The Chalybes (Χάλυβες, Χάλυβοι) (also called Khalib) were a tribe of Classical Antiquity credited with the invention of iron industry. Χάλυβς means "tempered iron, steel" They settled in north Anatolia, near the shores of the Black Sea, from the Halys to Pharnakeia and Trabzon in the east and as far as Armenia to the south. Adjacent to the Khalib on the east lived the related Khaldi/Kardu people. The Khalib and Khaldi are related to the Hattians and Urartu.
