    The comparison was iron and bronze. Not steel and bronze.

      There was never a time when iron was used in a major way until they figured out how to make steel. So technically it was always the steel age, not the iron age.

      Steel, I believe, needs much higher temperatures and purified inputs.

            But not in the context of a comparison with bronze. Nobody made the claim that Bronze was as strong as Steel.
