History[]
“ | Bronze - an alloy of copper and tin - was discovered in the 4th millennium BCE. It was harder and more durable than copper, and so quickly overtook it as the preferred material for forging tools, arms, and armaments. Many of the existing copper objects were probably destroyed to craft the new, stronger substance. | ” |
