Episode Details

Tartessos, a mysterious society that thrived between the 9th and 5th centuries BCE, has intrigued historians for ages. Mentioned in Greek and Roman texts, its exact nature was unclear for a long time—was it a city, a kingdom, or even a river? Due to conflicting descriptions and a lack of solid archaeological evidence, pinpointing what Tartessos actually was proved difficult. Nowadays, it's generally believed that Tartessos was a civilization formed by a mix of indigenous people and Greek and Phoenician colonizers in the Iberian Peninsula. This unique blend of cultures created a rich and fascinating society that eventually disappeared abruptly, leaving behind many unanswered questions.
