The elite cemetery of the Bronz Age means that women were ruler

A burial site found in Spain described by archaeologists as one of the most luxurious in the bronze age discovered so far in Europe has caused speculation that women may have been among the rulers of a very stratified society that had flourished on the Iberian Peninsula until 1550 [...]

Since 2013 a team of more than dozens of scientists have been investigating a place in La Almoloya in the region of Murcia, southern Spain.

This country was known as the home of El Agar, the largest bronze - powered society, had built complex urban centers, and was developed into a state organization. This place is part of a larger territory, reports The Guardian, records Periscope.

The article published Thursday in “Anticity” has documented one of the most amazing finds in that country: a man and a woman buried in a Keramic country, both of whom had died together in the mid - 17th century BC.

They were buried with 29 valuable objects, nearly all belonging to a woman, believed to have been between the ages of 25 and 30.

It seems that everything she touched had silver in it,” said Cristina Rihuete of Barcelona Autonomous University.

Among the things found were bracelets, rings, and a rare kind of crown known as diadem. A total of 230 grams of silver were found.

The important role women may have played in society was another finding at El Agar; similar diademas were found in four women's burial places, where elite fighters were primarily buried.

The company, which flourished from 2200 BC and here, was highly organized with a wealthy elite perhaps maintained by a tax system.  /Periscopi
