I can tell you this much from "Our Oriental Heritage" by Will Durant. Copper sheets that were made into bangles and weapons were first made in the Eastern Mediterranean in about 3500 B.C.E. Many symbols and designs and some were pictographs while others were rune like that were pressed into thin sheets via what appears to be fingernails.
