Hello Mailing Group,

I am in the process of improving the wikipedia article on anaerobic
digestion. I have improved it enough for it now to be listed as a good
article and am working towards getting it listed as a featured article.
One question that has been raised relates to the widely cited example of
biogas being used to heat bath water in Assyria in the 10th century BC.
I cannot however find the original citation for this or how is was used.
Does anyone know how the Assyrians we said to have capture and utilise
biogas? I cannot find the original source of this information anywhere.

The editorial peer review comments can be seen here:

I would appreciate any support in improving the article which is located
here, technical peer reviewing would also be welcome.
