Time of bronze - shimmering treasures from a dark past
Imagine your heart beats for your smartphone, the latest, shiniest and of course the most expensive model that you have finally bought after months of saving. Honestly, would you throw it into the nearest river?
Probably not, right? Absurd! But here's the thing: around 4,000 years ago, in the Bronze Age, that's exactly what our ancestors did with their most valuable treasures. Yes, that's right. Imagine glittering pieces of jewelry that sparkled in the sun and flashing swords that glowed in the dark were simply dumped in swamps and rivers. Goodbye, never to be seen again!
In her book, archaeologist Linda Dielemans takes us on an adventurous journey through time.
We discover the world of the Bronze Age, an era that goes beyond our imagination. She tells us about exciting discoveries,
mysterious places and objects that are so shiny that you almost need sunglasses. And then she asks the
million-dollar question: why on earth did people simply sink their most precious possessions back then?
Was there a deeper meaning to it?
