`I believe I have given valid reasons already http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:AndromedaHeo2 but not sure If I have listed on the correct page i.e my talk page?  If I have read correctly then the earliest date on the wiki Iron Age Page is given as approx. 2000 B.C I dont find this Helpful in the context that it could quite possibly be 2000 years earlier than this i.e Tubal-Cain fourth millennium B.C  I think it would be very helpful to researchers and students worldwide for the sake of intellectual honesty to be informed that there is written reference that far predates 2000 B.C.  All the references works given on the Iron Age page date from 1967 to 2009 and all are written works, thats a very narrow window of literature in the history of the written word. All I have done is contribute a very significant reference to Iron work that predates all these references written in the last 43yrs by a few thousand years!  Of interest last night I watched Neil Oliver on the BBC Iplayer History of Ancient Britain episode 3 cosmology, he had the Knowth Macehead found in Ireland and dated to 3000 B.C if you manage to watch the programme at 39'20`` he asserts that because metal tools are not used at this date the maker of this amazing find must have used sand or quartz and a wooden peg to drill a perfect hole through flint! Its purely my POV but look at the Knowth Macehead and draw your own conclusions, sand and a wooden peg or a metal tool?  The earliest reference to a Iron worker, Tubal-Cain, is very relevant for many who research all kinds of metal work and archeology.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubal-cain    `
