Probably the technology to make it was lost at some point. It was used to a small extent in the siege of Konstantinople in 1453 I think, so the Byzantines must have had some in stock.. It's all a mess really, who can know for certain? Even it's properties are hard to believe 100%
>It burned on water, and, according to some interpretations, was ignited by water. In addition, as numerous writers testify, it could be extinguished only by a few substances, such as sand (which deprived it of oxygen), strong vinegar, or old urine, presumably by some sort of chemical reaction.[38][39][40]
The discharge of Greek fire was accompanied by "thunder" and "much smoke".[38][39][42]
What sort of burning liquid, would produce a blast and smoke?
