Somewhere I read that the depiction of Ephestus the forge god as a deformed men was a depiction of ancient blacksmiths using arsenic in their craft to make bronze. Long term exposure to arsenic it's not only mortal also can deform limbs an incapacitate before killing. So for the ancient greek their forge god had the features of the great forge masters of the mythical times.

Man, how did you manage to secure a copper sponsorship? You hardly see them sponsoring anything nowadays

The real world depiction of the different materials at the beginning were a very satisfactory representations. You have my admiration for this idea.

Every time I watch one of your vids on the pre-iron age, I'm convinced an excellent strategy game could be built from the resource gated situation: do you breed your warhorses, or risk them on expansion? Do you risk losing your copper weapons on an mercenary expedition, sell them as jewelry to neighbours, or increase crop yields with tools? Do you share metallurgy knowledge so you can trade for it later, or keep it secret and limit the total available resource?

I find it so interesting when inventions like copper smelting are invented independently of other civilizations. The crossbow is another good example.

I found the Bronze Age endlessly fascinating, and some independent research taught me about the Copper Age, but this video does such a great job at really illustrating this period of history. I didn't understand why copper became so important, but the context makes it clear. Coming from tools of stone and bone, metal probably turned society on its head! I loved one comment in particular, of how the people in the Bronze Age saw the Copper Age as a time of myths and legends. In the same way, we today look at our past and try to imagine it, so too did the people who came before us.

green stone: melts and turns into a shiny redish metal

The Copper Age must have been quite interesting maybe deadly but certainly not boring.

I did not know that arsenic was in some ore deposits of copper... makes sense that this would give rise to an alchemical mythos. The original name for Egypt was Khemit ~ Origin of the word CHEMISTRY ~ I suspect that gold and silver also had very early origins.

Great to hear a rundown of the copper age, always wanted to hear more about it ever since my Chemistry teacher casually mentioned it in one of his off-topic rambles.

High school history be like: First there was the Stone Age, and that lasted like three generations. Then papyrus, then Rome then the Magna Carta and pretty much nothing in between.
With a final that's fifty questions like: 'The Bronze Age was known for the use of __ in tools and weapons.'
(a) bronze
(b) rechargeable batteries
(c) lasers
(d) all of the above
