'Very rare' Bronze Age arrow with quartzite tip uncovered from melting ice after 3,000 years

3000 years ago!

Around 3000 years ago, the world was in the Early to Middle Bronze Age[1]. Here are some key points about this period:

• The Minoan Civilization was founded in Europe[1].
• The Indus Valley civilization developed a state society in what is now Northwest India and Pakistan[1].
• World population growth relaxed after the burst due to the Neolithic Revolution. World population was largely stable, at roughly 60 million, with a slow overall growth rate at roughly 0.03% p.a. [1].
• In Ancient Egypt, the Early Dynastic Period was followed by the Old Kingdom[1].
• In Mesopotamia, the Early Dynastic Period was followed by the Akkadian Empire[1].
• The Bronze Age began in the Ancient Near East roughly between 3000 BC and 2500 BC[1].
