History

Copper got its name from the Latin word cuprum, meaning “from Cyprus.” Despite its common uses in electrical wiring, copper is actually a rather rare element comprising only .007 percent of the earth’s crust. Copper has been around since the dawn of civilization, evidenced by the discovery of copper jewelry found in Iraq from 9000 B.C. It is considered humanity’s first metal showing up in ancient Sumeria and Egypt. The Egyptians were extremely skilled in working with copper, making everything from tools, cookware, and adornments such as headdresses and crowns. Copper plates were placed under the heads of the dead to assist them in the transition into the afterlife.
