Britain's Pompeii: The Remarkably Preserved Burnt Bronze Age Village

Archaeologists are excavating Must Farm in Cambridge, often called the "Pompeii of the Bronze Age," which offers a fascinating glimpse into life over 3,000 years ago. Discovered in 1999 near Peterborough, this exceptionally well-preserved settlement seems to have been abandoned and burned around 900 BC. Ancient causeways and beautifully crafted metalworks, such as swords and spears, reveal a vibrant community with a thriving industry and potential ritual practices. Must Farm remains a captivating testament to the sophisticated lives of Bronze Age people, offering a wealth of stories from the past.
