The first city that took metallurgy from "small hand tools and ornaments" to "more or less mass produced weapons or trade goods."

Idk if it actually happened that way anywhere, but I think it'd be cool to live in the first "city of metal." Worship the god of metal. Metal fountains in the square. Metal cups at taverns. And of course soldiers with larger metal weapons and armor.

This is assuming perfect fantasy circumstances like not dying of tuberculosis and getting to insert myself into the revolution as it happens with my time traveler knowledge

Hey all, is there an updated version of the Histomap? Or any other huge infographic like it?

I really like the idea of more or less exhaustive infographics spanning lots of history (like the evolution one) and I'm thinking about buying one or trying to commit some of it to memory.

But I'm not really a fan of the fact that it's damn near 100 years old and has an accordingly narrow scope
