The ancient Egyptians primarily thrived during the Bronze Age, which lasted until around 1200 BCE. While they did have some knowledge of iron, particularly during the later periods, the widespread use of iron tools and weapons did not occur until after the Bronze Age had ended. Thus, while iron was known to them, ancient Egypt is not considered to have been a true Iron Age civilization.
