And you continue to hold on to the old "information", although as it turns out that often "It’s still all up in the air" |

After so many years, just an offer of a pleasant read.
https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.ne...OHF5GGSLRBV4ZA If anybody knows all that had ever been written about wootz and is capable of understanding the intricacies of the topic,- it is unquestionably Ann Feuerbach. A very short, understandable article about history of wootz research, the search for its composition ( alloy of iron and carbon) that was known at least 20 years before Anosov who is customarily credited for it, and other piquant and not well-known details, areas of uncertainty etc, - in short: read it! I enjoyed it enormously, and so will you. |

Sorry Ariel. Just reports a string of "Access denied." That link is a total dud for me.

I checked it after posting it here and it worked. Now it is “ access denied”:-(((
Internet is playing nasty games. Try go directly to Ann Feuerbach “Crucible Damascus Steel: a fascination for almost 2,000 years” |
