Mercury has been found in Egyptian tombs dating to about 1500 B.C., and it was probably used for cosmetic and medicinal purposes even earlier. In about 350 B.C., the Greek philosopher and scientist Aristotle described how cinnabar ore was heated to extract mercury for religious ceremonies. The Romans used mercury for a variety of purposes and gave it the name hydrargyrum, meaning liquid silver, from which the chemical symbol for mercury, Hg, is derived.
