sophia-epistemia replies:
it's made of wood because all the bronze was used to make the age, not the ships. obviously

'well duh' gif from American Psycho
my favorite bronze age ship is Gilgamesh x Enkidu
Gay and real
That's less of a ship and more of a "it's stated in the story itself"
I mean, personally I don't love any of my bros like I would my wife.... That's just me, but you do you.
what do you mean that you don't brolove your bros and have bromariage with them and live a happy brolife
Darmok and Jalad, on the ocean.
In my town in Mexico, there a street named "Calle Once" (Eleventh St.) that crosses an avenue and turns into "Calle Bronce" (Bronze St.).
calle once,... not gonna calle twice
Bronze age defined weapons, fyi. Not sure if ships used nails then, but wood joinery and wood was an allowed building material.
Joke explainer here all week.
Pegged mortise and tenion caulked with bitumen from surface oil/tar.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenician_joint used well into the iron age
Earlier were held together by rope like the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewn_boat or the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lashed-lug_boat and caulked with vegetation. They were essentially "let's take a raft and engineer it into a boat."
Key point for both is you usually needed bronze tools to work wood like this. You could plane with stone axes easily enough to make a canoe but you couldn't really make a mortise and tenion and sewing a boat together was damn hard with stone and bone tools(though there were stone bow drills with flint bits and some pretty damn impressive users, it's how they made strung beads for early trade in the neolithic and late mesolithic).
I half expected Saddam Hussein to be hiding in the red marked mortise
smh the weapons were made of sword not bronze
The sea people sunk it
Sea people
Look inside
Bones
Is there a sign up sheet to join the Sea People? I thinknI want to be a mysterious harbinger of destruction.
I'm afraid you're too late, the casting phase is over
I hear they're making a comeback tour sometime soon.
I wish you all the best!
I still remember that age when I was a bronze atomic particle, the atomic particles just won't be still even in human form!
Obviously the bronze just sunk while the wood floated.
Makes cents
