The sword is neat but I do actually want to hear more about what caused the end of the First Iron Age. I’m generally aware that Iron Ages are actually by region and population but I’m not sure how the area would actually lose the technology, they’re surrounded by ancient iron sources and cultures.
Edit: it looks like they’re separating Iron Ages by how prevalent bronze still was, not that that there was a loss of the technology. Okay, I guess, but you could just call it a transitionary period…

Yeah it feels like a misnomer to call it a second iron age; it’s definitely misleading
