Los Millares

Los Millares is a special place way, way back in time, in a country called Spain. It's near a city called Almería, in a sunny part of Spain called Andalucía. Think of it like a hidden treasure buried in the ground, waiting to be found! It's not a big city today, but it was a busy place a very, very long time ago.

People lived in Los Millares a super long time ago, even before the pyramids were built in Egypt! They lived there from about 5,000 years ago until 4,000 years ago. That's like saying people lived there from when your great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparents were kids, and even before that! It was a busy village with about 1,000 people calling it home.

The people of Los Millares were like early builders and farmers. They lived in houses and built strong walls around their village to keep safe. They probably grew food and took care of animals. They also made cool things like pottery and tools. It was a busy place where everyone worked together to live and thrive.

Guess what? Los Millares was found by accident! In 1891, some people were building a train track, and they dug up this amazing old place. It was like finding a secret from the past! Scientists have been digging and learning about Los Millares ever since, uncovering more secrets about the people who lived there so long ago.
