The Presentation
For those
who may recognize the pseudoscience known as “alchemy,” the term typically
conjures up images of hooded wizards who make elixirs that can transmute lead
into gold, not to mention impart immortality! Although the origins of alchemy
can be traced back to the ancients, the Medieval Period is renowned for a cast
of alchemists who sought riches, fame and life everlasting. Although far from
being classified a thesis on alchemy, I developed this five-minute presentation
with the hope of wetting your appetite to want to learn more! So please enjoy
this slidecast as it whisks you from ancient times to the middle ages
accompanied by the euphoric melodies of the period.
