In 200 BC , some people in China believed that a tribe of scary Bigfoot esque mountain men lurked in the foothills.

They realized that heating bamboo shoots caused air pockets in the plant to burst, creating a loud popping noise.

800 years later , Chinese muggles set out on a quest for immortality, and while they didn't find the elixir of life, these alchemists ended up creating the world's first batch of gunpowder.
