re: #150 freetoken
Many historians, when reconstructing the past, refer to a civilization collapse that is not often heard of in the wider public - the Bronze Age Collapse.
well, the bronze age collapse, which led to what are called the ‘archaic greek dark ages’, seems to have been caused by the invention of iron working technology
the iron weapons were much more effective than bronze, and were wielded by relatively barbarian groups. the era from 1 thousand BC to the time of christ is conventionally called ‘the iron age’
but i endorse the point that freetoken was making…
