Who discovered brass and when was it first mentioned in the Bible?

Answer 1

A:Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. The earliest known evidence of its use comes from China over six thousand years ago, but it was probably already in use much earlier. Copper smelting dates back to more than 11,000 years ago.

Genesis 4:22" "And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah." This places the first biblical reference to brass within a thousand years of creation, or around five thousand years ago.
