Berggren - Homo Faber or Homo Symbolicus - Transoxiana 8 Homo Faber or Homo Symbolicus? The Fascination with Copper in the sixth millennium Abstract: The question asked is why beginning in the sixth millennium we find such a fascination with copper jewelry and small axes considering that copper tools are less efficient than those made of stone.

Copper objects mirror light, the smith being the earliest alchemist transforming the Stone into light.
