I had an idea about gunpowder, but I'm not sure. It doesn't seem to fit very well.

It seems unlikely to me, considering that eclipses are quite noticeable and not the rarest of events. Although, of course, movies often feature all sorts of nonsense.
At a certain point on the Earth's surface, eclipses in a large phase occur relatively rarely, and total solar eclipses are even rarer. For example, in Moscow from the 11th to the 18th century, 159 solar eclipses with a phase greater than 0.5 could be observed, of which only 3 were total (August 11, 1124, March 20, 1140, and June 7, 1415)...
Just passing by.

I didn't know that they were rare in some places. I'll keep that in mind. Nevertheless, you also quoted information about total eclipses for some reason, even though the discussion was about eclipses in general.

The thing is, partial solar eclipses aren't very impressive. Maybe it's just me, as a person from the 21st century, but the fact that the sun shines a little dimmer is hardly noticeable for indigenous people who are busy trying to survive. But a total solar eclipse is a cool thing in theory, at least, because day turns into night, and you can even see the stars, and it could really shock an ancient person and make them fall to the ground.
I'm just describing my train of thought.

Solar eclipses are frequently mentioned in ancient sources. An even greater number of dated descriptions can be found in Western European medieval chronicles and annals. For example, a solar eclipse is mentioned in the Annals of Saint Maximinus of Trier: “In 538, on February 16, a solar eclipse occurred from the first to the third hour”[4]. A large number of descriptions of solar eclipses from ancient times can also be found in the chronicles of East Asia, primarily in the Dynastic Histories of China, in Arabic chronicles, and in Russian chronicles.

Most partial eclipses are difficult to see if you don't know when and where to look. I have a little experience with that, though.

So far, everything is off, but some of you have started thinking in the right direction... Here's a hint: try not to overthink, pay attention to the wording of the question, and imagine the situation.
