Archaeologists discovered an "elixir of immortality" in an ancient Chinese tomb​


In March 2019, archaeologists in central China's Henan Province reportedly found a 2,000-year-old bronze pot from a Western Han Dynasty that contains 3.5 liters of a liquid that was referred to in ancient Taoist literature as an "elixir of immortality."

The elixir was found to be a mixture of potassium nitrate and alunite. However, we have to assume it was less than effective—considering the fact that it was discovered, you know, in a tomb.
