Hittites.
The Hittites began working with iron around the same time that iron-smelting technology developed in sub-Saharan Africa. Several communities in Central Africa are connected by the Bantu 2 language.
Improvements in metal production technology can be traced back to the use of iron Ore. By the time tin became available again, iron was cheaper, stronger and lighter.
Asia. The earliest use of iron in the Mesopotamian states was perhaps 3000 BC. A dagger with an iron blade that was found in a Hattic tomb is one of the earliest smelted iron artifacts.
It was the Holocene.
The current era in which we live, the Holocene, has three new ages assigned by scientists. The most recent age is 4,200 years old. The last ice age ended 11,700 years ago.
Tutankhamun’s dagger is from the Bronze Age. The collapse of the Bronze Age in the 12th century BC caused this transition to take place. The technology spread to South Asia.
The age of iron. The Iron Age is the final technological and cultural stage. The Iron Age began in the Middle East and southeastern Europe around 1200 bce, but not in China until around 600 bce.
The metallurgy of iron Age. Iron production has been going on for thousands of years. The Stone Age and Bronze Age precede the Iron Age. It is an era in the history of Europe and the Ancient Near East that is similar to other parts of the Old World.
Iron was used in Egypt as far back as 3500 BC. There were beads of iron found. The heavenly association of meteorite iron made it a highly coveted material. Tutankhamun was buried with a dagger.
