Inverted pyramids

This can be thought of as layering inverted pyramids where the reader is first shown the lead section for a topic, and within its article any section may have a {{Main|<subpage name>}} hatnote or similar link to a full article about the subtopic summarized in that section. For example,

Yosemite National Park#History and History of the Yosemite area

Internal_combustion_engine#History (84kbyte) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_internal_combustion_engine

are couples of such related featured articles. Thus, by navigational choices, several different types of readers each get the amount of details they want.

Weapons of the age of Bronze, Romania

The different types of bladed weapons (swords, dress-swords, sabers, rapiers, foils, machetes, daggers, knives, arrowheads, etc..) have been of great importance throughout history. In addition to its use for fighting, or in wars, the bladed weapons have been the object of special considerations forming part of funerary rituals, mythology and other ancestral traditions.

The manufacture of a bladed weapon (bronze or iron alloys) of a certain quality requires a certain degree of mastery in metallurgy (obtaining metals and alloys from the minerals of the mines), forming techniques and forging) and heat treatments. Without forgetting the artistic aspects or the crafts related to the complements (pods, belts, shawls, knobs, decoration, etc...).

Chronology details

editar

The present chronology it's a compilation that includes diverse and relatively uneven documents about different families of bladed weapons: swords, dress-swords, sabers, rapiers, foils, machetes, daggers, knives, arrowheads, etc..., with the sword references being the most numerous but not the unique included among the other listed references of the rest of bladed weapons. The reason to group them into a single list responds to a goal for simplification, instead of making a different chronology article for each type of bladed weapon.

Chronology (until the Christian Era)

Bronze Swords

editar
 
Swords found next to Nebra sky disk

The first bronze swords with a length equal to or greater than 60 cm date from the 17th century BC in regions of the Black Sea and the Aegean Sea. They emerged as an evolution of shorter weapons of the type of the daggers or daggers. To make a sword useful in combat, you must have a correct alloy, give it the right shape and apply the necessary thermal (and finishing) treatments. The longer a sword, the stresses (bending and buckling) are more important. What is needed is a weapon that is hard enough (to cut), fairly flexible (without being fragile) and quite tenacious enough to withstand the blows in the fights.

The manufacturing process is summarized as follows: The bronze swords were cast into moulds, heated to a certain temperature and allowed to cool slowly. Finally they cold hammered (hitting them with a hammer on a type of anvil) to increase its hardness.

  • c.1275 BC. Assyrian sword, with inscriptions.[1]​
  • c.650 BC. According to Pausanias, Theodore of Samos invented the casting of bronze objects.[2]​
