Who lit the first match?
It doesn’t matter. Long before gun powder was used in a book of matches, some smart human struck a light with flint. Shortly after, (short in the big picture of time) a bored old man (probably like, 27yrs old) got angry, threw a rock and sparks flew. His day turned around at that point when, a light-bulb idea burst into his mind… or whatever analogy they used 10, 000 years ago before idea’s were light-bulbs, and that smart guy found a way to direct sparks to tinder!
The rest is history! We now have the ferrocerium rod, other wise known as, the ferro rod!
