Once again I expect your readings will show that our ancestors were smarter, more mobile and technologically savvy than is generally assumed.

Indeed...

 

The scope of the Bronze Age world is totally underestimated and though archaeology has been shedding light on that fact, the message hasn't seemed to filter into the public domain.

When I was in Alicante in the summer of 2003, I was lucky enough to meet up with friends from that area who were history nuts, like us. They were pointing out all sorts of sites around the town that were ancient...including the town wall that was there before the Romans got there, and to which they added significantly. One town, Elche/Elx, has a very active Roman and Pre-Roman dig. I didn't get a chance to get out there, but I desparately want to go back, and in particular to Elche and other similar areas.
