What I wish someone would do is to chisel with both copper and bronze and compare the differences. Mesopotamia had been using bronze for a thousand years before the OK which by that time the bronze age was well on its way. Its impossible the OK AE were not aware of bronze and given the fact "99.9%" of the copper they are claimed to have used to build these structures is missing from the archaeological record who is to say bronze was not utilized as well?
