Quicksilver is another name for the element Mercury, and it has been in use for various purposes both medicinal and industrial since as early as 1500BC. We know this as it has been found in the tomb of pharaohs dating from that time. It was also used in ancient China, Greece and Rome. It was thought in ancient times to be the primordial "First Matter" from which you can create any other metal, and this belief is at the core of the ancient practice of Alchemy.
The exact person that discovered it has been lost in time.
