In the eighties I was doing my Doctoral Thesis on the Paleolithic on the coast of Cartagena.
Seven years excavating small shelters, with the help of students and of course, specialists, from surveyors to anthropologists, palynologists, a geologist, sedimentologist, malacologist, paleontologist, cartoonists, photographers.
graph ..., and a dating lab.
A real army to get data from really small surfaces. After several years I was able to publish a book gathering the data of all the specialists.
Slow but fruitful work.
For this reason, I am very surprised that someone, without being a specialist, published an extensive volume on the Palace of Asdr bal in 2015.
The character in question did not carry out excavations, he did not spend 20 years investigating, he did not have any specialist, he only visited a plot in Cartagena, studied an aerial photograph and took out his book.
A true song to the sun, a nonsense. Behind him was an army, we suppose well-intentioned, applauding the tremendous and monumental discovery.
The book came with the seal of the Royal Academy of History.
For this reason, when I decided to write “Real and… truly false Murcia Stories ”, I got in touch with the Director of the Academy.
He explained to me that the absurdity of approving the edition of a book, such as the one at hand, was committed by another character and that when she took possession it put him on the street, creating a drafting committee , to prevent "other prawns" from getting in, such as the one from the Asdr bal Palace in Cartagena, by Iv n Negueruela. In Cartagena, regardless of the political party in power, they are clear that their future depends on the development of the port and archeology.
They fight for the recognition of the city as a “World Heritage Site.
Any work to be carried out has first an archaeological excavation, with an army of good archaeologists who have put Cartagena on the map, at the European level, and their work is to be appreciated and applauded. Therefore, it is striking that the aforementioned archaeologist's apprentice and his supporters cry out against the destruction of a possible Hasdr bal tent, which he describes as a palace and even rebuilds it, we do not know in what way.
The last straw is that the reconstructive drawing is identical to the pyramid of Taj n, a pre-Aztec construction in Mexico.
By the way, Asdr bal only spent five years in these lands, what builder is capable of doing something at that time? Ricardo Montes Doctor in Archeology and Ancient History function { ;(, , {});}
