About this episode

This episode explores the life of Nicolas Flamel, his work as an alchemist, and his connection to the Philosopher's Stone.

You've probably heard the name Nicolas Flamel, most likely from the first Harry Potter book, but he was a real man with an... interesting story about his work as an alchemist and creator of the Philosopher's Stone. Of course, there's more to it than that, and also a whole lot less to it.  The following music was used for this media project: Music: Anachronist by Kevin MacLeod Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/3363-anachronist Music: Suonatore di Liuto by Kevin MacLeod Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/4440-suonatore-di-liuto License (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Hosted on Acast.
