  I find it kind of interesting that there was a whole process/methodology behind it that modern society has forgotten.

    We have forgotten tons -- like how the Romans made ice in the desert, Greek fire and how to bend mother of pearl to clad statues -- yet imagine ourselves superior in every way.

      The Romans made ice in the desert by leaving a bucket of water out overnight where temperatures drop below freezing, which deserts do.
