Bronze was easy to make but not too often to come by. It was made with copper and tin but tin was rare. They got it from the Euipeains and the miners. But the miners hunted for their food and never caught fish. One place Where their mind is a Face on the side of a mountain. But we don't know how they made it which is very interesting. What we do know is that there are caves with paintings in them like the cave people. Near that there were small communities that had a small, Prosperous Life until more came and that is where the Celts, fends and Greeks came to be. The Celts were sent or migrated to the middle of Europe and into another community and as a result they adopted, but they still stayed strong to some parts of their culture, art, language and other fascinating parts of their culture. Then around 800 BC iron was created. Somewhere around then the Europeans Stopped trading tin, so they started experimenting with the supplies that they had. One of those was a bunch of iron just laying around, Non-smelted iron is about the same as copper witch was not at all helpful. On the other hand if it was melted repeatedly in a hot furnace it would even be stronger than bronze! which they soon adapted to because it was stronger, better for them and the economy. Finally they found a new way to forge iron and it was even stronger than what they had already, they made it in a way that they had and they didn't use combustion so it was a win-win. They also discovered the longhorn cattle that they use. Then they also felt independent because of the big mountain ranges that they were so they blocked off any attackers even at the sea villages they would still be covered by the mountains. But there was a cost. They only got a harvest once a year of wheat corn etc. ect. Lastly they had bagpipes, had kind of like in Scotland in fact.
