One of the inscriptions: Imber in Hispania maxime in campo cadit. Hispaniam numquam fui sed musicam amo.

Damn, impressive, they even found a chariot from back then (although it looks more like a modern car - you know what they say “what goes around, come around”). For those planning to bury their ‘hardware’, don’t bet on it being very difficult to find.

Happy accidents are fun... bladder accidents are no fun.
Cool find!

I hear this whole darned hidden empire fell apart because everyone there lost bladder control at the same time. :^)

The move from carts (oxcarts and whatnot) to the chariot (circa 4000 years ago) must have been like the leap from four-door hardtops to two-door convertibles.

Was nice of them to use the vehicle and dirt tracks for scale of this “empire”.
Appearance is that this was weekend property for families to enjoy fishing, swimming and other recreation.
Can imagine period structures equivilant to modern mobile homes on the site back then for use by Roman rednecks.

Probably happened during the reign of the Emperor Commodus...

I’m pretty sure that is where the hit song “Yellow River” by weepee freely originated.

Imagine what the orthodox world of archaeology is missing if a couple thousand-year-old city vanished beneath the soil.
Imagine what might be under water, if they actually acknowledged that civilization existed in more places than just what is now known as the Mediterranean Sea...
...and they weren’t just ‘hunter-gatherers’...

They did for a while, but the elephants kept stumbling over everything.

Why was it hidden?
And what could possibly go wrong?
