	Golden age - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Within sequences or cycles of eras, the golden age stands alongside the silver age and the iron age, and conditions can improve or decline according to one's conception of mythic progression.
		In Tolkien's mythology, the Golden Age can be identifed with the Years of the Trees, when Valar and Eldar lived in Valinor, lighted by the Two Trees and the stars.

	Bronze Age - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		The Bronze Age is a period in a civilization's development when the most advanced metalworking has developed the techniques of smelting copper from natural outcroppings and alloys it to cast bronze.
		The Bronze Age in the Near East is considered as beginning around 3300 BC with the increasing use of bronze and the rise of complex urban civilisation (to varying degrees and in varying forms) in the main cultural centres of the region, Egypt and Mesopotamia.
		The end of the Bronze Age in the Near East is normally associated with the disturbances created by large population movements in the 12th century BC and the rise of new technologies and political formations, characterised as the start of the Iron Age.

	Celtic mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Celtic mythology is the mythology of Celtic polytheism, the apparent religion of the Iron Age Celts.
		In contrast, those Celtic peoples who maintained either their political or linguistic identities (such as the Gaels and Brythonic tribes of the British Isles) did transmit at least vestigial remnants of the mythologies of their Iron Age forebears, which were often recorded in written form during the Middle Ages.
		In Gaul, it is speculated that the Dagda is associated with Sucellos, the striker, equipped with a hammer and cup.

	History Of The Scottish Nation - Vol 1, Chapter 6 - The Iron Age
		The iron age is a sort of twilight between the utter night of the stone and bronze periods and the morning of history.
		But if the first result of the introduction of iron, as in the case of bronze, was the dismal one of increased battle-carnage, aftertimes were to bring a compensation for this initial evil in the indefinite multiplication of the resources of art.
		There, too, is his shield with its iron rim and studs, together with his sword, the prey, all of them, of the same devouring rust, but telling their tale, all the same, of bloody conflicts long since over.

	Iron Age
		In archaeology, the Iron Age is the stage in the development of any people where the use of iron implements as tools and weapons is preeminent.
		For each individual region, the period is very hard to state in years, but the Iron Age corresponds to the stage at which iron production was the most sophisticated form of metalworking.
		Because the area in which iron technology first developed was near the Aegean, where Asia meets Europe, the technology propagated equally early into both Asia and Europe.

	Coming of Iron Age in Cyprus
		The mass immigration of Greek-speaking peoples from the Peloponnese began with the Iron Age (1100-700 BC).
		From the start of the 1st millennium the Greek language has been dominant in Cyprus; the fact that the dialectal form in which it first appears is known as Arcado-Cypriot confirms traditions of the Peloponnesian origin--and specifically of the Arcadian origin--of the immigrants.
		The later Iron Age was a period of advancing civilization, as evidenced by the spectacular chariot-burials of the royal family of Salamis, which so closely match descriptions in the Homeric poems as to suggest inspiration by them.

	Bookslut \| The Bog People: Iron-Age Man Preserved by P.V. Glob
		Despite the textbook feel of the work, however, Glob intersperses enough Iron Age poetry, mythology and truly amazing photographs to hold the attention of anyone with an interest in archaeology, anthropology, or history.
		He suggests implications of these details, offering explanations for everything from worn down teeth -- the Iron Age “diet consisted of vegetable foods ground on stone querns, and particles of stone became mixed with food”-- to wooden crutches found pinning down the bodies -– they were designed to hold restless spirits within the bog.
		Although occasionally boring and certainly not the scientific thriller it’s made out to be, The Bog People capitalizes on the strange preserving qualities of peat bogs to bring ancient history to life, showing the persevering reader a different view of the past that may change his/her perspective of the evolution of human civilization.

	Of Norse Loki and the Celt Lugh
		The main thrust here is that the Celts were amongst the earliest European tribes to smelt iron, their culture thus heavily influenced those tribes around them particularly the Norse, Northern or Germanic tribes.

		However, there is at present no comprehensive methodology for interpreting the complex web of cultural influences contributing to the formulation and codification of religious systems in the Aegean area, or for assessing their transformation through time.

		Many New Age theories are not new at all, being borrowed from Yoga, Hinduism, Taoism, Zen Buddism, and other ancient disciplines, transmitted by gurus from India and Tibet or, as it might be, from Brooklyn and California.
		The New Age approach to knowledge is quite different from the scientific method that seeks empirical evidence, replication, and validation, and treats purely subjective experiences as largely unreliable.
		One New Age devotee criticized the environmental movement for "broadcasting a doom, gloom and guilt message" and "projecting waves of doom and disapproval" that have caused the movement to be "disregarded for so long." But luckily "the tide is beginning to turn.

		Though much of this mythology survives, none of it survives in its original form - whatever that might have been.
		It only survived at all because it was written down in the middle ages by literate people (mostly monks and clergy) after it had been part of a centuries long mix-and-match of native Gaelic story-telling and of Christian biblical culture.
		It is too optimistic to call it (as Kenneth Jackson did) 'a window on the Iron Age': it just isn't that transparent.
