Alchemy was a skill developed by the Egyptians as they learned to do metallergy and work with chemicals. Through experimentation, and an obsession with gold being the 'perfect metal', they were able to make elixirs. Search the internet and you will find a few websites with photos of alchemy work. I have over 100 photos on my website, but I can't post it here or this will be removed as 'spam'.
