Excellent summary of a very obscure subject about which little information is readily available for non-professionals.

Fascinating stuff, and very interesting. I must confess I'm particularly interested in the prehistory of Portugal and especially the Algarve. Can you recommend any English language (I'm still at an early stage of learning Portuguese) sources for learning more about these areas?

The two volumes of A History of Portugal and the Portuguese Empire is a good introduction. Sadly, I haven't been able to find many books on Portuguese history in English, if you have any recommendation for me I would really appreciate it.

Thank you Tyler! I hope I improve the quality of the podcast over time. In a month I will already talk about the Muslim conquest of Spain!

The discovery of Tartessos has been one of the most important recent discoveries in Mediterranean archaeology, showing that the Tartessians were in many ways the equivalent of the Etruscans in Italy. So far they have only been known from a couple of obscure reference in Herodotos, but now archaeology is uncovering this remarkable civilisation, comparing Tartessos with the Etruscans. Both cultures are considered to be unknown mysteries, both languages are undicifered yet based on the Phoenician alphabet, AND both belonged to the same world's trade route of their Phoenician (Canaanites) partners: Tyre --> Tarsus --> Cartage --> Etruria --> Tartessos Tarshish is not just a name of one place, it is a nation, a greek sub-race of people, and all that proves that the people of Tarsus-anatolia, Etruscans of Italy & Corsica, and the Tartessians of south Spain, Gibraltar are in fact one people who gave their name to all 3 places: TARSHISH
