	Bronze Age - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The Bronze Age is a period in a civilization's development when the most advanced metalworking (at least in systematic and widespread use) consisted of techniques for smelting copper and tin from naturally occurring outcroppings of ore, and then alloying those metals in order to cast bronze.
		Although bronze artifacts were exhumed in historic site of Majiayao culture (3100 BC to 2700 BC), it is commonly accepted that China's bronze age began from around 2100 BC during the Xia dynasty.
		The Bronze Age in Ireland commenced in the centuries around 2000 B.C. when copper was alloyed with tin and used to manufacture Ballybeg type flat axes and associated metalwork.

		The Nordic Bronze Age was characterized by a warm climate that began with a climate change in circa 2700 BC (comparable to that of present-day Mediterranean).
		Due to the climate change and the loss of population, the nordic countries are generally described as going through a cultural recession at the end of the Bronze Age, lasting for a thousand years until the rise of another advanced civilization in the so-called Viking Age.
		It is interesting to note that while the sun seems to have been worshipped as a male figure during the Bronze Age, later Scandinavian pagan beliefs pictured the sun as a goddess (Sunna in Norse religion), and the word for "Sun" is generally attested with feminine grammatical gender in the later Germanic languages.

		To make bronze the copper (90%) and tin (10%) were melted in ovens and mixed together, this created the alloy known as bronze, to create a bronze object the bronze had to be melted to at least 950° Celcius or 1742° Fahrenheit (the melting point of bronze) after which it was poured into a mould.
