"When it comes to the natural elements, wind’s role in shaping our world can be
overlooked. The worship of the sun in ancient cultures such as Egypt is common
knowledge, and ancient gods such as the Roman Vulcan deify volcanoes and fire.
But the work of wind – invisible to the naked eye – often goes unnoticed. Yet,
for millennia, this unseen force has critically shaped aspects of life as
varied as religion, trade, warfare, culture, science and more.
Mysterious and magical, wind has been worshipped, decided the outcome of
innumerable military battles and powered the processes of scientific
exploration."
