The first people known to work with iron were likely the Hittites, an ancient civilization in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey), around 1500 BCE. They are credited with developing techniques for smelting and forging iron, which marked the transition from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age. Other early ironworking cultures included groups in sub-Saharan Africa and the Near East, who also independently began to utilize iron around the same time.
