bronze is not much easier to work than copper, I have cold hammered copper bars into axes and adzes , I tried cold hammering bronze bars and it splits and separates before getting to the desired edge, and so bronze needs annealing to form a good blade , copper can be cold hammered

Bronze can be easily cast, however, and it flows well. Molten copper is gluggy and casts like oatmeal. Bronze's ability to flow when molten allowed the early open molds to be superseded by lost wax, and the casting of complex forms.

How well would a copper axe hold an age say for example it was employed in chopping down trees? ISn’t copper soft?

you can find videos of that here on youtube, and stone axes, and how to make them, it is where I learned how to do it @@nigeldawson5960

I see the bronze age as the 1st hi-tech age, it must have been truly radical at the time.
@steveclark53576 ай бұрын
I disagree sir there are millions of years of hi-tech progression , flintknapping was the first high tech step , there are millions of years learning in the lithic age, I am a flintknapper , I make tools , weapons from flint just like the neanderthals

What was radical was the fact they got all this vital information about technology from aliens. Could you imagine seeing giant space ships landing and the aliens dispersing all this information. They probably thought the aliens were God's. Probably the beginning of religion because of alien arrival

It all didn't start so much with bronze. It started with the domestication of animals and the invention of farming, even more specifically agriculture... 😮

I thought that recently it has been shown that Romania and Bulgaria first invented the wheel, before the Middle East. Also they used copper before Greece.

I'm pretty much shocked, talks about Greece while skipping Vinca, Varna and everything else
