History[]
“ | Iron is one of the most common materials on Earth, but was only used starting in roughly the 2nd millenium BCE because of the high temperatures required for the smelting process. Once this hurdle was overcome, the more common and readily available material quickly superseded bronze for use in forging tools, armor, and weapons. Bronze retained a role in ceremonial, artistic, and craftsmanship spheres, however. | ” |
