Spain villena treasure: One of the most mysterious discoveries in Vilena’s treasury located in Elikante, Spain has been revealed. Two iron -like objects have been found from this treasure, a bracelet and a small round shaped jewelery. This is not iron but made of metal found from meteorite. This discovery is considered to be very important not only from the technical point of view but also in terms of cultural and symbolic importance.
This metal is different from the normal minerals on the earth. In this, the amount of nickel was found high, which is characterized by meteorites that fell from space. This proves that this metal is not naturally found on Earth. These artifacts of Vilena treasures are believed to be between about 1400 to 1200 BCE. This is from the time when the Iberian iron era was started, which is around 500 years ago around 850 BC.
The specialty of ancient ieberian people
This discovery indicates that the ancient Iberians had become familiar with meteorite. He recognized that metal and gave it religious or symbolic importance. He had developed the technique of shaping the metal at such an early stage. It defines the history of ancient metallurgy and shows that they were not limited to the resources on the earth only.
Meteorite
Meteorite items have also been found at other places in history, such as the dagger of Tutankhamen of Egyptians in ancient China and Mesopotamia weapons made of meteorous body iron. In this way, this discovery of Vilena shows that even in the ancient societies of Spain, meteorite metal must have been considered special from religious, rituals and social perspectives. It is possible that these items have been used by the elite of society.
Confirmation of scientific analysis
Morden scientific tests such as mass spectrometry were used to check this discovery properly. The analysis led by Salvador Rowira-Lores, an expert at Spain’s National Archaeological Museum, clarified the origin of these items that contained excessive amounts of nickel and cobalt. This discovery has been published in Trabajos de Prehistoria and is considered a guide to the future, so that other metallic objects can be tested without harming them.
