Ancient Methods of Heating and Lighting Through History
The article traces early fire use from a carved stick in dry wood to hearth fires and shell lamps. It notes bronze lamps in Cyprus about 4000 years old, Homeric use of braziers, open roofs, cressets, Phoenician candles around 1000 B C, and a shift to oil lamps in Europe after 400 B C. Friction matches appeared in 1827, costing half a crown, followed by Swedish safety matches about fifty years ago.
