Back in ancient Egypt, the pharaohs permitted
Back in ancient Egypt, the pharaohs permitted their scribes and spiritualists to find solution to longevity. They hoped to live forever, and remain beautiful in spite of their age. Varying successes were experienced with the use the olive leaf, as recorded on the walls of the pyramids. But obviously, the ultimate goal was not achieved, or else we wouldnt still be looking for it today. For ages, many attempts have been made to help man in his quest to defeat old age. Scientists and alchemists have attempted various cures through the use of potions and other strange things for consumption. Sometimes they drank, sometimes they ate. Sometimes they injected substances such as gold into their bodies. Their test subjects must have gone through virtual hell. Have you ever tried injecting gold into your veins? You probably have not; otherwise you wouldnt be reading this. Those who did in times past, thinking that because gold was nearly perpetual it could cause them to live as long, they are dead already. Some crazy things we do when we try to find anti aging solutions! In the attempt to find the ultimate solution to old age, one of the many actions that have been taken in the past was transplanting monkey gonads. This is aside from the use of the olive leaf by ancient Egyptians to find longevity and beautification, or the injection of gold into the bloodstream. Most of these failed in some way, but many see them as the mistakes of the past that light the way into the future. There is a lot of history that is written about various quests for life extension and preserved youth. Also much fiction is derived from this. Spanish poet Ponce de Len wrote about his search for the Fountain of Youth as far back as the 16th century, showing that man has been interested in such for at least that long.
