	THE GREAT BRONZE AGE OF CHINA
		The development of bronze metallurgy in ancient civilizations meant a settled and organized society, for bronze-making required locating, protecting, mining, and smelting the ores that contain copper and tin, the two metals that are alloyed to produce bronze.
		In ancient China, the talents of bronze workers were put to a third, very special use: the casting of drinking vessels and food containers which played central roles in ancestor worship and state rituals.
		Besides revealing the superb skills of ancient artists, they enabled us to reconstruct the religious, political, economic, and cultural aspects of civilization which developed at about the same time that Stonehenge was being built in England and the principles of Judaism were being framed.

	ANCIENT BRONZE AGE VILLAGE
		With a view to exploring the earlier phases of the settlement, the excavation was extended to the zones outside the three structures.
		Close to hut 4, two foetuses, aged four and a half and six months, were found buried among crushed pottery remains.
		The removal of the levels beneath the original surface covered by the eruption brought to light traces of an older settlement, in the form of a few flattened, perhaps burned, huts, laid out in the same direction as the more recent structures, and a number of metal processing furnaces.

	Diamonds \| American Museum of Natural History
		These age differences help clarify a picture of diamonds having crystallized and been stored beneath the ancient continental cratons and only later being lifted to Earth's surface by kimberlites.
		Since inclusion minerals crystallized simultaneously with their diamond host, the age of the inclusions gives the age of the diamond.
		The ancient age of peridotite diamonds suggests that the formation of ancient Archean continental cores (archons) included diamond crystallization in the underlying mantle lithosphere.

	Egypt: Old Age in Ancient Egypt
		But this was certainly not the case in ancient Egypt, when children frequently never made it to adulthood, women often died in childbirth and simple diseases very treatable today could take a loved one at any given moment.
		That may have been the case in Ancient Egypt as well, but there was a duty and responsibility for the adult children, particularly the oldest son when applicable, to ensure that the parents would be properly buried and their funerary needs met.
		Lastly, in an age today where it seems to be a "new" and startling idea that the elderly might still be capable, talented, and have much to offer, it should be noted that many top officials in the ancient Egyptian government were on in years.

		At the age of 15, each male child went to telpuchcalli ("house of youth"), where he learned the history and religion of the Aztecs, the art of war and fighting, the trade or craft specific to his calpulli, and the religious and civic duties of everyday citizenship.
		The second age was Four Wind, dominated by Quetzalcoatl (Sovereign Plumed Serpent); men were turned to monkeys and the world was destroyed by hurricanes and tempests.
		The third age was Four Rain, dominated by Tlaloc (the rain god); the world was destroyed by a rain of fire.

	Coming of Age (Getty Press Release)
		Ancient Greek artists were the earliest to create images of children that did not portray them as miniature adults.

	Modern Age: Interpreting ancient texts
		PIERRE HADOT, emeritus professor of classical history at the College de France, is highly regarded among scholars of ancient philosophy for his authoritative commentaries on Plotinus and for an outstanding study of Marcus Aurelius' Meditations (The Inner Citadel, Harvard, 1998).
		That thesis, briefly stated, is that we thoroughly misunderstand ancient philosophy when we take it to be the elaboration of intellectual "systems," because its essence is above all the choice, practice, and justification of a radically transforming way of life.
		Given that this thesis amounts to a wholesale indictment of the way contemporary philosophy professors teach ancient philosophy, it is not surprising that this thesis has generated more discussion among theologians interested in forms of spiritual life and classicists interested in ancient institutions than among those professionally trained in ancient philosophy.

	Ancient Ice Age
		The Earth had plunged into a major ice age, and an ice sheet similar to that in Antarctica covered most of his landmass.
		It was caused by a moving ice sheet, and is one of the few places in the world where such ancient markings are so well preserved.
		As the ice moved north westwards over the ancient landscape, sand and silt in the base of the ice polished the bedrock to a smooth finish like a giant piece of sandpaper.

		He began his career as an advocate at the age of twenty-five, and almost immediately came to be recognized not only as a man of brilliant talents but also as a courageous upholder of justice in the face of grave political danger.
		But I have known many of them who never said a word of complaint against old age; for they were only too glad to be freed from the bondage of passion, and were not at all looked down upon by their friends.
		Now, old age is, as it were, the playing out of the drama, the full fatigue of which we should shun, especially when we also feel that we have had more than enough of it.

	Greek Architecture
		Callicrates and Ictinus' attitude toward religious architecture ceased to be that of the superstitious priest-architect held subject to unvaryingly precise (and often hypnotically elaborate) repetition of prescribed forms and became instead that of the artist rationalist--adjusting, refining, and simplifying forms to make them quietly effective and satisfying to the eye.
		During Perikles' Golden Age, ancient Greek civilization was represented in an ideal way on the hill and some of the architectural masterpieces of the period were erected on its ground.
		The altars of Zeus Hypatos, of Poseidon and Erechtheus, of Hephaistos, of the hero Boutes, of the Thyechoos, and the very ancient xoanon of Hermes, all had to be accommodated harmoniously.

		The Neolithic was followed by the Bronze Age Civilization which the English archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans, who excavated the palace at Knossos, called "Minoan" after Minos, the legendary king of Crete.
		The ancient authors speak mainly of Minos, the king who had his capital at Knossos, and was a wise lawgiver, a fair judge (who therefore judged souls in Hades after his death, along with Rhadamanthys and Aiakos) and a great sea - dominator.
		Evans divided the Minoan age chronologically, on the basis of the pottery, into "Early Minoan", "Middle Minoan" and "Late Minoan".

	New Fossil Discoveries Clinch Ancient Age Of Human Ancestor
		UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Newly discovered African fossils could resolve questions over the age and evolution of a species thought to be the most ancient known upright-walking ancestor of humans, according to research to be published in today's (May 7) issue of the journal Nature.
		Some scientists questioned the antiquity of the fossil bones described in the 1995 paper, which were found sandwiched at different depths between layers of rock and ancient soils, because a definite time of origin could not then be measured for the youngest layer.
		"In 1995 we could not firmly establish the age of the youngest geologic layer associated with these fossils because the best dating technique, the 40 Argon/39 Argon method, needs crystals and this particular layer is mostly powdery ash," Walker explains.

	U.S. researchers confirm age of ancient benediction amulets \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Two tiny strips of silver, each wound tightly like a miniature scroll and bearing the inscribed words, were uncovered in a tomb outside Jerusalem and initially dated from the late seventh or early sixth century B.C. – some 400 years before the famous Dead Sea Scrolls.
		The two silver scrolls were found in 1979 deep inside a burial cave in a hillside known as Ketef Hinnom, west of the Old City of Jerusalem.
		A close study, McCarter said, showed that the handwriting is an early style of Hebrew script and the letters are from an old Hebrew alphabet, which had all but ceased to be used after the destruction of Jerusalem.
