Ancients Persians were first to utilize chemical warfare

If you watch "300" you would have already known this.

 

This makes me proud.

And 300 sucked.

 

Iran #1.

Hezar mashallah!

 

Does this really surprise anybody ?

 

I'm pretty sure the first instance of chemical warfare was some caveman farting on the face of some other caveman he had pinned down when fighting over a chick or food.

 

Yeah! First there was that battery thing, and now this.

 

I want to hear more about the guys with giant razor blades for arms.

 

Yes, the Baghdad, Iraq, Iran battery.

 

For a while there, I thought you meant robots...

 

That would be spelled automaton.

 

But back then Baghdad was part of the Persian Empire. Or was it Babylon? I'm not 100% sure.

 

Always seems like the findings come across as them scooping up some remains, knocking a little dirt off, eyeballing it for a bit and saying "Yep, you can just tell. Their chief export was spices, this was 20 years before the famine struck. This man was trained as a swordsman...."

 

lol. I was just messing with you guys. Alexander conquered the Persian empire a bit before the dating of the Baghdad battery, but who knows how long they'd been around. It's freaky that stuff like this existed... then was "re-discovered" much much later. Who knows what they were used for.

I think many believe the Ark of the Covenant told of in the Old Testament is believed by some to be some form of a capacitor.

As for the chemical warfare, I don't know if I'd glorify that, though...

 

I watched a show on this yesterday -- they all sorts of weird stuff they would throw at their enemies.

 

Thank you sir
