Keywords:
The Taittiriya Samhita, The AtharvavedaAbstract
Discovery of the metals and the means of working them are the two major developments in the history of human civilization. The names generally given to the three prehistoric periods of man’s life on the earth- the Stone, the Bronze and the iron age imply the vast importance of the progressive steps from the flint knife to the bronze celt and lastly to the keen-edged elastic iron weapon or tool.
