ViKANGS literally left these natives bloomeries and iron working equipment and they still didn't develop iron weapons in the 500 year period before Europeans arrived again
>>217634568the weird shit is that they used copper for thousands of years before but they stopped using them over 2000 years before euros came
>>217634568It was cold and inhospitable up there. Primitive people that live in those conditions don't develop shit they just barely survive.
>>217636842kek why
>>217637111I don’t know, when are you going to gtfo of their countries?
> brain see stuff> brain knows how that stuff is made/worksIt doesnt work like that. Eurasian metallurgy was a process that involved many civilizations' skills & knowledge accumulated throughout millenia. American Indians were cut off from this process by crossing the Bering Strait
>>217637160no one knows, they may had just left north america and became mayans/aztecs, or maybe they died out in some kind of plague it's really quite weird and something is missinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Copper_complex
>>217637160They retvrned to tradition
>>217634568pretty sure l'anse aux meadows archeological site was void of any remnant of a forge, rendering this claim improbable
>>217634568the beothuk never interacted with outsiders to the point that they went extinct because their response to europeans settling all over Newfoundland was "guess I'll die"
>>217636842Copper is really soft by itself without lead to make bronzeIt’s pretty, easy to work with cold hammering but relatively useless. Stone and bone work better
>>217637111Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar I will live literally anywhere but India saaaaaaaaaaaaaaar
>>217637111i wish you didn't have electricity or access to the internet either
>>217636842>but they stopped using them over 2000 years before euros cameLiterally not true, at least not in mesoamericaThe castillian conquistadors depended heavily in bronze-industry of the mesoamericans, its a lesser known fact but they used the mesoamericans to make nails, spear heads & other tools with bronze, since they were not allowed by the Crown to establish foundries / didnt know how to work bronze (it was a lost knowledge)
>>217637111You are correct. Trying to civilize the lesser races such as yourself was a mistake that we are still paying for.
>>217637160so that was 7500 years ago the cost to effort ratio for copper annealing versus other things like flint knapping must not have been worth it. plus that's such a huge span of time (3000 years) the culture that did do copper annealing probably shifted, changed, left, traded, whatever
>>217637173>>217637900>>217637971>>217638155ZERO arguments. timmy won't do SHIT
