Introduction

The Bronze Age (approximately 3300–1200 BCE) marked a significant transformation in human civilization. This period was defined by the widespread use of bronze for tools and weapons, fostering advancements in trade, urbanization, governance, and artistic innovations. Societies across Mesopotamia, Anatolia, the Mediterranean, and Northern Europe saw remarkable progress in metallurgy, architecture, and commerce. This paper explores three key aspects of the Bronze Age: the development and use of bronze tools and weapons, urbanization and trade networks, and artistic and architectural innovations.
