But they were apparently not able to parlay their prowess in metals to build a civilization that would rival their neighbors.
Zerox was first to develop many core elements of both modern networking and the GUI computer screens for PCs, but could not manage to parlay it all into a big future for themselves.
Often it is not what you can do, but what you can do next using that which know how to do. Discovery and initial breakthrough into useful production is only the first step.
But they were MUSLIMS!!! Hate Hate hate. No matter what they were pagan unbelievers who deserve absolutely no credit for intellectual achievement... period...
The crusades come to mind in this...
Okay Poopular Mechanics, where in scripture is Edom derided in the manner you say?
I am seeing better things said about Edom than about most of the other people of the region in my Bible.
Nota Bene:
The use of BCE [Before Common Era] and CE [Common Era] is insidious Cultural Marxism in play; it is in itself propaganda.
Did the secular atheists who replaced BC [Before Christ] and AD [Anno Domini: In the Year of Our Lord] make any other changes to the global timeline? No. They stole it whole and renamed it. It is in absolute fact the same timeline.
They simply excised the raison d’etre for that timeline - just as they have done with Christmas Vacation, rendering it generic Holiday Vacation - without changing the actual vacation.
The monk, Dionysius Exiguus (Denis the Little), devised the timeline - using Roman Numerals, and without the use of the Zero - in response to a directive from Pope John I.
He attempted to determine the date of the birth of Jesus Christ, not for its own sake (since Christmas was not the main Christian celebration then), but in order then to make a calendar predicting future Easter dates for celebrating that, the chief holy day in the annual church calendar.
This is typical communism in action: Steal something, then remove all cultural or religious connotation, to make it appear “modern”: secular and atheist. (It is remarkably similar to what Muslims do when they conquer a nation; that is further proof that Marxists and Muslims share a totalitarian mindset, and a hatred for Christianity.)
It is intellectual theft. They did no work to devise this calendar, and they removed all reference to the reason for its being.
I am certainly not criticising you for posting such an article. I am, howver, suggesting that you and all stop viewing such encroachments upon First Amendment rights in the public sphere as merely benign and minor.
Were I to post such an article, I would append a note pointing this out.
No, this is not trivial. They will not rest until it becomes essentially illegal to even use BC or AD in any public capacity.
P.S.
AD goes before the date, not after, if one uses it: In the Year of Our Lord ####, not #### in the Year of Our Lord. One would not sing, “2525 in the Year.”
Edomites for old tech
Sodomites for new tech - maybe Tim Cook from Apple?
Actually, I think the Kingdom of Edom was after the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Herod the Great was an Edomite. Some of the greatest building took place during his reign such as the Second Temple, the port of Caesarea, numerous palaces and fortifications.
I call Karnak the Great all the time to predict FReepathons. He’s been right for twenty years.

A show on this dig on NG channel said this was the source of the “king Solomon’s Mines’ legend.
Copper mining is recorded in Scripture long before the appearance of Esau:
"And as for Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every craftsman in bronze [bronze = copper/tin] and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah." (Gen. 4:22).
FReegards!
