these are cool! fascinating how such high profile stuff can just get LOST. Particularly secrets of production like damascus steel and greek fire. I'm reminded of how the Ancient Romans had concrete, but they took it to the grave, and then it took centures to be rediscovered.
I've wanted the secret to how to make Greek fire since I was about 8. STOP KEEPING ME WAITING SCIENCE.
The greeks understood steam power too. Imagine an alternate universe where the industrial revolution happened in ancient athens. Crazy huh?
But this stuff is cool kai ive never even heard of some of them.
look at the wiki entry for damascus. it's pretty interesting....
also, Cram, i just looked at your avatar and post like a stereoscopic image and it was kinda creepy....

Is Damascus steel really lost?
I mean, is there any effective difference between the damascus steel of old and what is called damascus steel today?
That's the sort of thing modern blacksmiths can talk about
endlessly. The guys who taught me what little I know about it will mostly tell you that anything called 'damascus steel' today is a reconstruction of what we think they had back then, and there's a lot of people who think they have what ought to be considered 'real' damascus.
It's sort of a muddled area where a lot of people think what you just said is totally valid: what we can make today using elaborate pattern-welding is probably close enough to be considered damascus steel. Then there's always the pedantic asshats who don't think it counts unless we really figure out the exact methods they used way back then.
And then there's the spags who are only really interested in marketing their product as being "Authentic, don't be fooled by imitators!"
