A drink of the sun for eternal life. Elixir of Immortality
Considering the history of mythology and religions, it opens incredible fact about gods appearing as immortal beings, or at least living for many thousands of years. In ancient religious texts that mention the immortality or longevity of the gods, this is associated with a certain type of food that only the gods are allowed to eat - the elixir of life.
The gods had to regularly take the mysterious foods to maintain immortality, strength and longevity. Many myths refer to the fact that if mortals ate the food of the gods, they themselves became immortal, like gods. However, having tasted the "elixir of life" secretly, one could
One of the main references to immortal food is found in Greek mythology. In the stories of the Greek gods, it is written that ambrosia and nectar were the food and drink of immortality, and this first appears in Greek mythology, referring to the birth of Zeus.
Before the "invention" or "discovery" of ambrosia and nectar, it was said that the gods would feed on "sniffing" their dead enemies, as if their food would be the energy of dead souls.
NECTAR AND AMBROSIA ARE THE FOOD OF THE IMMORTALS.
In one version of mythology, Ambrosia (giving youth and immortality) descended from a magical goat named Amalthea, who nursed Zeus when the baby was hidden from Kronos' father. But the story of Amalthea, the “gentle goddess,” is supplemented by an artifact in the form of a bull horn.
Yes, that very biblical "cornucopia" that provided an unlimited supply of ambrosia, and contributed to the production of any kind of food for any living creature.
“White holy doves carried ambrosia, and a large eagle with shining wings flew at incredible speed through the sky, where he collected nectar and brought it to the baby Zeus.”
When the demigod Achilles was born, the mother rubbed the child with ambrosia, and he became practically immortal. However, practically does not mean absolutely, the mother, rubbing Achilles, held him by the heel, the remaining only mortal part of the body, causing problems for the heroic demigod in the future
It was said that ambrosia was used by the gods to cure all diseases, heal scars and wounds from numerous battles, and make their bodies beautiful again. Obviously, if mortals were treated with ambrosia, their bodies would remain in perfect condition forever. In other texts we see that ambrosia was abundant in the gardens of the Hesperides.
The Hesperides were inhabited by nymphs who had a fondness for a blissful garden in a far corner of the world, the place where ambrosia was brought to God Zeus.But immortal food also appears in the Bible, where we can see similarities between the gardens of the Hesperides and the Gardens of Eden. According to the Old Testament, a person was forbidden to eat fruits from the Tree of Life:
“... from the earth, the Lord God created the whole tree, pleasing to the eye and useful for eating. The tree of life was in the middle of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil…”
When Adam and Eve plucked the fruit of the Forbidden Tree of Knowledge, it seems that God warned the other Gods to be on their guard, because a person should not eat the fruit of the Tree of Life and become immortal like them.
It is difficult for us today to understand whether God was angry or not, but he said: “Behold, a man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. It is impossible for him to stretch out his hand and pluck the fruit of the tree of life, eat and live forever ... "
SOMA IS THE ELIXIR OF LIFE.
Moving on to Zoroastrian and Vedic mythologies, here we also meet the mention of a unique drink for the gods, known as Soma and Haoma. The special drink of the immortals was made by extracting the juices from the stems of certain plants that are unknown to us today.
But there is no doubt that Soma and Haoma gave immortality. Hydra, the leader of the Devas and the God Agni, is mentioned in the Rigveda as having consumed a large number of immortal drink.
If we turn to Egyptian mythology and the legends of Thoth and Hermes Trismegistus, we will see how the gods drink the mysterious "white drops", also called "liquid gold". The recipe for the drink is unknown, but it gave immortality and youth.
Sumerian texts mention the milk of Ninhursaga, referring to one of the seven great deities of Sumer, a goddess of fertility who is associated with a cow (similar to the magical goat Amalthea of Greek mythology).The gods and kings of ancient Sumer drank "magic milk" to become strong and immortal. In the epic of Gilgamesh, we learn about a plant that carried the function of the "elixir" of immortality. But this recipe for youth and longevity was preserved as the greatest secret gods.
In the Hindu religion, the gods took the milk of Amrita, the divine drink collected and drunk by the gods, gave them immortality and long youth.
