guy Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) Quote “Greek fire was an incendiary weapon invented by the Byzantine Empire during the 7th century AD, that gave the Byzantines a technological advantage during naval and land battles. All the information we have on Greek fire comes from references in Byzantine military manuals, and a number of secondary historical sources and contemporary chroniclers of the period, who referred to the substance as “sea fire”, “Roman fire”, “liquid fire”, “sticky fire” or “manufactured fire”, that was inextinguishable by water, with some sources suggesting that water actually intensified the flames. “ https://www.heritagedaily.com/2021/06/the-mystery-of-greek-fire/139514?amp Edited October 11, 2021 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
