The last days of Tartessos
- INTPenis 5y agoI cannot see the name Tartessos without thinking of the S. M. Stirling Nantucket series of novels. Where the island of Nantucket is transported back to around the bronze age collapse. And the islanders have to figure out how to survive. One of their early allies is a merchant from Tartessos.

- drcongo 5y agoSlightly less cultured, I cannot see the name Tartessos without thinking of tartar sauce.
- helloworld11 5y agoAnybody interested in Tartessos should really read the time travel/alternate history Nantucket series novels by S.M Stirling. Don't want to spoil the plot details but in very basic terms, this tiny forgotten kingdom of the late bronze age turns into something entirely more powerful through the pure chance of one of its eventual leaders having contact with people from the late 20th century and stealing certain knowledge from them. Fascinating series of novels.
