metal was not made but it was found in the ground. Like iron is found in the ground and it can be found in flowing rivers, that's why some flowing rivers have that orange colour. Recent Archaeological findings reveal that humans have been using metals since the Neolithic period and mining and working of metals began in around 8,000 BCE, ten thousand years ago. This is much longer than previously presumed. In fact, simple copper artifacts dating back to 9,000 BCE were recently found in Asia Minor.