The unknown "milk" was apparently in the sky, as the gods collected nectar with the help of a serpent. Understandably, people were forbidden to drink the precious drink.
In Chinese mythology, "Peaches of Immortality" are known as the food of the immortals. Eating peaches ensured eternal existence. At the same time, if people eat this fruit, they will also become immortal.
IN SEARCH FOR THE ELIXIR OF LIFE.
The search for the elixir of Life has been the greatest undertaking for many people. In medieval times, alchemists searched for the Philosopher's Stone, believed to be needed to create an elixir and also to convert lead into gold. However, nothing is known about the discovery of the mysterious artifact.
Bernard Trevisan, 15th-century alchemist says: By placing the Philosopher's Stone in mercury water, you can create a delicious product - the elixir of immortality.
But all we have in support of the theory of the alchemists who allegedly found the elixir of life is the sad hoax of Cagliostro.Nectar and Ambrosia, the Tree of Life, Amrita, Peaches of Immortality, Soma and Haoma - are all these just mentioning the imagination of ancient ancestors? Or is there an element of truth in this that can be?
Could immortality or longevity really be acquired through the consumption of "special" food, which has always been considered a privilege reserved for the elite of Olympus?
Nevertheless, the search for the "Elixir of Life" is an exciting undertaking, and perhaps one day it may be found for mortal people. And yet, if the gods used the "tinctures" of immortality and it worked for mortals, then ... but were they gods?
It always seemed to a person that the period of life allotted to him was too short. Many have tried to fix things, looking for ways to prolong life or even make it infinite. Some have almost succeeded...
"Mahabharata" - the epic of Ancient India - tells about the juice of some mysterious tree, prolonging a person's life up to ten thousand years. But where exactly to look for him, and remained a mystery. Ancient Greek historians also knew about the “tree of life”, however, they already claimed that it was not juice, but the fruits of some overseas tree that could restore youth to a person, but not give immortality. Russian epics sing " living water”, the source of which was in the middle of the ocean on the island of Buyan. But no one has ever found either the "tree of life" or the source of "living water".
Nevertheless, the search for the means of eternal life continued. When Christopher Columbus discovered unknown new lands in the West in Atlantic Ocean, hopes of finding, finally, the source of immortality were also transferred there. Some even believed that he had already been found, and gave the exact coordinates. Thus, the Italian humanist Pedro Martyr, a close acquaintance of Columbus, wrote to Pope Leo X:
“To the north of Hispaniola, among other islands, there is one island at a distance of three hundred and twenty miles from it, as those who found it say. On the island there is an inexhaustible spring of flowing water of such miraculous properties that an old man who drinks it, while observing a certain diet, after a while will turn into a young man. I beg Your Holiness, do not think that I say this out of frivolity or at random: this rumor has really established itself at court as an undoubted truth, and not only the common people, but many of those who stand above the crowd in their intelligence or wealth, too believe him."
It is not known how many expeditions went in search of mysterious island with its magical source. It is only known that as a result of one of these expeditions, America was once again discovered: a noble Spanish nobleman, in search of “living water”, reached the New World and, believing that there was another island in front of him, dubbed the land Florida (“blooming”). But he still didn't get immortality.
But today it is no longer from fairy tales, but from the results of scientific research that water really affects the life expectancy and health of people. The human body is seventy percent water, and he is by no means indifferent to what kind of water nourishes his tissues. Inhabitants of some islands Caribbean look much younger than their European peers and explain this phenomenon rather casually:
We have such water from springs on the island that rejuvenates a person.
Inhabitants central regions Sri Lankas have excellent health and also look younger than their years - due to the climate and water from mountain sources. Many highlanders surprise with their longevity and excellent physical condition. So the search for the elixir of immortality is not as hopeless as it might seem. Man, of course, will not cease to be mortal, but he is quite capable of living twice as long as he lives now. In any case, our skeleton has a "margin of safety" for one hundred and twenty years of active (!) Life, so there is clearly an unused natural reserve.
