A proposito di questo titolo
Greek Fire was not a myth.For nearly four centuries, the Byzantine Empire used a weapon that burned on water, resisted extinguishing, and decided naval battles before they began. Then it vanished.This video examines what Greek Fire actually was, how it worked, and why the knowledge behind it disappeared completely—despite surviving written records, repeated use, and modern scientific analysis.Rather than chasing speculation or fantasy, this essay focuses on what the historical sources tell us, how the system behind Greek Fire functioned, and why some forms of knowledge cannot be recovered once the chain of transmission breaks.This is a slow, narration-driven exploration of lost technology, institutional secrecy, and the quiet ways history forgets what it once depended on.
