The Philosophers Stone

Hi everyone,

A nice BBC video on Nicolas Flamel and the Philosophers Stone..

https://www.bbc.com/reel/video/p09ykqlg/the-alchemist-believed-to-have-found-the-key-to-immortality

**********

Nicolas Flamel was one of many medieval alchemists on the quest for eternal life, but legend says he is one of few to have cracked the code. While Flamel's tombstone lies in Paris, his name lives on through the Harry Potter series, as its only character to have existed in real life.

Author JK Rowling reveals the ancient artefacts that inspired the world of Harry Potter, including Flamel's tombstone and a rare 420-year-old alchemist scroll.

Cheers.

Sriram
