The Bronze Age was a period of history from 3300 to 1200 BC. It is characterized by the creation of bronze, which was much stronger than copper, by mixing molten copper with molten tin. The three phases of the Bronze Age are the Early Bronze Age (3300—2100 BC), the Middle Bronze Age (2100—1550 BC), and the Late Bronze Age (1550—1200 BC).
