There are legends about immortal people who were seen in different centuries and they remained the same, as if they had not aged even a year. Perhaps these people exist in our time, already under different names.
APOLLONIUS OF TIAN
Apollonius of Tyana is the same age as Jesus Christ, born three years before the new era. He visited many countries of the ancient world, studied the secrets of the priests of Ancient India and Babylon, his contemporaries attributed many miracles to him.
Having survived ten emperors, at the age of 70, Apollonius of Tyana returned to Rome, where, by order of the emperor Domitian, he was put on trial on charges of witchcraft. But a miracle happened: in front of everyone, Apollonius disappeared from the crowded courtroom.
For centuries, it was believed that Apollonius, having managed to prepare the elixir of immortality, continues to hide among people. In the 12th century, there lived a philosopher and alchemist who called himself Artefius, from whom two mysterious works, full of mysteries and omissions, have survived to our time - a treatise on the philosopher's stone and an essay on ways to prolong life.
Many contemporaries believed that Apollonius of Tyana was hiding under the name of Artefius and presented strong arguments in defense of their suspicions.

AGASPHERE OR ETERNAL LIQUID
According to religious legends, during his journey of the cross to Golgotha, in extreme exhaustion, Christ leaned against the wall of a house belonging to Ahasuerus. But the cruel Jew did not give even a second to rest for Christ, who was carrying a heavy wooden cross, and drove him away. Then Christ doomed Ahasfera to eternal wanderings, without hope of ever finding peace or death.
And here and there, from century to century, a person appears, whom many identify with the personality of Ahasfera. The Italian astrologer Guido Bonatti met him at the Spanish court in 1223.
Five years later, he is mentioned by an entry made in the chronicle of the Abbey of St. Albana (England). According to the Armenian archbishop, who visited the abbey, he tells about his meetings with Agasfer, who was at that time in Armenia.
Allegedly, a person posing as Ahasuerus remembers well the events of more than a thousand years ago, remembers the appearance of the apostles and many details of the lives of those people that no one living today knows about.
In 1242, this man appears in France, then the silence of the historical chronicles reigns for two and a half centuries. In 1505, Hagasfer was declared in Bohemia, a few years later he was seen in the Arab East, and in 1547 he was again in Europe, in Hamburg.
In 1575 he was seen in Spain, in 1559 - in Vienna, in 1604 - in Paris, in 1633 - in Hamburg, in 1640 - in Brussels, in 1642 - in Leipzig, in 1658 - in Stamford (Great Britain).
When, at the end of the 18th century, the eternal wanderer again appeared in England, where he was given the examinations of the professors of Oxford and Cambridge. His knowledge of the ancient history and geography of the most remote corners of the Earth, which he allegedly visited, was amazing. He spoke almost all languages - both European and Eastern.
Soon this man appeared in Denmark, and then in Sweden, where traces of him are lost again.
Saint-Germain
In the second half of the 18th century, the attention of contemporaries is attracted by another mysterious person - the Count Saint-Germain.
Count Saint-Germain amazed his contemporaries with his extraordinary awareness of the past. His appearance astounded and bewildered the elderly aristocrats, who suddenly recalled that they had seen this man as a child, in the salons of their grandmothers. And since then he has not changed at all.
Saint Germain disappeared as mysteriously as he appeared. His death allegedly occurred in 1784 in a secluded castle in Holstein. However, none of the gravestones in the area bear the name of Saint-Germain.
Many years after this death, Saint-Germain's acquaintances met the Count in many European cities. Thus, Saint-Germain attended a meeting of Freemasons in Paris a year after his apparent death.
In 1788 he was seen in Venice, and during the French Revolution, the count was allegedly identified in one of the prisons where aristocrats were kept.
30 years after the death of Saint-Germain, an elderly aristocrat Madame Jeanlis, who knew the Count well in her youth, meets this man, who has not changed at all, on the sidelines of the Vienna Congress.
