Early Bronze Age Societies
The Early Bronze Age, occurring around 3300 to 2100 BCE, marked a significant period in human history characterized by the development of metalworking, particularly with copper and tin. Societies began to form complex social structures, leading to the rise of city-states and trade networks. Agriculture flourished, allowing populations to grow and settle in one place.
During this time, advancements in technology and writing emerged, with the invention of cuneiform in Mesopotamia and the use of hieroglyphics in Egypt. These innovations facilitated record-keeping and administration, contributing to the organization of societies. The Early Bronze Age laid the foundation for future civilizations.
