Bronze Age (1 janv. 3000 av. J.-C. – 1 janv. 1200 av. J.-C.)

Description:

The Bronze age was an age where bronze and copper were the predominant metals used for tools and weapons.

Other technological improvements in the Bronze Age include:
- pottery
- monumental architecture
- wheel and axle
- writing (cuneiform)
