Museum treasure theft in Spain
The Velina Museum in Spain was subjected to an archaeological theft that lasted approximately 4 minutes, during which the majority of the Velina artifact treasure was stolen. This treasure is a unique collection of metalwork dating back to the Bronze Age (around 1000 BCE), including gold and silver vessels, a bracelet, crowns, and pieces made from meteoric iron. The investigation revealed that the theft endangered these significant artifacts, and studies have shown that the presence of meteoric iron in the collection provides evidence of the use of rare metals in ancient Europe. The loss of these items represents a major blow to European archaeological heritage. Authorities are still investigating this quick theft, which was carried out using vehicles, although a particular hypothesis has been ruled out at this stage.
