Archaeological finds don’t lie.

But how accurate is the explanation given in the museum?

As there are neither photographs nor eyewitnesses from the Bronze Age, various explanations are often possible. False statements and misinterpretations, but also dreams, wishes, fantasies, visions and idealised images, or ideology, politics and the spirit of the times, can influence this archaeological modelling.

So be careful!

What you see here is a speculative reconstruction from 2002. You should be aware of that. View our models critically. They have been produced with great care and a high degree of scientific accuracy, yet they are not free from error, for there are always several plausible interpretations for the same finding.

So what was it really like?

Was it like this? – or like that? – or something completely different?
