This isn't the first time nanotechnology has been connected with an ancient civilization.[1]

It's always interesting to find out which areas ancient civilizations were truly advanced in. We're still not 100% sure how Greek fire was made.

I'm sure that compared to modern napalm, the original manufacturing process must have been pretty Byzantine.
