Discus the major changes that were brought by the introduction of iron technology and knowledge in Zimbabwe during the early iron age
Answers
Answer:
The Iron Age did not occur homogeneously around the world, as different people learned to smelt iron at different points in history related to their level of sophistication. For example, In Europe iron working became prevalent only in the 1700s of the common era. However, on the continent of Africa, particularly in East Africa, ironworking began in the 500s before the common era. The first groups of Africans who learned to smelt iron were the Bantu speaking peoples of southern Africa. They travelled throughout continent delivering their knowledge to others.
These early ironworkers also established kingdoms, as agriculture and animal domestication led to the establishment of civilizations. One of these kingdoms, of Bantu origination, was that of Great Zimbabwe.