But back to the search for the elixir of immortality. In addition to magic water, there were many "man-made" recipes. Only those that clearly did not give the desired result have reached us. For if someone ever managed to create such an elixir, its recipe, of course, was kept in the deepest secret. How would you like this tool:
“You need to take a toad that has lived for ten thousand years, and a bat that has lived for a thousand years, dry them in the shade, grind them into powder and take them.”
Everything would be fine, but how to find out the date of their birth from cute little animals? This is not mentioned in the recipe.
In general, information about the successes that people have achieved in the search for immortality is scattered and unconvincing. It is known more or less reliably about two people who died already in our century, having lived a very long life. This is a Chinese who died in 1936 at the age of ... 246 (according to official documents), and an Indian who died in 1956 at the age of 186. An Indian at the age of fifty retired to the Himalayas, where he took up yoga. Apparently, a combination of special exercises, diet and some other means made it possible to significantly lengthen the life span allotted to him. You can believe these two facts, you can not believe it, but for all the fantastic nature of such phenomena, we are not talking about immortality. And the search for it did not stop and does not stop: there are always people who are ready to devote years, decades, all their lives to them ...
One of these people was Alexander Cagliostro. In addition to the mystery of his origin and the unknown source of his enormous wealth, Count Cagliostro had a disturbing secret:
"They say wrote one of his contemporaries. - Cagliostro discovered the secret of making the elixir of life. His young-looking and charming wife is already over forty years old, and, according to her, the count has the secret of returning youth.
This mysterious man also visited Russia. In St. Petersburg, his appearance made a splash. And the story of the failed duel with the court physician Roberts added new brilliance to his name. Annoyed by Roberts' attempts to denigrate him in the eyes of the court, Cagliostro offered him an original duel - "on poisons." Both opponents had to drink the poison prepared by the other, and then take any antidote. The count insisted, but the frightened doctor flatly refused: too persistent rumors that Cagliostro had the secret of the elixir of immortality circulated around the capital.
Alas, these were just rumors. Cagliostro was captured by the Inquisition and died in its dungeons. All his personal papers were burned, and only a copy of one note taken in the Vatican miraculously survived. It describes the process of "regeneration", or the return of youth:
“After taking two grains of the drug, a person loses consciousness and speechlessness for three whole days, during which he often experiences seizures and convulsions, and perspiration appears on his body. Waking up from this state, in which, however, he does not experience the slightest pain, on the thirty-sixth day he must take the third, and last, grain, after which he falls into a deep and calm sleep. During sleep, the skin slides off it, teeth and hair fall out. They all grow back within a few hours. On the morning of the fortieth day, the patient leaves the room, becoming a new person, having experienced complete rejuvenation.
Everything would be fine, but the recipe for the drug has not been preserved. And - was he at all?
The interrogation protocols of Cagliostro preserved curious information about another mysterious person - Count Saint-Germain. Cagliostro claimed to have seen a vessel in which the count keeps ... the elixir of immortality. They did not believe him: Count Saint-Germain died ten years before the death of Cagliostro himself, in 1784. But then strange things began to happen.
The count appeared in Paris in 1750, not only having no past, but even no plausible history of it. However, he preferred not to talk about himself at all, only sometimes - either on purpose or by accident - he let slip about his conversations with Plato or Seneca or one of the apostles. Of course, they did not believe him too much, but ... When someone asked the earl's coachman whether it was true that his master was four hundred years old, he answered ingenuously:
I do not know exactly. But in the one hundred and thirty years that I have served my master, his lordship has not changed a bit.
Of course, the coachman could be trained. But how to explain the fact that elderly aristocrats in best houses did you recognize in Saint-Germain a man who visited their grandmothers' salons half a century ago? Moreover, the elderly matrons swore that he had not changed a bit during this time. Moreover, if we compare the descriptions of people who knew the count well at different times, it turns out that he was seen in England, known in Holland, remembered in Italy. He changed names and titles - the Marquis of Montfert, the Comte de Bellamy, and a dozen others. And just as suddenly as he appeared, the Comte Saint-Germain disappeared from Paris and arose in Holstein. From there came the news of his death. But none of the tombstones in the vicinity of his castle bear the name of Saint-Germain. But it is on the list of Freemasons, whose meeting took place in Paris a year after the "death" of Saint-Germain. It is authentically known that three years later the French envoy in Venice saw the count, and not only saw, but also talked with him for a long time. And two years later, Saint-Germain ended up in one of the prisons where the revolutionaries kept aristocrats. Then traces of him were lost. Died on the guillotine, like many in those years? It turned out not.
