[QUOTE]Originally posted by Narmerthoth: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mindovermatter: [QUOTE][b] In his book on fireworks in ancient India, Haridas Mitra suggests that the Hindus had mastered the use of fire missiles by the fourth century BC. Flavius Philostratos, in his history of Apollonius of Tyana, mentioned that when Apollonius was travelling to India, he learned the real reason why Alexander the great desisted from attacking the Oxydrace: "These truly wise men, dwelt between the rivers Hypasis and the Ganges:...beloved by the Gods, (they) overthrew their enemies with tempest and thunderbolts shot from their walls." In the apocryphal letter that Alexander is said to have written to Aristotle, he describes the frightful dangers to which his army was exposed in India when the enemies hurled upon them flaming thunderbolts[/b][/QUOTE]I am too lazy to copy the other passages but all the information and everything is there in the book and other books like it. [/QB][/QUOTE]I think you are confused in the difference between a missile, which is a jet propelled rocket, and a cannon firing metal encased shells. They aren't the same. As far as the use of cannons, China had them first. India has a lot documented on their use of arms as well as airships, but at this stage of my discovery, they appear to be more myth than fact. The descriptions you provide of India raining thunderbolts and fire-bolts from a wall doesn't sound like missiles, and more like catapults firing incendiary loads which were very common for the period. The description doesn't mention any explosion, and there isn't any physical description of what these weapons looked like. List of Korean inventions Multiple rocket launcher: Hwacha is a Multiple rocket launcher which was a platform device on wheels that used gunpowder to fire fire arrows, a predecessor of the modern MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System). Armored warship: Turtle ships were large armored warships built during the Joseon dynasty from the early 15th century. Time bomb: The first time bomb called Pigyok Chinchollae (비격진천뢰;飛擊震天雷) was developed during the Imjin War (1592-1598) by a technician, Yi Chang-son (이장손;李長孫).[20][21] It was used to propel into enemy camps and formations by mortar and detonate after a preset interval. Naval Artillery: The world's first naval guns (cannons) were used by the Koreans to counter Japanese piracy during the Goryeo Dynasty in the 1370s Soft bullet-proof vest: Myeonje Baegab is a soft bullet-proof vest invented by Kim Gi-du and Gang Yun in the late 1860s in the Joseon Dynasty. Weather India or Korea first introduced these weapons to the world is unclear. What is clear is that they both had them well before Europe and today's European designed weapons are based on those ancient Korean designs. [/QB][/QUOTE]
