"Bat Bombs"
Bat bombs were an experimental World War II weapon developed by the United States. The bomb consisted of a bomb-shaped casing with numerous compartments, each containing a Mexican Free-tailed Bat with a small timed incendiary bomb attached. Dropped from a bomber at dawn, the casings would deploy a parachute in mid-flight and open to release the bats which would then roost in eaves and attics. The incendiaries would start fires in inaccessible places in the largely wood and paper construction of the Japanese cities that were the weapon's intended target.

I'm guessing using google ruins it? lol

The hard part Bez, is finding a question that Google can't find to easily.
And/or wording it vaguely

You got it Mando

Project X-Ray .The connection is Louis Fieser ,who invented Napalm. During WWII He was approached by the US government to come up with a light version, maximum 1oz, of Napalm that could be starpped to bats & set off by a timer

When they tested the bat bombs , it set fire to the total complex, so needless to say the idea worked.The only reason it was not used is the fact that the atom bomb was completed.

Tradition has it that the first recorded archaeological dig was operated by Nabonidus, the last king of Babylon who ruled between 555-539 BC. Nabonidus' contribution to the science of the past is the unearthing of the foundation stone of a building dedicated to Naram-Sin, the grandson of Sargon.

Hannu
The first voyage to the Ophir and the land of Punt took place under Sankh-ka-ra. According to the words of the rock inscription, everything needful was wisely prepared for the expedition, for which Pharaoh chose as leader and guide the noble Hannu, who gives us the following account of his voyage: [3]

I was sent to conduct ships to the land of Punt, to fetch for Pharaoh sweet-smelling spices, which the princes of the red land collect out of fear and dread, such as he inspires in all nations. And I started from the city of Coptos.And his Holiness gave the command that the armed men, who were to accompany me, should be from the south-country of the Thebai'd.' [3]