Thirty years after the "imaginary death" of the count, on the sidelines of the Congress of Vienna, he was met by an old, kind friend - Madame de Genlis. He did not change a bit, but he tried not to drag out the unexpected meeting, and the very next day he disappeared from Vienna as mysteriously as he had in his time from Paris. Fifteen years later, when almost no one who knew Saint-Germain personally was left alive, the count reappeared in Paris under the name of Major Fraser. He posed as an Englishman, had unlimited funds of unknown origin, but lived rather closed. He was recognized by an elderly dignitary who miraculously survived the revolution, exile and everything connected with them. I recognized it, but unlike Madame de Genlis, he did not share this discovery with anyone, but tried to get close to "Major Fraser", since his years had changed beyond recognition.
The acquaintance took place, and the dignitary gradually learned that his interlocutor was well aware of everything that happened at the French court ... two hundred years ago. He spoke with such details that could not be read anywhere else. Even when he spoke about very distant times and distant countries, one got the impression that he was really present there and then. The old dignitary could not stand it, he mentioned that at one time he met with such a person as the great Saint-Germain. His interlocutor just shrugged his shoulders and started talking about something else, but ... the next day he disappeared from Paris.
Then he was allegedly seen there already in the mid-thirties of our century. But since there was no one personally acquainted with the count, these reports can hardly be considered reliable. Although if we take it as an axiom that he really invented the elixir of immortality, then his behavior seems quite logical. Wanting to keep his secret, he had to either move from place to place and change names, or fake his death and continue to live under a different name. Otherwise, he would not have rest from those who are eager to penetrate his secret.
By the way, there is another person who has achieved immortality, but not with the help of the elixir, but in a completely different way. According to legend, when Jesus Christ was led to the place of execution, he wanted to lean against the wall of one of the houses for a minute to rest. But the owner of the house did not allow him to do so.
Go, go! Nothing to rest, - he allegedly shouted.
Christ parted his parched lips:
Good. But you, too, will go all your life. You will wander forever, and you will never have peace or death ...
The owner of the house was called Ahasuerus. But he is better known under the nickname "Eternal Jew", and there are several interesting testimonies about his future fate. In 1223 he was met at the Spanish court by the Italian astrologer Guido Bonnati. Five years later, he was mentioned in one of the papers of an English abbey visited by the archbishop of Armenia. The archbishop, according to him, was personally acquainted with Ahasuerus, talked with him more than once and was absolutely sure that it was this man who had been cursed by Christ. In 1242, Ahasuerus appeared in France, and then disappeared for two and a half centuries.
In 1505 he was seen in Bohemia, and in 1547 in Hamburg. Bishop Paul von Eytheen met him there, who in his notes mentions that this man spoke all languages without the slightest accent, led a secluded and ascetic life, and had no property. If he was given money, he immediately distributed it to the poor. In 1575, Ahasuerus appeared in Spain, in 1599 - in Vienna. From there he intended to go to Poland and then to Moscow. And there is vague evidence that he really visited Moscow and talked to some people. But his appearance in the German city of Lübeck in 1603 is more than documented - an entry in the city chronicle made by the burgomaster, historian and theologian in Latin:
“Last year, on January 14, a famous immortal Jew appeared in Lübeck, whom Christ, going to be crucified, doomed to redemption.”
Mentions of this mysterious person were also found at a later time. The last one is dated 1830. You can believe it, you can reject it. And you can take the point of view of one medieval doctor who wrote:
“There is nothing that could save the mortal body from death, but there is something that can postpone death, restore youth and prolong the short human life.”
