    Accuracy and some proof reading would be nice. Mercury shown as 750BC, text underneath states “known to Chinese and Indians before 2000BC. Similarly iron has various dates in textual description to that in the graphic. Also “Hattites” (The Hattites discovered iron …) are in reality the “Hittites”. Still an intersting infigraphic.
