Montelirio's tholos is a grave that looks right out from sword and sorcery shit. A really important person (some studies claim it is a woman!!) inside a burial mound with other 20 bodies, possibly victims of sacrifice, and accompanied of CRYSTAL AND BONE WEAPONRY

Anyone who builds their house on top of a sword-and-sorcery grave filled with sacrificial victims and mysterious ancient ivory weapons has only themselves to blame when the inevitable happens.

You’re doing them a favor by stopping it.

Fascinating. I hope you guys will be able to protect this site it really sounds like there would be so much to learn from it. I'm just worried one of the issue is racism, way too many people over here in Europe get especially shafted when there are proofs that non white people lived here too.

That dagger is made of carved quartz, a human jawbone and Syrian elephant ivory (yes! From SYRIA in the IBERIAN PENINSULA)

This is outrageous. In other countries this would be protected like a milestone of Human History and here they want to bulldoze it to just to sell the land

About the "Ivory Lady" in Montelirio... Just in case you're interested in prehistoric women buried with the honors of a warrior (can't blame you, I am too)

About the origin of the ivory... I consulted this paper for my master's end dissertation and it has evidence of the Asian origin of the ivory, but sadly it seems it cannot be read online without paid access? 🥲🥲

I had access to the physical publication and through my institution back in the day, but I'm not a researcher anymore, so access' blocked now
