Is it possible the Arabs used Greek Fire?
#3
Thanks for that info, Sean. I'll look up David Niccole. Yes, I believe the Arabic word is nafta or something similar. I'm rather surprised they had it so early on. That particular attack on Constantinople was carried out in the very early years of the Umayyad dynasty.
