His name is Antoine Laovoisier...he was a french scientist who discovered many elements including Mercury...it doesn't really make sense because ancient civilizations discovered mercury way before because mercury is very shiny and appears in shiny globules in cinnabar which is another type of mineral so that might be why it was discovered so long ago and mercury was found in around 1488 B.C. that's all I have to say and I hope that is is adequate and answers your question...:)
