The Tartessian Empire — Spain’s Forgotten Civilization
Summary
Tartessos was a wealthy ancient civilization in southern Iberia that thrived between the 9th and 6th centuries BCE through trade and access to rich metal resources. Influenced by both local Iberian cultures and Phoenician traders, it became a key hub in the Mediterranean economy. Its disappearance may have been caused by shifting trade networks, environmental changes, or political transformation, leaving behind one of Europe’s most mysterious lost civilizations.
