So, what was the ancient Byzantine weapon Greek fire? The Byzantines called it Roman fire, sea fire, war fire or liquid fire. Military manuals and historical chronicles of the time are our only sources of information to solve this mystery of Greek fire We do know it was a vital weapon when the Byzantine Empire needed to defend itself against enemy conquests for hundreds of years. Siphons shot roaring flames that could not be put out by water on enemy ships, and was even used as medieval grenades! With such a crucial weapon for the Byzantine Empire which we still can not replicate today, will we ever discover the secret behind Greek fire, an unsolved mystery?

I think that they will never discover the formula for Greek fire because it's secrets lay buried with many different " medieval engineers". As you stated no one person knew the entire formula so they would not be tortured for the full way on how to make it.
Thank you for this great video!
