The Pharaonic mercury and The Priest Oil

The great chemist in history Jaber Ben Hayyan (who has also title:father of Chemistry) mentioned that Mercury has two types: first type is the metallic mercury, which exists in nature, and the second type is that which is being educed from all things, which means that it is being composed of all materials which are exist in nature, and the last type is known among some less-educated public and even educated ones under the name of "The Pharaonic mercury" particularly in recent times, as they do not classify it as a chemical compound but a complex as a magic material which has breathtaking specifications. Although it is impossible to install it scientifically where there is not a compound consisting of all chemical elements which have been listed in the periodic table of "Mandliev". And before entering into the corridors of Pharaonic mercury legend, we recall a little thing which happened with the label Arab scientist Ben Hayyan who received his knowledge at the hands of his father (Jaber Ben Abdullah) who was working as druggist (Attar in Arabic spelling) and he taught him the secrets of metals and stones, but he warned him of the search for Elixir (The Philosopher's Stone: read about it below) that thing which the scientists and people were searching madly for it throughout the ancient ages, and in the middle ages in purpose of transmutation of the inferior metals into gold bad what was known as the science of Alchemy "Alchemy" and as a Elixir of life which eternize the person who found it, and we can find a big similarity with the myth of the Pharaonic mercury which circulates nowadays in Middle East and fascinating some people minds and let them struggling and fighting desperately in searching of it , though they will never find it and the following lines tell us about the origin of this alleged mercury.

The Pharaonic mercury as a "Magical Material"

The seekers for the Pharaonic mercury claim that it is a magical material which is similar only in format (not in the properties) the white medical mercury (in fact it has a silver color) which located in the pressure gauges and thermometers(measuring temperature pipes) but it takes other different colors such as red , yellow-green and black and this Pharaonic mercury can be found inside a stone pipe (Ampoule) (Ampoule: This term is used by those to refer to the cartridge which contains the alleged mercury), but it has no vent to open and no cover of it though it is hollow of inside , and if it been jolt by who hold it , it gives a sense of jolting without a voice and when the clever persons asking them about the method to put that mercury inside the stone pipe "Ampoule" with no vent of it to be closed after filling it , they answer: "This is one of the magical characteristics by the pharaohs which is added to the many other magical properties of this marvelous material and they describe the form of this pipe (Ampoule) saying:" This stone Ampoule must be drawn or inscribed with the symbol of scorpion on one side and a symbol of cobras as these are Pharaonic symbol then the key of life symbol which is used by the Pharaohs (It embodies the idea of immortality to the Pharaohs) and this stone (Ampoule) would be inside the mummies of the King particularly in the throat which the priests put it to keep the king body from the rot , decay , disintegration, or in the vagina for women if those mummies belonging to queens".

- Comment

According to this idea, this magical mercury Ampoules exist only in the royal tombs, However it did not happen to find it once during the exploration in the royal tombs or in the mummy of the tomb owner (king or queen), as there are none of those stone pipes "Ampoules" ,which they call!
The TradeThe pharaonic mercury Ampoule contains three grams and one- third gram, namely three and one-third of small grains, and there are other Ampoule which contains seven, and one- third grams, and that Ampoule is slightly longer than the first and I do not know the importance of one-third gram specifically here and how it can be seen bye the naked eye if the whole grain of it is so micro, then what for that one–third gram?! , The Pharaonic mercury characterized by three types of colors according to their claims, namely, (red mercury) and it is the cheapest of these three species as the gram from it can be sold with only $US 15 million !, and the dealer takes the whole Ampoule with $US 45 million (for that Ampoule which contains three grams and one - third gram) but he does not pay for that one - third gram as he takes it over the pledge and the second type is (yellow – green mercury) and the price of a gram from it equal $US 20 million , while the third type which is the last one (black mercury) is the most expensive species as the price of a gram of it equal $US 30 million!

- Physical Characteristics Allegations

When the Ampoule of the Pharaonic mercury broken and the of mercury spills on the ground, they gather and unite as one big pill without being absorbed by the dust of the earth, and if the one - third gram being isolated from the rest of the three grams, and then put the three grams into the Ampoule without placing the one-third gram and re-welding the stone Ampoule again, then if anyone tried to jolt it , it will not happen the same result of previous sensation of shaking (the sensation of shaking only happens when you add the one - third remaining gram.

