The Alchemy Key.pdf - Veritas File System

alchemists’ experiments of trial, error and danger as misguided and even
pathetically laughable.
However, the Ouroborus has now come full circle. Alchemy is
itself the rose. While Pharaohs, kings and priests of ancient societies
embraced it as their Kingly Secret, now the modern Philosophers' Stone
has the potential to embrace our whole society. With enough
perseverance and a good laboratory, any of us can make a small quantity
of the Philosophers' Stone, be it by traditional wet alchemy, the high
technology method of Whitegold, the simple method of King Solomon or
the peroxide method of the mining industry.
Yet, this book leaves us with at least one important and
unavoidable question. All the evidence available to our archaeologists
suggests that ancient civilizations did not possess advanced science. We
must therefore ask how the ancients knew of such an important substance
as the Philosophers' Stone. Concrete and Egyptian blue were
rediscovered fifteen hundred years after they were lost. Why does the
Philosophers' Stone remain a mystery?
