who discovered copper?

Answer 1

Archaeological evidence suggests that people have been using copper for at least 11,000 years. Relatively easy to mine and refine, people discovered methods for extracting copper from its ores at least 7,000 years ago. The Roman Empire obtained most of its copper from the island of Cyprus, which is where copper's name originated. Today, copper is primarily obtained from the ores cuprite (CuO2), tenorite (CuO), malachite (CuO3·Cu(OH)2), chalcocite (Cu2S), covellite (CuS) and bornite (Cu6FeS4). Large deposits of copper ore are located in the United States, Chile, Zambia, Zaire, Peru and Canada.

Nobody knows who first discovered it.

Answer 2

Copper was discovered in prehistoric times, long before writing was invented. No body's even sure which ancient civilization was actually the first to use it. When any of several copper ores are used to line a fire pit, nuggets of metallic copper can sometimes be found in the bottom of the pit, after the fire is out. It's likely many civilizations independently discovered copper for themselves.
