It is believed the egyptians (circa 3,000-2,700 b.c.) were the first to begin practical understanding of chemistry in it's broadest sense. With their basic understanding of manipulating materials they formed a world view of elemental design. For example, their religious dieties were called the Ogdoas (the eight). Each individual diety came together with the other 7 to rule the universe (much like hydrogen comes together with chlorine to burn holes in metal).

From there chemistry was taken through Greek, Arabic, and European Alchemies gaining momentum 1661 when Boyle released The Sceptical Chymist. This dialogue asserted that everything is composed of atoms and that reactions are based in how those atoms come together or release apart. In the 1770's Antoine Lavoisier began perfecting the methodology of labratory chemistry and testing of theorem. The European run culminated with the works of John Dalton and his atomic theory.
