Unraveling the Mystery of the Medieval World's Terrifying Weapon.

Greek fire, a deadly weapon used by the Byzantine Empire in medieval times, was likely based on a crude or refined type of petroleum mixed with unknown ingredients. It was a closely guarded state secret, with only a few families knowing the formula.
