The Byzantine Flamethrower (Image found on Ancient History and Medieval Siege Warfare Scale Models)
      Ancient folks were very creative when it came to killing people.
     The idea of throwing flames as a war weapon is suposed to be thought by the first time during the Byzantine Era. It employed a device that appeared to be a hand-held pump that was capable of shooting fire. The weapon had a piston and siphon-hose, and once ignited, it could shoot fire to the victims. With this powerful weapon, it was possible to kill a whole army and ignite anything that the fire lands on.
