Atlantis’ Prosperity: The island thrived with immense wealth, rare metals like orikhalkon (mountain-copper), elephants, and abundant resources, ruled by Atlas’ descendants for generations.
For because of their headship they had a large supply of imports from abroad, and the island itself furnished most of the requirements of daily life,--metals, to begin with, both the hard kind and the fusible kind, which are extracted by mining, and also that kind which is now known only by name but was more than a name then, there being mines of it in many places of the island,--I mean orikhalkon (mountain-copper), which was the most precious of the metals then known, except gold.
And they covered with brass, as though with plaster, all the circumference of the wall which surrounded the outermost circle; and that of the inner one they coated with tin; and that which encompassed the acropolis itself with orikhalkon (orichalc) (mountain-copper) which sparkled like fire.The royal palace within the acropolis was arranged in this manner.

Jon—that is, “Given”—was a sea-king, born at Alberga, who sailed [93]from the Flymeer with a fleet of 127 ships fitted out for a long voyage, and laden with amber, tin, copper, cloth, linen, felt, otter-skins, beaver and rabbit skins.

Electric Trams: In the copper mines near Lake Superior, Atlanteans use electric trams to transport people through a complex system of galleries and tunnels, showing their mastery of electric-powered transport for industrial purposes.
Copper Tempering: The Atlanteans possess an advanced method of tempering copper to create tools and weapons with a superior, durable edge that requires little maintenance.
Copper tempering in the context of the Atlanteans refers to a lost art of treating copper to enhance its hardness, durability, and ability to maintain a sharp edge, making it comparable to modern steel or other tempered metals.
Enhanced Durability: Atlanteans were able to temper copper so that it could maintain a sharp edge for extended periods of time, requiring very little sharpening or maintenance.
This is a significant improvement over the naturally softer, more malleable properties of untempered copper.
Tempered Copper Tools: The text mentions tools and instruments made from tempered copper, such as a knife-like tool given to Zailm during his visit to the copper mines.
Lost Knowledge: The Atlanteans’ method of copper tempering is described as a "lost art," implying that modern civilizations no longer possess this advanced metallurgical knowledge.
While modern copper is not typically used for edged tools because of its softness, the Atlanteans had discovered a way to significantly enhance its physical properties.
Comparison to Modern Metallurgy: In reality, copper is a soft metal that, when alloyed with other metals such as tin (to create bronze), gains hardness.
However, the Atlanteans seemed to have discovered a method to directly temper pure copper itself, which is different from typical alloying processes and suggests an advanced understanding of metallurgy and material science beyond what is currently known.
Copper Mines (Lake Superior Region): Copper mines located near present-day Lake Superior, used by the Atlanteans.
Still farther north than this, in the present "lake region," were large copper mines, whence we obtained much of our copper, and some silver and other metals.

The Bronze Age: Marked by the use of bronze (a blend of copper and tin) for tools and weapons, this period indicates a higher level of civilization and metallurgical skill.
Absence of a Copper Age in Europe: The natural progression would suggest an initial period where copper and tin were used separately before the discovery of bronze.
Evidence points to a Copper Age in America, particularly around Lake Superior, where ancient mines suggest extensive copper extraction long before the development of bronze.
This area is unique in having traditions and evidence of early copper tool manufacturing.