Modern science is also looking for the elixir of immortality. But, first of all, scientists have found that a human cell has a strictly defined life span - 50 divisions. The only difference is how fast this process takes place. For someone it takes sixty years, for someone it takes more than a hundred. But after that, the cell dies, and all attempts by scientists to increase the number of divisions were unsuccessful. And the experimenters chose a different path - cell rejuvenation. Some manage to achieve a positive effect, but no one has yet found the elixir. Although there are interesting results of experiments on mice.
The introduction of industrial preservatives into the mouse body, those that prevent spoilage of the oil, lengthened the life of the animals by almost one and a half times. Reducing his diet by a third lengthened his life by half. And a special diet generally rejuvenated the caudates: two-year-old individuals, that is, old men, began to behave like three-month-old youths. However, everyone knows that you need to eat right. Although not everyone does it ... for some reason. Yes, and so the man is arranged that he prefers to dream of a miraculous drug of instant action: he slammed a glass - and again he is healthy and young.
But in fact, if someone had achieved immortality, then sooner or later he would have to ask himself the question - why live an endless life? Even the most exquisite pleasures become boring, even the most favorite activities can get boring. Yes, and immortality itself can be abandoned, as did, according to legend, the wisest of the wise - King Solomon. When he was offered the elixir of immortality, he refused to accept it, because he did not want to outlive those who were close to him and whom he loved...
There is, after all, such a view of immortality.

It was in the 18th century. Once a servant of the legendary Count of Saint-Germain was asked if his master had really met Julius Caesar in person and had the secret of immortality. To which the servant calmly replied that he did not know, but over the past 300 years of his service with Saint-Germain, the count had not changed in appearance at all ...
Nowadays, the issue of immortality has not lost its relevance, and active work to find a way to gain physical immortality is being carried out in all industrialized countries of the world.
UNTIRETE COUNT
If we omit the mythological history of the biblical Adam, who lived, according to legend, for 900 years, the Eternal Jew Ahasuerus and Koshchei the Immortal, then the first popularizer of the elixir of immortality will be the same Saint Germain, a person, I must say, very mysterious. In the 18th century, folk rumor seriously claimed that the count was 500 years old, and in his castle there was a unique mirror in which one could see the future.
It was rumored that the count personally showed the headless body of his grandson in the mirror to Louis XV. In turn, the famous adventurer Count Cagliostro, who considered himself a student of Saint Germain, mentioned a certain vessel during interrogation in the Inquisition. In it, Saint Germain, according to Cagliostro, kept the elixir of immortality, made according to the recipes of the ancient Egyptian priests.
The most interesting thing is that people who personally met Saint-Germain in various parts of Europe described him as a man about 45 years old with a swarthy face. At the same time, over the course of decades, the graph did not change at all in appearance. He was rich, well-bred, and had a truly aristocratic manner. The Count spoke French, English, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Chinese, Turkish and Arabic equally well.
Often, in conversation with monarchs, Saint Germain referred to the rulers of bygone days, and in conversation he often claimed to have had personal conversations with many ancient rulers and philosophers, including Jesus Christ. Saint-Germain died either in 1784 in Holstein, or in 1795 in Kassel.
But his grave was never found. And many aristocrats who knew the count during his lifetime met him more than once after his official death! There is evidence of the appearance of Saint-Germain in Europe of the 20th century. Did the count really possess the elixir of eternal youth, is it possible?
YOUTH FOR THE TYRANT
As you know, the most notorious sinners and satraps cling to life more than others. Historical sources claim that the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, the legendary Shi Huangdi, who lived in the 3rd century BC. e., was literally obsessed with the idea of his own immortality. From morning to night, his associates studied ancient treatises in the hope of discovering a recipe for eternal youth.
But in vain. As a result, the frustrated emperor issued a decree in which he forbade himself to die. But still he died. Subsequently, many emperors of China tried to find the elixir of eternal life, but apart from unique rejuvenation techniques, nothing was invented.
Medieval rulers also became famous for their search for a recipe for immortality. All the ways they invented bordered on a rare inhuman sadism. They say that Marshal of France Count Gilles de Ré, the prototype of Bluebeard, became famous in this field more than others. After being arrested during interrogations by the Inquisition, he confessed that he had killed several hundred young people in order to make an elixir of immortality from their genitals.
