Telecurso 2000 Study Guide Materials: http://bmalbert.yolasite.com/resource... Copper was the first metal used by man. History books teach us that 4,000 years before Christ, man was already conducting his first experiments with this metal. To cite just one book that everyone knows, at least by name, the Bible already mentions copper. Don't you believe it? Then, let's show you the passage. It refers to God's description of the Promised Land, when He speaks of all the good things that this land can provide: water, grains, fruits. And at a certain point, He says: "... a land where you will eat bread without scarcity - in it, nothing will be lacking! A land whose stones are iron and from whose mountains you will extract copper." (Deuteronomy 8, 9) Even this book, so important and sacred to so many people, places metals in a prominent position. Notice that, alongside bread, essential to our survival, are iron and copper. Can you imagine why? Well, back then, as today, it wasn't enough to master the technology of the material, that is, to know how to obtain it and transform it into weapons, objects, and tools. It was very important to possess the mineral reserves that provided the raw material for obtaining the material. Dominating a territory that possessed this type of wealth was, therefore, having power. They even say that the famous mines of King Solomon, an important and powerful king also mentioned in the Bible, were mines of... copper!
