The most ancient science.
Since the ancient times alchemy science existed, and its aims consisted in getting a pure gold from a lead (placed inside rotund vessels) or, another purpose, it was called by euphony — a philosophers' stone or a potable elixir of immortality.
Their methods didn’t imply a ferrous metal burnish – it was merely tranquil deliberate chemical process.
Alchemists were not iconoclast, because there were even monks among them.
They hadn’t got levity within their heads, because, to avoid frivolous application of their experiments’ results, alchemists enciphered their own discoveries.
Nowadays, their methods are applied to produce joy for our olfactory organs – in perfumery.
