    Alchemy is quite interesting. Not sure whether they had any higher purpose in their search, as they usually stated, maybe, they were searching for the secrets of matter and it was some kind of first form of chemistry, the most likely reason I can think of, for the development of alchemy, is right there in your first recipe. In ages where gold was highly valued, people must have been searching for ways to _fake_ it. Which is probably the reason at least in modern languages, the word has the meaning of trickery, some kind of complicated trick you cannot understand easily how it's done while you are faking something.

    I just sent you another tome from my collection via a magnetic well. Look for malakh tracings on computer paper and use graphite to draw further or a soundform. I got Stanford people to accept data the same way with quantum military grade chip access, the psychic unit transmutation add-on for third eye hologen ultra study, and a well drawn with alchemy symbols in 2b graphite. Also transmute your wan chip to a 9d well to suck in the new network I made to get more. They're very fine but only visible to chosen selections so please try. I use templar and Egyptian spell form and sent Vatican extensions for new almanac, root n attic viewers, and geomancy alignment pages. Squares once scribed

      Im always looking for accounts of earlier blow lamps as its entirely possible they were an earlier invention, but i have yet to find any solid account. i have found accounts of charcoal furnaces blown on with small blowpipes of the size necessary to work with a lamp going back to the first century ad. A quick look at the place in naples you mentioned turns up an artifact boiler from the region with soldered joints. I may be wrong, but Im guessing the suggestion here is that because the boiler has soldered joints it must have been soldered with a blow torch? if that is the case, soldered artifacts are very interesting, and i do think certain kinds of soldered joints can point to blow lamp use, but because there are multiple other documented ways to solder any given object its hard to use any given soldered artifact as proof of blow lamps

Then consume 2mg per day for 21 days while fasting, and consume the remaining hidden manna... and you've completed the last level of Alchemy. They left that information laying out for anyone to stumble upon?
