Greek Fire
[edit]There is a nice description of how Calcium Phosphide is made in the Greek Fire article. Can that be placed here instead?

The description of Greek Fire and calcium phosphide is cited for The New Penguin Atlas of Medieval History by McEvedy. I went through the work of borrowing this book (1992) from the Internet Archive precisely because I wanted to read more about this (and the claim that calcium phosphide can be made by boiling bones in urine in a closed vessel). However, "Greek Fire" appears only once in the entire book, and the words "urine" and "calcium" don't appear at all. CSJordan (talk) 01:45, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
