subtitled: New analysis unveils the origin of the storied Carambolo Treasure, and despite previous claims, it has nothing to do with Atlantis.

Part of the Treasure of El Carambolo. This hoard was discovered at El Carambolo, Spain, 3 kilometers west of Seville and spurred interest in the local Tartessos culture, but recent scholars have debated whether the treasure was a product of local culture or of the Phoenicians.

Why do you suppose these items from 2700 years ago are more beautiful and unique than anything I could buy today?

Wonder what happened to all that Inca and Aztec gold sent to Spain, then transferred to the USSR during the Spanish Civil war, where it disappeared, never to be seen again.

Reminded me of the stolen gold of Tolosa that disappeared during Roman times, probably into the pockets of a Consul or general. The McCullough lady had a candidate in her books but I forget who he was.
