The Bronze and Iron Ages. What do we use wheels for? Read and think. One, read and find out.

A, what did people make from metal? B, what did people invent? C, what did the Celts and Iberians

3
00:00:16,910 --> 00:00:25,929
make? The Bronze and Iron Ages are the second period of prehistory. The Bronze and Iron Ages

4
00:00:25,929 --> 00:00:32,630
started about 7,000 years ago and ended about 5,000 years ago. In this period, people discovered

5
00:00:32,630 --> 00:00:39,770
how to make objects from metal. First, they used copper, then bronze, and then iron. Bronze and

6
00:00:39,770 --> 00:00:46,969
iron age people melted metal to make different objects. They made tools, jewelry, and weapons

7
00:00:46,969 --> 00:00:53,189
from metal. People continued to live in villages, but villages got bigger and had walls to defend

8
00:00:53,189 --> 00:01:00,109
them. They invented the wheel. Because of this, people could transport food and products more

9
00:01:00,109 --> 00:01:07,750
easily. There was some more trade than before. There were more jobs that people could do.

10
00:01:08,109 --> 00:01:13,329
People could work as farmers and artisans like before. They could also be metal workers,

11
00:01:13,709 --> 00:01:21,250
soldiers, and traders. During the Bronze and Iron Ages, the Celts and Iberians lived in the Iberian

12
00:01:21,250 --> 00:01:27,590
peninsula. The Celts lived in the north and the west of the peninsula. The Iberians lived in the

13
00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:33,750
south and the east. The Celts and Iberians made sculptures from stone and large stone monuments

14
00:01:33,750 --> 00:01:39,689
called megaliths. Today, we can see sculptures and monuments that they made. The bulls of

15
00:01:39,689 --> 00:01:47,769
Guisando are in Avila. They're stone sculptures that were made in the second century BC, so before

16
00:01:47,769 --> 00:01:54,709
Christ. The Lady of Elche is in the National Archaeological Museum. It was

17
00:01:54,709 --> 00:02:04,709
made in the 4th century BC. The Pedra Gentil Megalith is in Vaigorquina,

18
00:02:04,709 --> 00:02:11,909
Barcelona. It was made between the 3rd and 4th centuries BC.
