【History Talk】Fulcanelli, the last alchemist.【Kenshin History 】

From ancient times to the present, people from all regions have pursued the ability to achieve immortality and turn base metals into gold. This pursuit resembles the alchemy practices of ancient Chinese philosophers during the Qin and Han dynasties, as well as the pursuit of alchemy in Europe and America since the Middle Ages. As mentioned by Qianxin earlier, even the great scientist Newton was considered an alchemist. Today, Qianxin wants to talk about Fulcanelli, believed to be the last alchemist in history.

The exact details about Fulcanelli remain uncertain. Born in the 1920s, it's unclear if Fulcanelli is his real name; many believe it to be a pseudonym. However, it's reliably known that he was a Frenchman educated in alchemy, architecture, art, science, and language. His name appears in two published books, with his greatest work, "Le Mystère des Cathédrales," passed down to his sole student, Eugène Canseliet. The story begins with Canseliet.
