Question:did zacharia razi from persia really discover medicinal alcohol


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: did zacharia razi from persia really discover medicinal alcohol

Yes and yes!

Yes, Omar Khayam was a Persian. Persia is now known as Iran, so he would be considered Iranian. Sorry, I don't know the answer to the second question, as I have never heard of him.

Well, alcohol had been around for a very long time before 'Persia' was invented, and men being men, I'm sure it had been rationalized to the wives as 'medicinal' for about that long, so I'd have to say "probably not" to your second question.
