Rise of Great Religions:
Bronze Age showed further refinements in intellectual developments. The Indus Valley civilization is a unique
example of this. Further we all know about the high intellect of Vedas and the Upanishads. The great text not only
deals with day to day matters of life but delve into the mysteries of life and other philosophical aspects.
They describe in great detail the religious doctrines and life of people.
Gautama Buddha came out with his preachings and attained nirvana around 500 B.C.
Thus we see a tendency in the Iron Age towards differentiation in the religious traditions of the Bronze Age Priest.
Soon both in Greece and India, philosophy took a new turn and began to look at nature as comprising several
constituent parts. This gave rise to the theory of Atoms in Greece and Anu in India.
