The Man Who Took The Greatest Alchemy Secret Of All Time To His Grave
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - Many events that took place in Medieval Europe were interesting because this was a time when magic and science were coming together, although many couldn’t distinguish the differences between them. Most Medieval people believed in the power of magic, but the emergence of science was slowly replacing and explaining the unexplainable.
The quest to find a universal elixir goes far back in time. Practiced throughout Europe, Africa, and Asia, alchemy originated more than 2000 years ago in Hellenic Egypt. Alchemy was a combination of Greek philosophy, Egyptian technology, and the mysticism of Middle Eastern religions.
In the 12th century, scholars translated Arabic works into Latin, and alchemy was revived in Medieval Europe. Many started to conduct experiments, and everyone was eager to create the elixir of immortality or transmute common substances into gold.
The desire to become famous attracted many swindlers who claimed they could create gold using any earthly material. Many pseudo-alchemists were exposed as fraudsters, but a group of more serious scientists also achieved more than most realized.
Were alchemists really able to transmute lead into gold? Most will say it was impossible, but there is one particular incident that has never been explained. Has the greatest alchemy secret of all time been lost forever?
In Europe, there was a very intelligent medieval alchemist who shunned publicity. Unlike those who sought fame, he was a person who enjoyed working alone and not discussing his achievements. When the outside world learned about his incredible alchemical accomplishments, men of science became curious and wanted to learn more about the occult knowledge he possessed but was unwilling to share.
Today's article dealing with secret knowledge concerns an intriguing alchemist visited by a respected and skeptical scientist. After observing the demonstration in person, the scientist was forced to conclude that the secretive alchemist could transmute base metal into gold. The skeptic accepted the evidence and documented what he had witnessed. Later something terrible happened.
