Nice video. I do, however think that Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age all imply that they are prehistoric or to a high degree prehistoric. There are of course exceptions. China and Egypt have a long history that goes back into Bronze age. The tricky think with Iron Age is that it doesn't end in such a dramatic way like the Bronze Age, ending with Bronze Age Collapse around 1100 BC. Sticking to Europe, I suggest that Iron Age is gradually taken over by Medieval Time somewhere between 500 and 1000 AD. Some of you out there might be angry at me since Julius Caesar, Cicero, Herodotus and Thucydides were writing down history long before that date. Still, much more texts survive from the Medieval period than from Antiquity, and thus the Archaeologists have a great say over that time period. That's my attempt at trying to draw a blurred line between (prehistoric) Iron Age and Historic Time.

Nice video. So, the main advantage of iron as far as warfare goes, was that it allowed for larger armies to be fielded by peoples with this technology. I think that is a bit of an oversimplification. Iron tools and weapons became common for the reasons you listed, but everyone had them. I would argue that the Hitties main advantage over their foes was the mastery of chariot warfare. That is the only nitpicking thing I can point out about your video. I learned a lot about the Iron age from your presentation, good job!

Thank you

So much interesting information!

I am planning a game and your videos about stone, bronze and iron age were very efficient

Would it be possible for you to cite the books used as reference. Thank you.

Are there any sources for the information after the 5th minute?

The Age of Iron also involves the Bronze Age collapse which may have been partially due Earthquakes and other natual phenomena plus warfare. I think that the process of making iron would have been a closely guarded secrets in some locations. The ore may not have been so rare but the processing knowledge might have been?

Well at first your right but the knowledge of forging iron spread super fast at the beginning of the iron age from what I understand wars and the ability to mine aluminum are two of the biggest factors to the bronze age collapse

Please upload more videos Related to anthropology

Iron Age started in South india in Tamil civilization 2000bc. Check latest findings. Unfortunately focus on Indian history were always on Sanskrit, Aryan and Indus Valley civilization!!!

The iron age never ended. We're still living in it. Though the age of superconductors is also here. We're living in the Iron/superconductor age just like the stone and bronze age before us

How do you jump straight there???? That should be impossible.......

bronze preserves well and can be strengthed with certain technique!

You missed the "Copper Age", since you cannot have bronze without copper, and it was part of the transition from Stone to Bronze.

Kind of not saying copper age isn't it's own thing, nor have I even watched the video yet, but arsenic bronze wasn't too uncommon due to it being in many of same veins. granted one could argue that untill they were purposely adding it that it doesn't count. And that people just like to forget the copper age for some reason.

I love you Bhai

Fascinating thank you for including what was going on in Africa too. Was there any equivalent in the Americas?

Thanks a lot! Iron was never smelted by Native Americans, thus the New World never entered a proper "Iron Age" before European discovery, and the term is not used of the Americas.

@@primevaloldman So what you're saying is that for all practical purposes it's the same as BC and AD but we changed from that nomenclature which was universally accepted and understood in the West and Eastern Europe for well over a thousand years until the very recent rise of political correctness just because of an irrational hatred of Jesus Christ.
