Typically, alchemy is associated with images of flasks, furnaces, laboratories or the root of the mandragora. But the universe of gold -like iconography is much wider: it is rich in symbols and allegories associated with the customs and religions of different cultures. In order to see the real world of the past in mysterious miniatures, we will make a fascinating journey through ancient China, mysterious India, we will go to the country of pharaohs, to the Greek sages, Arab caliphs and European heretics, and we will not cost modernity attention. From this book you will learn how yoga is connected with the great work, why the Arabs ate Mumiy, why Shakespeare, Newton or Goethe were interested in alchemy, and why they mined a philosopher"s stone for the USSR. Deciphering mystical images symbolizing alchemists of superpowers, we will discover a new dimension of world history.
