INAUGURATION OF IRON AGE
Authorities Differ ss TO the Time and
Place Of its First introduction
to tho World.

Some authorities incline to the
view that the iron age was inaugur.
ated In Asia or In Africa. The inves.
legations Of recent years have pointed
to the conclusion that Il was not
worked In Egypt until the ninth cen.
tury before Christ, or in Libya until
450 B. O.: that the Semitic adopted it's
use still later, and that It has been
known in Uganda only within the
last FIVE or SIX centuries. There are
Chinese records OF date about four
centuries before Christ that mention
iron. Bronze weapons were employed
in China until about 100 A. D.
It is thought that the metallurgy Of
iron must have originated IN Central
Europe. especially In Noricum, which
approximately represented modern
Austria and Bavaria. Only at Hall.
stett and in Bosnia and Transylvania,
from which countries the Achaians
and Dcrians are supposed to have mi.
grated to Hellas, are found evidences
of q gradual Introduction Of Iron, at
FIRST as an ornament applied to the
bronze which II ultimately replaced.
Everywhere else iron was introduced
IN no gradual fashion. q fact that
implies a foreign origin. 2l
Meteoric Iron was known IN Egypt
in remote antiquity. but no doubt II
was worked as fiints are worked, By
cutting or chipping. and was not
amelted. In other words, Il was the
