Absolutely correct but Afghanistan sounds more exotic. Wasn’t Sudetenland the oldest currently known site? Tin is rare but not rare enough to require trade routes to Central Asia. Arsenic is also used in bronze but the life span of the smelters wasn’t too good.
Acck. I really ought to look things up before posting. Turns out Afghanistan and Cornwall are very nearly identically far from Crete, about 4000 km. It’s about 2500 km to the Ore Mountains. To Galicia you’re back to that 4000 km.
I suspect tin was precious enough that the major civilizations in the Middle East used up any that reached them from Afghanistan rather than shipping it on to Crete.
