Alchemy is a mystifying art with a deep and rich history, with many practitioners throughout the centuries. One of those practitioners is said to have found the Philosopher’s Stone, the secret to immortality. What makes this all the more spectacular is that this person existed less than a hundred years ago, but his identity remains unknown. Today we look into the identity of who is perhaps the most mysterious person in history, the Last Alchemist Fulcanelli.
