Thomsen, Christian Jurgensen, YOOR guhn suhn (1788-1865), was a Danish archaeologist. He was one of the first to demonstrate that the vast history of humankind, before written records began, could be divided into a Stone Age, a Bronze Age, and an Iron Age. His interest in bringing this understanding to the public led him to organize the world's first ethnographical museum, in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1845. Thomsen was born on Dec. 29, 1788, in Copenhagen and died there on May 21, 1865.