- Comment
It should be noted that the regular medical mercury which found in nature has the same effects which would happen with the alleged Pharaonic mercury as mercury is a metallic element (from metals) but it is in a liquid state and there is no existence of the miraculous properties here.

- Health Benefit Allegations

Some people claim that the Pharaonic mercury with its three colors is a magical material purchased by traders and pay millions to profit billions beyond it as they sell it to the princes and kings and the wealthy who suffer from aging or impotence by injecting a gram of it in the last vertebra at the bottom of the spine then the youth renewed with strength and sexual powers back to those men even if they are hundred years old of age , and it is used in the treatment of many diseases such as blindness, leprosy, arthritis and many other chronic diseases.

- Allegation: A way to downloaded via Jinns
The Pharaonic mercury has other uses by Charlatans (Sheikhs as some prefer to call them) as they buy it to feed it to their servants of the Jinn then those Jinn vitality and youth goes back and this look like myth myth of Youth Fountain, to them with a view to help their masters (Charlatans), in extracting the treasures after the Jinn who is five thousand years old for example,to a young jinn in thirties of his age! , then that Sheikh (Charlatan) download billions of bank funds which are stolen by the Jinn without being seen or felt by the employees or guards of this bank and even without opening the bank steel safes, but the Jinn has the ability to penetrate and steal the contents without a voice, pop or break.

- Comment
Is it reasonable that such stealing of billions of funds by the jinn disappear from the bank without being discovered by the bank accountants whether it is a Swiss bank or in any other country though that money is in banks must be counted daily and if it has been discovered that disappearance of one hundred dollars only then it will be a great disaster, and perhaps the police being called to investigate and search for the thief and the media would inform this strange news to all people around the world, as how can all these billions disappear without opening or breaking the steel safes?!

A methods for swindle and fraud

The sale and purchase of the (Pharaonic mercury) follow a series of trading intermediaries between the owner of the Ampoule and the final buyer , and after , Finding a dealer can agree to buy it (Ampoule) then the owner begin to dictate terms to the dealer in indirectly way through a series of intermediaries and one of those terms that the owner wants to get the full price of the Ampoule before the merchant crushing it , but if this sheikh (Charlatan) is Non-Egyptian or far from Egypt, the Sheikh (Charlatan) will tell those intermediaries that he would not come to Egypt except after he been confirmed that this Ampoule includes true Pharaonic mercury then he command theintermediaries to inform the Ampoule owner that he will do some tests on the Ampoule to verify it, and those tests are:

- 1st test: The owner of the Ampoule must put it behind his back and when his penis erects it will be a sign of test success .

- 2nd test: When the Ampoule being put in front of an electrical lamp and if this lamp blasted then the second test will be succeeded.

- 3rd test: When the Ampoule being put in front of a TV screen or on the TV then the device must be exploded and the third test will be succeeded.

- 4th test: When the Ampoule being put in front of a mirror then the mark this test success is non - reflection of the Ampoule figure in the mirror.

- 5th test: Breaking the Ampoule and putting its pills in a metal dish till they assemble in one pill and then it must put beads of garlic inside the dish, and if the pills of mercury become discordant then the fifth and final test will be succeeded.

- And after the ampoule owner inform the mediators of the merchant or Sheikh that he had held all those tests and has finished them successfully then those cheated mediators who did not see that Ampoule at all or witnessed those false tests will tell the sheikh or the merchant about that and the sheikh or the merchant will ask them to inform the Ampoule owner that there is a final test to make sure of this owner words then he will be able to attend from his country to Egypt with the full price of this Ampoule.

- This last test is the ampoule owner must held it in his left hand and then call this Sheikh by the cell phone where the Sheikh will harness his servants of the jinn on this Ampoule via cell phone and read some of the spells to make sure that this Ampoule already contains Pharaonic mercury , but when the intermediaries tell that to the Ampoule owner , the Ampoule owner quickly rejects on the grounds that this Sheikh may steal the Ampoule contents (grams) of mercury by dragging them from it by his servants of jinn without being seen then he will leave the Ampoule totally empty or downloads the money (theft of money) from banks by this mercury which is subjugated by numbers of jinn who are employed on this Ampoule then the Ampoule contents of Pharaonic mercury will be useless , costless , and nobody will buy it even for one millieme.

