Chemistry

Summary
Details

During ancient times, alchemists worked in dark laboratories-enduring poverty, persecution, and even death. They worked hard to turn different elements into gold and to discover The Elixir of Life. In laboratories, they risked their lives to make gold if they could. About two thousand years ago, a group called the alchemists journeyed on a mysterious and dangerous quest. They even searched for divine wisdom and the secret of immortality. The quest of the alchemists was the search for pure perfection. They felt that substances, the mind, philosophies, religion, magic, and astrology were related to each other. They wanted to understand how they were connected to one another. It was not until the 1600s and 1700s that the field of alchemy was almost fading with new theories and laws, and the rise of modern chemistry came into existence. Twentieth-century science may have proved the alchemists' ancient claims to succeed in transmuting minute quantities of metals into gold. Explore the secrets and mystical sciences of alchemy.
