Iron age village, aerial view
Iron age village, aerial view, computer artwork. This village contains two large huts and an enclosure of livestock, all protected by a fence. The iron age is the last of the recognised prehistoric periods of human development, after the stone and bronze ages. It is marked by a move towards smelted iron as the main metal used for weaponry and tools. It began around 6000 years ago in Mesopotamia and spread to Egypt, India and Europe over the next few millennia. In Europe it began around 1000 BC, and ended with the written histories of the Roman Empire

EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view of an Iron Age village, depicted in stunning computer artwork, takes us back in time to a pivotal period of human development. The village is comprised of two large huts and a livestock enclosure, all protected by a sturdy fence. This snapshot showcases the final recognized prehistoric era before written history - the Iron Age. Around 6000 years ago, this transformative age emerged in Mesopotamia and gradually spread its influence to Egypt, India, and Europe over several millennia. In Europe specifically, it commenced around 1000 BC and concluded with the advent of written records during the Roman Empire. The Iron Age marked a significant shift towards smelted iron as the primary metal for weaponry and tools. It was an era characterized by advancements in agriculture and domestication practices that allowed communities to thrive. As we observe this image from above, we witness evidence of farming activities alongside glimpses into wildlife coexisting with humans. Through archaeology and historical research, we gain valuable insights into our ancestors' lives during this remarkable epoch. This illustration serves as a testament to their ingenuity while reminding us of our shared heritage with those who came before us.
