A set of 66 objects of gold and other precious metals dating back about 3,000 years, known as the Treasure of Villena — one of the most valuable remnants of the Bronze Age in Europe — was stolen in the early hours of Thursday (27) from the museum in the province of Alicante, Spain. The alarm went off at 5:20 AM and, in just four minutes, the criminals had already left the premises with the treasure, which weighs almost 10 kilos in total. The action was classified by authorities as "super-fast and super-professional." The treasure, hidden for more than three millennia, was only discovered in 1963 by a team led by archaeologists.
