Fire grenades, containing remnants of sulphur and charcoal, 14th - 16th century AD, from the arsenal of the fort, in the Qal'at Al-Bahrain Site Museum, near Manama in Bahrain. These grenades were catapulted using a system of balancing poles and counterweights, crossbows, projected stones and cannonballs. String wound around their rims made them spin in the air. The museum was opened in 2008, displaying artefacts of the history and archaeology of the Qal'at al-Bahrain, or Bahrain Fort or Portuguese Fort, built 6th century AD, once the capital of the Dilmun Civilisation. Qal'at al-Bahrain is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
