Abstract

[The previous chapter discussed the Jade Age from an international perspective. This chapter will focus on research into the Jade Road at a worldwide level. It shall discuss the precious stone worship practiced by the Sumerian civilization and the impact this had on other civilizations, in turn revealing that precious stone worship was a universal phenomenon in early civilizations. The key issue which needs to be addressed further is how people on the threshold of civilization, whose society was built around knowing, worshipping and utilizing various precious stones, gradually learned that metal ores can be smelted and thus progressed from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age.]