In the second half of the 16th century, the Hungarian Countess Elisabeth Bathory took baths from the blood of virgins to gain eternal youth and beauty. In total, 650 girls found their end in the castle of the countess.
BLOOD FOR THE LEADER
Like medieval aristocrats, the first Soviet leaders also wanted to live forever. In the 1920s, the famous revolutionary Alexander Bogdanov headed the world's first Blood Institute, in which the elderly leaders of Soviet Russia were tried to transfuse the blood of the young.
However, the matter did not work out. Lenin, unlike his sister, who underwent a rejuvenating procedure, refused a blood transfusion, calling it scientific vampirism. Perhaps the research would have been successful, but Bogdanov died unexpectedly during one of the experiments on himself. After his death, a disappointed Stalin ordered the experiments to be interrupted.
Half a century later, the problem of gaining longevity through the transfusion of the blood of young compatriots was quite successfully practiced by the leader of North Korea, Kim Il Sung. Having begun the procedures at the age of 65, the dictator lived to a very old age of 82, although he planned to stretch it to at least 120 years.
THE GENERATOR OF YOUTH EXISTS
AT modern world There are dozens of promising methods for extending human life. But humanity is not waiting for a unique diet, an expensive operation or cryofreezing of its own body, but the invention of a device that, in a few sessions, would help a person completely get rid of diseases and live an extra 40-50 years.
Oddly enough, but such an apparatus exists and operates on principles that are logically close to the cruel experiments of medieval rulers. However, now it is not about transfusing young blood to an old man, but about transplanting a young biofield.
One of the presentations of the technique took place in 1997 in St. Petersburg at the First International Congress "Weak and superweak fields and radiation in biology and medicine." A report on his unique technique was made by a scientist of Chinese origin from Khabarovsk, Yuri Vladimirovich Jiang Kanzhen. According to the scientist's theory, repeatedly confirmed by practical experiments, all living organisms exchange some genetic information invisible to the eye.
The process occurs with the help of electromagnetic waves of the microwave range. The device, invented by Dr. Jiang Kanzheng, can transfer the biofield of young organisms to old ones, rehabilitating their DNA and stimulating rejuvenation. Like a real scientist, Jiang Kanzheng experimented both on himself and on his father - the result was both the youthfulness of the scientist himself and the processes of regeneration of the body of his 80-year-old father.
It is interesting to note that, unlike many similar inventions, the discovery of a scientist official science accepted and even issued patents for several inventions. So it is likely that in the foreseeable future every clinic will have a device capable of transferring the biofield of a young person to his elderly relatives, rejuvenating them. In this case, the duration of human life will almost double.
SCIENCE DOES NOT STAND
To comment on the possibility of creating a technique that significantly prolongs human life, he agreed to us Doctor of Medical Sciences, Academician of the VAKB Dmitry Valerievich GLUKHOV:
- The elixir of eternal youth really has a right to exist. But not in the medieval sense. All over the world, research is being actively conducted in the field of rejuvenation techniques, there are significant successes in this area. In Russia alone, more than 10 rejuvenation systems and more than 30 rejuvenation techniques have been commercialized, not counting a variety of dietary supplements and pharmacological preparations.
Most of the work is carried out in the field of cosmetology and correction of the human immune system. Every year there are new methods based on advanced, promising technologies. So, nanotechnology gave impetus to a new direction of rejuvenation - supramolecular chemistry. Development is proceeding rapidly, and, perhaps, in the near future, one of the researchers will show the coveted bottle with a cloudy liquid.
Today, the technologies of electromagnetic transformation, or modification of the human genome, have advanced farthest in this direction. Again, many scientists are working in this direction in Russia. In my opinion, the work of Jiang Kanzheng looks quite promising. It is impossible not to mention Professor Zakharov with his cell therapy and revitalization, Goryaev, Komrakov and other researchers.
In case of their success and the mass introduction of methods, the average life expectancy of a person can increase from the current 65-70 years to 140-160 years. True, in this case, a person will have, among other things, to lead a relatively healthy lifestyle.
