intro: when was the bronze age in africa?
at the time period when other places had a bronze age much of africa CONTINUED the stone age using stone tools.
similarly the "start of writing" differs in different regions. we know wrote at certain times in certain areas but doubt if they wrote before?
the history books have bad order so one historian tried to organize and despite improving even his has a bad order and vague words so somebody me needs to fix it.
the earliest writing was the nile civilization. they started writing we know from near 3000 bc

the earliest writing was the nile civilization. they started writing we know from near 3000 bc
writing nile 3150 b.c.
so before mesopotamia! as we now know in later studies that replaced outdated studies.
the age before writing was stone there so we begin with the nile valley. also order of alphabet africa before asia but more importantly writing was near 3000 bc so before mes' 2850 bc.
AFRICA
before writing, the era is called stone age kuz humans "did differ from animals" and used stone tools. studying skeletons revealed that our ancient ancestors were "human" called homo and differed from apes called pithicus for distinction. the researchers tried to distinguish and break the stone era into sub-periods: like if the stone was polished or if the pottery was painted but i will simplify eras kuz all used stone until metal.
some physical differences between pithicaus ape and human are "walking erect" and larger frontal brain section. the part about personality and emotion made famous in the phrase lobotomy.
in nile valley started writing near 3150 bc and until then stone tools until bronz -3150. so there -3000 starts "era of history" p.22 which is defined by writing. the same family continued ruling inheriting from king called dynasty.
in the rest of that continent, the stone age continued later than other places: east: stone tools continued until iron in 300 a.d, so "no bronze age p.23". south: also stone until iron age. mostly did not even polish the stone tools found only rare. west central: stone continued longer until iron which was later there than other parts [>300]. in northwest stone until punic iron age in first mil' [-800v].
next era: writing -3000 until -333
from start of writing until greek conquest of nile valley.
in -3000 two kingdoms ruled the nile valley. the dynasty started in -2850 after conquering north. the dynasty ruled egypt from the north coast of nile valley up hills southward as far as the first major steep waterfall around 550 miles south from the north coast. a river trip from there would be 750 miles kuz turning. egypt was around two miles wide in a strip along river. the nile usualy starts rising in june [abib in ancient egyptian and bible] coinciding with the "end may " harvest.
around -2500 developed different styles of writing. p.36 dynasties ruled egypt and recorded who was king and more from 3000 until 2615.
MESOPOTAMIA until -2850
meanwhile in mesopotamia meaning between rivers the stone age ended with writing near -2850. painted pottery near -5000. a few hundred years later the style spread southward so near -4500 painted pottery, not only baked clay for containers but painted for decoration. later, had cyclander seals and "the beginning of" writing recorded history "near -2850" p.16, therefore after egypt writing. bronz?
JORDAN
jordan river region stone age until -3000 bronz. unknown when start bronz in nile probly same as east coast: none. as above writing started over a hundred year LATER p.16.
pottery -5500. p.17
arabia unknown until -900 except bahren isle near -1200.
meso-mari: the land between the seas we call "black and med" pottery -7000. stone until bronz -2600 later there than jordan river region. but before bronz by caspian sea -2200. here earliest writing -1900 during hiti kingdom.
south from caspian: stone til bronz 3 millenium. too coarse. pottery -6000.
indus valley stone til bronz -2100. writing there started -1100 later and iron also later.
central india peninsula stone til -1200.
yellow valley stone til -1400 bronz n wrote. east coast stone til bronz -250 later than nan rr -500. japan started iron +200much after west.
HISTORY
writing in mesopotamia as above. many city kingdoms. 4 millenium "drained marsh" into irrigation for city [new meaning to peleg not merely water canal but to drain. see p.27]
sumer? see other page. had a unique language. suspicious. -2850 sumer kingdom. akad -2360 til -2180. amorite -1850 came east "from west" and established babylon and spread amorite rule -1750. follwed by mitani -1400. 28b
