        Hey baby, the vikings used bones of dead animals in their weapons to make them stronger. Come on over and I’ll bone you like a dead animal and you can see how strong my dick is.

      She’s concerned because he also loves talking about Rome and 40k

        You need to be able to pick the recipe option then. If someone knows recipes from ancient Rome, they might just be a harmless history nerd. If someone knows recipes from WH40K, well, I don’t know what to say.

    Vikings also believed that drinking cod liver oil would make them stronger. Turns out, cod liver oil is high in vitamin D which mitigates seasonal depression which is kinda important in northern latitudes.

      Trial and error existed before science was a thing, even if medieval academics were idiots who thought seniority was more important than observations and the reasoning used to “explain” things was often as dumb as the reasoning in the OP.

      It’s how garlic and salt got a reputation of warding off evil spirits because food rotting seemed like it was caused by ghosts to people who had no idea microbes existed, and salt and garlic had anti-microbial properties, which reduced or slowed the occurrence of rot and/or mold.

      Of course, from there it got taken to ridiculous levels, like people thinking a ring of salt protects them from non-existent beings or garlic frightens off other non-existent beings. But it all started from noticing that meat lasted longer for those with good access to salt (or something along those lines).

    Is this actually true? Because all the YouTube videos I’ve seen of people trying to make iron in primitive ways have the issue of too much carbon in the iron. This causes the iron to be very brittle and hard to work. The trick about making good steel is to get just the right amount of carbon.

        You know you are in for a good time when you get to the chapter called “Sexual connotations”.

        I’m not an expert on the field, so I’ve read the paper, but am not qualified to draw conclusions from it. But as I read it, the focus is more on the role of ritual and religion in the making of the iron. And the transfer of knowledge through this process and hypothesize the addition of the burning of bone is actually beneficial.

        However they do not approach this from a material technology standpoint. So I would love for someone with knowledge on this point to chime in. It’s very interesting if the people back in the day knew how to make low carbon iron and the little bit of carbon they did add came from the burning of the bones. But as I see it the burning of the bones is more a ritual kind of thing and getting all of the carbon out of the iron is the harder thing to do, not putting the carbon in.

      Also remember that carbon is lost as the metal is worked, so the strength can be increased simply by working the metal longer. This is how wrought iron is produced, although wrought iron ends up having a much lower carbon content in the process of removing slag.

      You need >700C to decarburise iron you don’t need much for that but coal and a fan, i.e. a bloomery. Pretty much defines the beginning of the iron age. Getting very low-carbon iron is quite easy, you just need enough fuel and air, the trick is then adding the right amount of carbon back. Also, getting rid of impurities, slag inclusions, etc, long story short: Lots of hammering and folding different carbon grades together, though some work can be saved by building very large bloomeries and processing very large batches producing quite slag-free low-carbon iron which then can be case-hardened.

      The way out of that is crucible steel, melting your ingredients in an air-tight crucible, but that requires advanced furnace technology that somehow noone came up with before industrialisation, with the exception of India. The banding btw is due to alloy not production method (though you need to follow specific steps to bring out the banding).
