Follow me on:

There's a mountain in the Catalonia region of Spain called Montanissell where in 2004, amateur spelunkers discovered a karst cave hidden deep within its interior.

Within the cave in a corner of one of its galleries they found a burial dated to the Middle Bronze Age of some 3200 years ago: a group of eight individuals that provides a glimpse into the Middle Bronze Age world. The burial is not typical for Middle Bronze Age burials, and neither is the group of people found within.
