Lady elche and Iberian civilizations

by JungianRelapse

I've been looking for more information regarding Iberian cultures especially pre bronze age collapse stuff.

The Dama de Elche is not bronze age -- if it is not a forgery (and I think the jury is still out on that, despite the efforts of the Spaniards), it is 4th century BCE at the earliest and probably trending more towards Hellenistic. If it is real, it is a blend of Punic, Greek, Celt-Iberian, and perhaps even Etruscan influences and was almost certainly part of a larger funerary monument of a seated figure. I would support a tentative identification of iconographic similarities with Tanit, the goddess consort of Ba'al in Punic religion.

For the Iberian Bronze Age, try searching for the cultural conglomeration called the Atlantic Bronze Age, and specifically the group named after the site at El Argar.
