@COASTTOCOASTAMOFFICIAL The Legend of the Philosopher's Stone… Alchemy’s Origins - Tobias Churton is an expert on the Books of Enoch and Jewish mysticism and Christianity. In the latter half, he shared his latest work on the practice of alchemy and its origins, the legend of the Philosopher's Stone, and the original purpose of the “Royal Art.“ Dating back to the 3rd-4th centuries in Egypt in places like Panopolis, the original alchemists could be considered metallurgical chemists, and many of them were women, he noted. Much of the work in this era had to do with subjecting substances to heat and practical applications like creating dyes that could make objects look like gold, silver, or gemstones. The idea of turning lead into gold was actually not what alchemists were doing; they were just changing the color, Churton revealed.
