back in ancient Egypt there were alchemists who studied the begging of modern day chemistry and most people don't know that . once word spread to England is when things started getting interesting such as a alchemist who wrote a book on his journey for the elixir of life at the end of his journey he died but many belive he is still alive to this day . you can find his work in a museum in England . now in normal society people don't get how important alchemy is to modern science .
