Ancient scholar who tried to convert other heavy metals into gold?
The transmutation of metals into gold has long been called "alchemy." One particularly famous alchemist, Abu Musa Jabir Ibn Hayyan, otherwise known as Geber, was an Arabian alchemist who experimented heavily with sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, both of which he uncovered whilst distilling salts.

Because nobody could understand his crazed antics, his name became the root for the word "gibberish."
