There is little gold on Earth, so the question arises: is it possible to make it artificially? For example, the alchemists of the Middle Ages stubbornly strove for this. And I think, not only from greed. After all, the gold obtained by alchemists could solve many problems.
There is a legend that in time immemorial, individual peoples knew how to make gold. To do, not to extract. This made the alchemists look for a secret that could turn the yellow metal into the most ordinary one, which was considered, for example, by the natives of America before the Europeans appeared there.
But has at least one alchemist succeeded? There is no reliable information about this, but such legends exist, and one of them tells not even about the famous alchemist, but about the modest copyist of books Nicola Flamel, who lived in Paris at the turn of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
How a petty scribe became a gold patron
Once in the hands of this small, from the point of view of social significance, a man came across an ancient manuscript with intricate symbols and signs. And this mysterious manuscript Nicola Flamel tried in vain to decipher for twenty years. It remains a mystery why he needed it, how did he know what the text of this parchment is? After all, a modest scribe spent two decades, like a man possessed, all his earned money looking for a translator, appealed to all known experts in ancient languages, often traveled outside France …

And one day he was lucky, in Spain he found a scientist who knew the language of the ancient manuscript. Together with Nikola, he went to Paris, since Flamel never took the parchment with him, only a rewritten fragment from a mysterious text - nothing more. But the scientist was not destined to see Paris, he did not reach it - he fell ill on the way and died. True, even from the fragment he had in Flamel's hands, he taught the clerk to decipher the signs of ancient Hebrew symbolism.
Returning to his hometown, Nikola began to translate the old manuscript, and already on January 17, 1382, as the legend says, he received silver from mercury, and then gold. It may be just a fiction, but if it hadn't happened, we would hardly ever know anything about the poor copyist of books, of which there were many in Paris at that time. The name of Nikola Flamel became known only because from 1382 this man became fabulously rich, within just a few months he became the owner of huge land plots, thirty magnificent houses, built several churches for his own money, began to maintain hospitals and orphanages, donated to help fabulous sums for the poor. Why would it suddenly?..
This richest man in Paris died in 1419, bequeathed all his enormous fortune to charity. It is no wonder that until 1789 in the church of Saint-Jacques-la-Bouchery, where his ashes rested, a prayer procession was held annually in honor of the great patron of the arts.
It is not surprising that the houses where Flamel lived or even simply kept were subjected to careful examination by treasure seekers. However, to no avail. No one has ever managed to find that mysterious ancient manuscript that turned the petty clerk into the most respected citizen of France.
Gold obtained by the alchemist
Centuries have passed, but so no one has managed to repeat the experience of Nikola Flamel. And suddenly … at the end of the nineteenth century, chemist Stephen Emmens makes a sensational statement that he artificially obtained argentaurum - a metal very similar in properties to gold. In one of the US laboratories, three bars of Emmens' argentaurum were carefully checked and then bought from him at the price of gold. However, Stephen Emmens has publicly stated that he does not intend to reveal the secret of making artificial gold, so as not to destroy the world economy.
True, in 1900, the scientist agreed to demonstrate to colleagues the experience in making his artificial gold. But, alas and ah, not long before this session, the chemist disappeared without a trace, as many great inventors disappear in this life. This is exactly how the Portuguese Andres, the creator of an amazing fuel for an internal combustion engine, disappeared in the twenties of the last century. It was enough to add three drops of a substance invented by him to a bucket of water, and the latter turned into fuel, which in many respects was superior to gasoline. The engine on such "water" worked even better than on the highest quality gasoline - it did not smoke and did not poison the atmosphere. The invention from the Portuguese was immediately bought by one of the US oil magnates for a fabulous sum for those times - two million dollars. However, after this very inventor, no one has ever seen …
Who is hindered by artificial gold and other ingenious discoveries
Is it possible to create gold artificially at all? Orthodox science claims: this is possible only with the help of a nuclear reaction, which was proved experimentally in the forties of the last century. However, the isotope of gold obtained by the alchemists was unstable and quickly decayed. Moreover, such funds were spent on its manufacture, which significantly exceeded the cost of real gold. Nevertheless, nature itself knows how to do this easily and simply. This was proved by germinating plant seeds in a perfectly clean environment, when there was no presence of gold either in the air (closed reservoir) or in the soil, but it had already appeared in the germinated sprouts, as well as other chemical elements appeared, which were not in source materials.
Yes, and the "gold" of Emmens, the invention of the same Andres, the legend of Flamel prove that we still know too little about the nature of substances and their transformations, and if something is revealed by individual geniuses, then it must be classified by the world government. It must be assumed that the Illuminati have long known great secrets and amazing discoveries that can turn life on Earth into a real paradise, where there will be no money, rich and poor, disease and suffering, and so on. But then there will be no Illuminati either …
