Description

This image illustrates the violence that ensues after the time of the Silver Age. The image demonstrates the Bronze Age and Iron Age, where humankind began to indulge in warfare and became fiercer than in previous ages. As shown in the image, there are soldiers battling one another, with one soldier depicted slain on the ground. There are massive fortifications in the background as their desires for bigger and stronger shelters grew. In the far background, there are ships illustrated on the water, as the people of the Bronze Age began cutting down trees in order to construct the ships. The image is to signify the changing ways of the world and the violence that will come from humankind.
