It's natural gas now, but a few hundred years ago it was nitrates! In this Part 2 of the trilogy on @HowMineralsMadeCivilization, find out some of the lengths that Elizabeth I of England, Louis XIV of France, and other European monarchs would go to for the key ingredient in gunpowder. (Hint: Alchemy was the least crazy thing they tried.)
