- Summary:
- "Everyone has heard of the Greeks, the Romans, and the Celts. These brilliant and prosperous civilizations have been prominent in the history of Europe and the Mediterranean Basin. Nevertheless, another ancient culture—what archaeologists call the “El Argar” civilization—has been erased from our collective memory. This civilization ruled over all of southern Spain between 2200 and 1550 BC, until it suddenly disappeared. It then sank into oblivion for thousands of years. Spanish archaeologists nevertheless have found traces of the Argaric culture a few kilometers from the city of Murcia. They have recently uncovered a remarkable edifice, an ancient palatial construction, which makes up one of the oldest political precincts in Europe. That discovery sheds light on this strange and previously mysterious civilization."-- Provided by Heritage Broadcasting Service.
