Alchemy originated in ancient Egypt
Alchemy originated in ancient Egypt and was practiced from around the 3rd century BC to the 6th century AD. The Egyptians sought to turn base metals into gold and find an elixir of immortality.
Egyptian alchemy was influenced by Greek philosophers such as Democritus and the Hermetic arts which mixed philosophy, mysticism and magic.
Important Egyptian alchemical texts are the Stockholm Papyrus and Leyden Papyrus X which provide recipes and procedures for dyeing and metalworking.
Egyptian alchemists like Zosimos of Panopolis advanced equipment like the kerotakis which was an intricate distillation apparatus.
The Egyptians saw alchemy as a sacred art governed by the gods and used elaborate symbolic imagery of gods, planets, metals in their alchemical works.
Following the Islamic conquest of Egypt in the 7th century CE, alchemy continued under Arabic influence and translated Greek and Egyptian alchemical manuscripts.
