1.Read the text So happened that once I came across a popular scientific book about metals, read it and got interested in metallurgy. I learned from the book that the ancient peoples in China, India, Egypt and Mesopotamia had used iron 4000-5000 years ago, at first for ornaments, even for drugs / лекарство /, and then for weapons and tools. I also learned that the most famous of all ancient furnaces for iron making were those used in Spain, they were called “Catalan” after the country where they were invented. The furnaces were low, crude and primitive and yet they were used for many centuries.
