Over four thousand years ago, something remarkable began in southern Iberia. They lived in densely populated fortified hilltop settlements protected by strong walls and even high towers. As well as homes they had workshops, granaries, and large meeting halls. This was a strictly hierarchical society ruled by powerful chieftains - or perhaps kings and queens. They interred their dead beneath the buildings of the settlements, in pits, stone boxes, or in enormous ceramic jars. The elite men were always given copper and bronze weapons while the elite women wore gold or silver jewellery and sometimes beautiful silver diadems. So who were these people? And what ultimately led to their downfall? This is the amazing story of the bronze age rulers of Spain – what some have called the first state society in Western Europe - the Argari culture.
