Pre historic age : Copper and Bronze age

                                          Copper and Bronze Age
Immediately after the New Stone Age men came to learn of the use of metals.In the beginning , they were greatly attracted by the lustre of gold but later on it was given up in favour of hard metals such as copper and bronze.But they were still not acquainted with iron.But historians hold divergent opinions regarding the use of metals as to which metal was used first of all.In Northern India stone was replaced by copper,and articles made of copper have been found all over Northern India.
People of this age started making tools and implements with copper and bronze in place of stone.These tools of Metal Age were sharper and more beautiful than the tools of Stone Age.As metal is harder than stone,tools of metal proved to be more durable.During this period the clay pots were replaced by the utensils made of metal.Men had become more civilized during the Metal Age.Their knowledge of agriculture,animal breeding and arts made them more civilized than before.
Now they used to wear clothes made of cotton and wool,but these clothes were improved upon a lot,if compared to the New Stone Age.In addition to different colours , they were decorated with various prints and improvised ventilators and windows,and had begun to live in colonies situated in the river valleys.
The people of the Metal Age had started worshiping various gods and also begun and people had developed a faith in magic and spells.Cremation of the dead was becoming popular day by day.
