5,000 years ago, Valencian of the Conception (Seville) was the closest thing to NY. Where the city is today there was then an extensive tongue of sea.
In the area were installed the first sevillanos in primitive huts, just out of the caves. It was the first known attempt at life in society, the largest in Western Europe.
It is known that the Guadalquivir River flowed much further north, allowing the Atlantic to flow inland, reaching the current Valencina de la Concepción. This allowed this environment to be an important port of entry and exit of materials.
It was, according to archaeologist Thomas Schuhmacher, “a geostrategic zone very good”. “It would be like the New York of the period here in Western Europe”, points out Alfredo Nevero, professor of prehistory.
Back then, life was very different. They lived in very simple huts, without any urban order. But already began to generate social inequalities. Something they have discovered looking at the tombs: grave goods with gold and ivory for the rich, and bodies piled up where the poor.
Centuries later, the Romans founded the city of italicorigin of the current Seville.
