Need to read up on this more myself, but AFAICT from a quick survey:
unidentified megalith builders -> Beaker People/Los Millares -> Agraric
culture/Levantine Bronze Age -> major upheaval c.a. 1300 B.C., Urnfield
culture -> Phoenicians colonize the south and Celts roll in during the
Iron Age -> development into the Iberian culture of antiquity -> Rome
and Carthage decide that Iberia would make a lovely battlefield.

*Fascinating* how much of history was already well underway before we'd
even started writing stuff down. Makes you wonder what we'd learn if we
could only *know* what happened vs. guessing from abandoned villages &
fragments of material culture; how many stories are lost to the ages?
