A Sweet Evidence of the Authenticity of the Bible 1/03/2015 The Bible 33 Comments



The Polynesians were thought to be the first to discover the use and manufacturing of sugar and spread it to India. As early as 510 B.C., emperor Darius of Persia invaded India where he found “the reed which gives honey without bees.” The Arabs, who invaded Persia in 642 A.D., have learned how sugar was made and have expanded sugar productions in other lands. Sugar, practically, had affected the political and economic landscape of the entire globe. HISTORY FOLLOWS.
