Ancient peoples identified Mercury as a distinct celestial body due to its bright appearance and swift movement across the night sky. They observed it as both a morning and evening star, leading to its association with different deities in various cultures. Babylonian astronomers recorded its movements as early as the second millennium BCE, giving it the name "Nabu," after their god of writing and wisdom. Other civilizations, such as the Greeks and Romans, also recognized Mercury, attributing it to their own gods, Hermes and Mercury, respectively.

Mercury was found as a residue from gold and people started drinking it believing it was the "Elixir of Life" around the 20th century.

If not... TOO BAD! JKJKJK
