And I think being cynical, sceptical and willing and able to rationalise and challenge everything is the absolute correct way to be in this world, so totally with you there.

Yet such "evidence" amounts primarily to documents that other men/women have written about those people, usually many 100s of years after the time of their lives. What about the similar evidence for the "Stone" in the 100s of documents written by numerous key figures, philosopher's, sages, well know religious figures and the works of painters and other artists. What about the references to it found in most mainstream religions (despite their followers being blind to it)? Heck the very opening verses of the Bible, Genesis, are nothing but a description of the very alchemical process for creating the Stone, though devout Christians the world over are simply ignorant of it and think it really is about an entire universe being created in 7 days lols ! The Bible is chock full of clues and references to the Stone, chock full, and even Jesus talks about it !

The fact (?) that there has long been such a belief does not impress me. Mankind over many centuries has believed all manner of crap.
Fair comments indeed. Man has believed in all manner of stupidity. Nevertheless, if you devote some time to researching this you
will start to uncover all the evidence and see that it is not fanciful myth.

I wish the website were still available as I could have included links to the
plethora of photos of the laboratory process as it developed that many different people had posted.
If you really want to begin to look into this, I recommend you start by reading a work called "The Book Of Aquarius" written by an anonymous author. There are to my knowledge 3 editions of this. Here is a link. I'm not sure which edition this is:
http://www.alchemy.ws/TheBookofAquarius.pdf
Do
not read this by way of evidence.
Read it simply as a grounding in what the Stone is, and try to learn from it what the practical process is for creating it. It is a 2 stage process, not particularly complicated.
The book is, imo, hard going in places because the author has been keen to include all the references from numerous source documents as he goes along, rather than just presenting a straightforward "recipe cookbook".
It is apparently important to understand those source references and the reasons for each stage of the process.
If this serves to whet your appetite (it did mine!) then I recommend you go on to download copies of
every source document it references, and there are many !!
Those source documents are MUCH harder going as they are the works of the philosophers and sages who wrote cryptically in order to conceal the secret from the general populous. In fact many of them read as complete mumbo-jumbo gibberish
UNTIL such time as you have given yourself a basic grounding in the 2 stage process and the terminology that these writers all used.
Personally I find it hard, mentally challenging to persevere through. Yet despite this, I now do understand the 2-stage process and most of the terminology and as a result, I now see references to the Stone everywhere I look because I see those same cryptic terms used. I was very much blind in my prior ignorance, but now I see. I sought, and now I have found.
A core message of The Bible is that there is but one way to achieve enlightenment and immortality and the Bible continually references the Stone, albeit hidden (in plain sight) amongst a plethora of fanciful stories and parables.
I can not iterate this enough.
The Stone is very much concerned with Silver and Gold. When you look back to the ancient Egyptians you realise quickly that they too were obsessed with gold and seemed to have massive quantities of it ! Now where did all their gold come from??? Were there hundreds of gold mines? Lols Nope. They created it, clearly.
Happy reading my friend and do come back to me once you are ready and we can chew the fat over the issue in more detail.
