The Bronze Age is often seen as an age of mystery and magic, but it's also the age in which civilisation as we know it began. The discovery of bronze created something much more complex than an alloy of copper and tin: it created the technologies and trade networks needed to acquire and process those raw ma terials. It tamed hor ses, built sailing ships and wheeled vehicles to transport goods, brought people together in larger communities. and built walls and social structures around them: it created systems of writing so that they could keep tallies of trade and write letters to each other across bigger distances than many people had ever travelled before.
