Video: The Alchemist Who Discovered Immortality: Nicolas Flamel

[Paul Ferguson]

"In 1382, a Parisian scribe named Nicolas Flamel claimed he turned mercury into gold. He recorded the exact date and time: January 17th, at noon. Three months later, he did it again. And suddenly, this middle-class bookseller became mysteriously wealthy—so wealthy that he built hospitals, funded churches, and constructed houses that still stand in Paris today. His house at 51 Rue de Montmorency is the oldest in Paris, covered in alchemical symbols no one has decoded. His grave was found empty centuries after his death. And for over 600 years, people have reported seeing him alive—in Paris, in India, at the opera in 1761, always the same age."
