Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of the E. I. Du Pont De Nemours Powder Company: A Century of Success No one really knows when the making of gunpowder began. It may have been in China. It may have been in Arabia. It may have been in India. It may have been in Germany or England. Evidences of something like it are found in the oldest records of ancient Egypt. The mysteries of "Greek fire" are presumed to have been based upon it, and many of the spectacles of Imperial Rome are said to have owed much of their brilliant splendor to the flashes of pyrotechnics and the bursting of bombs which alone could have been created by substances analogous to powder. So, in the first place, the manufacture of gunpowder has behind it the venerableness of age, together with all its romance.
