Bronze Age cultures then spread across Asia, Europe, Africa and parts of the Americas between around 3000-600 BC. Key cultures mentioned include those in South Asia, East Asia like China, and across Europe like the Aegean, Hallstatt and Urnfield cultures. Bronze Age cultures varied in their early developments of writing, with Mesopotamia and Egypt creating some of the earliest viable writing systems like cuneiform and hieroglyphs.

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    The Bronze Age is a time period characterized by the use of bronze, proto-writing,
    and other early features of urban civilization.
    The Bronze Age is the second principal period of the three-age Stone-Bronze-Iron
    system, as proposed in modern times by Christian Jrgensen Thomsen, for classifying
    and studying ancient societies. An ancient civilization is defined to be in the Bronze
    Age either by smelting its own copper and alloying with tin, or by trading for bronze
    from production areas elsewhere. Copper-tin ores are rare, as reflected in the fact
    that there were no tin bronzes in western Asia before the trading in bronze began in
    the third millennium BC. Worldwide, the Bronze Age generally followed the Neolithic
    period, but in some parts of the world, the Copper Age served as a transition from the
    Neolithic to the Bronze Age. Although the Iron Age generally followed the Bronze
    Age, in some areas, the Iron Age intruded directly on the Neolithic from outside the
    region, with the exception of Sub-Saharan Africa where it was developed
    independently.
    [1]
    Bronze Age cultures differed in their development of the first writing. According to
    archaeological evidence, cultures in Mesopotamia (cuneiform) and Egypt (hieroglyphs)
    developed the earliest viable writing systems.
