That was most likely molten paraffin(wax) heated to the point of ignition, then doused in water to recreate a greek fire composition, correct?(:

I wonder if Greek fire could still be a formidable weapon today, but we don't know what the ingredients are so oh well.

@davanth777 Well actually Kallinikos was a Greek Christian from Syria(Greek immigrant).

Greek fire (also called Byzantine fire, wildfire and liquid fire, Greek Υγρό Πυρ, igró pir) was a weapon used by the Byzantine Empire, said to have been invented by a Syrian Christian refugee named Kallinikos (Callinicus) of Heliopolis (Syria), probably about 673.
The ingredients, process of manufacture and usage were a very carefully guarded military secret, so secret it remains a source of speculation to this day. Speculations include:
* naptha, niter, sulfur
* petroleum, quicklime, sulfur
