The modern day pesticides are something that revolutionized the food industry.
    But in the early times, what did the humans use to kill insects and store the harvestes safely.

    This is what the Romans did.

    1. If the Roman empire could have developed steam power the industrial revolution could have happened nearly 2,000 years earlier then it eventually did.

      Just imagine how different the world would be today. Impossible to imagine really as it would have totally altered the course of history, probably everything would be different.

    2. Smart people back then and people still doubt that humans built the pyramids or that the Government is hiding Alien technology to build the next generation of aircraft. Or even worse, are the People who still believe that the earth is flat.

      I sailed the Atlantic with 3 friends. 23 days without seeing land. Not many days without seeing weevils in the flour. The designated cook said it was extra protein and you wouldn’t taste them in the bread. It was true, but the little black dots were off-putting.

    4. So when they opened the doors again wouldn’t new insects and rodents just walk in to find the food?

      I’d imagine you’d still be able to taste the burnt bitumen after this process. Asphalt flavored bread?

    6. What sort of weird ass ai animation was that. Some of that made zero sense and those nonsensical arrows floating around.

      These AI slop graphics are terrible at communicating the information presented 

    8. We still do this in the cannabis industry during early grow cycles to kill and prevent pest infestations
