Sometime almost 2000 years ago, a Chinese alchemist experimenting with three different ingredients discovered something astonishing.

When the ingredients were subjected to a flame, they didn’t just burn, there was a bang. 

Over the course of centuries, this discovery spread around the world and dramatically shaped world history. 

Learn more about gunpowder, how it was invented and how it spread around the world, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
