wonderful pic
Sigh all these ancient periods of European Bronze Age and early Iron are amazing, but they get too little show lights and they are often thought as the "meh poor barbarianZ little brothers" of the usual badass huge cultures, like Aegypt, Mesopotamic guys, those jerks of the Achaeans... XD
One of the main misconceptions is that a part of those earliest ages in europe were "prehistoric", but that means "no written language", not "huga babooga me smashes stuff with biiig stoone!"
Hallstatt, Urnfields, La Tene, Terramare, Villanova, all these cultures deserve much more attention and hopefully findings XD (i dont know the quantity of hallstat, la tene and urnfields findings, but i bet it's still not enough... well the last two ones, here in Italy, surely have too few findings and not enough valued T_T)

Yeah, all attention is on Celts, Gauls and Germanic tribes along with Vikings. People see prehistoric age as something to be ashamed of. It`s too bad. Just look at Etruscan- they are dusted by celto-gaulic propaganda of the modern world. Because of that I like to dig as much as possible about prehistory, different non existing north Mediterranean cultures. So I dig myself in archaeology, history and historical books. I`m especially happy when I can land hands and eyes on book which were written by ancient historians and writers. It is like drinking from the spring!

God, I wasn`t even seen the epics of my mistake. XD When I write in passion in comments I usually have results like this one. And you are right, everything became Eurocentric and few-main-cultures-centric....Too bad that knowledge is getting thinner concerning many ways to learn something via internet and books. I bought one old encyclopedia few days ago. It is from 1984., Croatian edition. Although it is filled with communist propaganda in some chapters, it is great book of knowledge from where I learned so much things about everything in my childhood. I bought if out of pure nostalgia, and for my (God be praised) future kids. They will grow in different society and with that books I want them to see what was then and how things evolved. Not to feed them with retro propaganda, but to show differences from which they can learn. And that encyclopedia is very wide in knowledge and there are so much stuff that is not in modern books. May of the knowledge books are, as you say, "simplified" and that annoys me. It is almost a sacrilege to simplify knowledge when there is so much from the world, especially now.
