jan 1, 500 BC - Arcanum
Description:
"Arcanum" means secrets or mysteries. Philosophers and early chemists, such as Socrates and Paracelsus, wrote texts about Arcanum, referring to the secrets of life and the secrets of the afterlife. This was most commonly pertaining to alchemy and the philosopher's stone, but could also describe a "water of life" and immortality. Once ideas like these were discussed and searched for, more people started focusing on health and developing medications, leading to the medical technologies we have todayAdded to timeline:
