ron, which would later become the basis of an entirely new economy, was already in use in the Near East and Anatolia; though its use was limited to small, decorative items. There are some small daggers of meteoric iron in Hittite graves in in the tomb of Tutankhamun (3,325 years ago),
it is crazy to think that iron has held a place over 3000 years ago with it still being very prominent today and a total game changer when it was first able to be mass mined and produced.
The war featured the use of bronze arms and armor as well as bronze chariots, which were well-known in the Hittite empire.
This makes me imagine what the fear this army could have made you feel as you watch them approach with shiny bronze chariots and armour. ( yes I know that light doesn't shine of bronze as well as it does silver but when polished like I assumed it was it shines pretty well).
he earliest Egyptian texts were carved on the interior walls of pyramids and consist of spells, hymns, and rituals designed to protect deceased rulers on their journey into the afterlife.
This was interesting to me because it is a common type of hieroglyphic you see and to know what the basic of the text is, is cool to know.
Chinese writing is typically described as beginning with Oracle Bones that included short inscriptions used for divinatory purposes, beginning about 3,600 years ago
this was interesting to me for a couple different reasons the first being i needed to look up the word divinatory which i figured out is essentially predicting the future and the other reason is for how long the chines lead in history that it would only be since 3600 years ago was surprising to me.
