Oh btw, some interesting claims are made in this vid about Iron production in the region going back 3000.B.C need to track down verification of that particular claim.

Yeah, things a gotta advance beyond Ms Diop-Maes work. Still hasta meet rigid standards but not impossible ones using 'Sidi & Babs' metallurgies as metrestick. Ours is first or at worst neck n neck. Our techniques are different, original. We went straight to sintering iron crystals. They hadda go thru copper and bronze and doo. They couldn't sinter until semi-conductor technology. Thx 4/t vid. It's on my wknd watch list. |
