Yep. Did this recently actually lol.

But also commonly known as a war thing, done to render the enemy's land infertile. Can't grow food for a while and stuff.

Neither of these things really make much sense in context, though.

    I remember hearing that the Sahara desert was created by Romans salting the earth.

    That can't possibly be true?

    Also I wonder how it is connected to Jesus saying 'you are the salt of the earth'. That seems like am entirely different thing, but then again maybe not?

    I feel like the most modern equivalent is Vietnam.
