episode Decoding Tartessos: The Lost City That May Have Inspired the Atlantis Legend cover

Description

Before Rome, before Carthage, a mysterious civilization rose in southwestern Spain and became one of the wealthiest cities in the ancient world — then vanished without a trace. In this episode, Albany and Grace decode the legend of Tartessos, tracing its origins through Phoenician trade records, Greek texts, and the Bible itself. We dig into the source of its extraordinary wealth, its undeciphered writing system, and the archaeological clues buried beneath the marshes of southern Spain. Was Tartessos the real inspiration behind Plato's Atlantis? And why did one of antiquity's most powerful civilizations simply disappear around 500 BCE? The mystery is deeper than you think.