- All this superstitious operation needs many long months and possibly the mediators looking for another Sheikh and when they find this Sheikh they ask him to come to Egypt to see this Ampoule in real and examine it by himself, and they tell him that if he found it a real Pharaonic mercury and all his experiments succeeded in front of them , he should buy and pay the full price for the owner; in addition to their share as intermediaries, but if all his tests failed , they will pay a large sum as a penalty clause for this Sheikh or this merchant which be agreed upon in advance and this is what happens often, and the Sheikh or the merchant wins the penalty clause because he is sure that the Pharaonic mercury is not exist at all and it will be his chance to earn money from some as usual, and it is not his fault alone but it is the fault of such intermediaries who run and puff foolishly behind this falsehood, which they call "The Pharaonic Mercury" and believe everyone who say that he possesses an Ampoule of Pharaonic Mercury and they spend their money on the international communications and travel long distances and pay the penalty clause to the Sheikh in the end, after the failure of all tests on the alleged Ampoule which they watch it for the first time only when the Sheikh comes of his country and meet the Ampoule owner and this Ampoule become a stone tube inscribed with a key of life symbol , a scorpion and cobra snake from the outside and it has a hole or crater that when it is broken , a normal medical granules of mercury which do not equal one millieme come out of this Ampoule as it is a thing made specifically to bluff the Sheikhs , traders, intermediaries and wealthy and maybe the owner of this false Ampoule once win, and possibly the Sheikh win in another time, and so on , and it is rumored among those fools that there is another type of mercury called (white spiritual mercury) they say that it is a white Medical , Mercury such as exists in nature, but some light bewitchments exist upon it (Spirituality as they call it) and this type of mercury is not useful in anything and nobody buy it and it has no price in the market of mercury!

Red mercury

There is another type of mercury is using by some predators for deceiving in the absence of the original Pharaonic mercury and they call it (German mercury Ampoule) and they say that it exists in the old power transformers in the High Dam (in Egypt), or within the old German television sets and even in sewing machines of the German-model (Singer) and they describe it as a glass Ampoule which is similar to the piece of glass that is placed inside it a chemical material such as the anti-fire sensors sets which exists in hotels and they claim that this Ampoule contains grains of red mercury and they use it to bluff the wealthy men to delude them saying that it is a Pharaonic mercury , but when a veteran swindler Sheikh or a dealer comes in the and watches this Ampoule he says to the owner that this German mercury also has its price, as it can be sold for one million Egytian pound (LE) in the case of tests succeeding and when those tests succeed, the merchant buy it to defraud the wealthy men who are applicants for the Pharaonic mercury and he sells it to them as a Pharaonic mercury and after the Ampoule owner consents to break the Ampoule which is a piece of glass or stone does not have the symbols which located on the ancient Egyptian Pharaonic mercury Ampoule (as they claim)

- 1st test

After breaking the Ampoule the contents being empty in a glass or metal dish and then the grains of mercury placing over a paper tissue and if this tissue absorbed it or suck the red color then this mercury becomes normal white mercury which being colored in a primitive method , but if it is not absorbed by the paper tissue and the red color of mercury grains did not change ,then the test may be passed successfully.

- 2nd test

This occurs by squeezing a lemon over the German mercury grains inside a metal or glass dish, and if the colorchanged from red to white then the test fails but if the color did not change then the test consider to be successful.

- The inside contents of the mercury Ampoule looks like a white mercury painted carefully in red to use it to bluff the wealthy and of course this happens in rare cases as the coloration for the white medical mercury into red color requires a veteran chemist to manage this process. - And rumor has it that there are some chemists can color the white medical mercury into red color but this color lasts only for few days and after that the mercury which being colored in red be back to its natural white color automatically which means that it must be sold before its corruption to any stupid dealer or idiot rich man who does not know this secret, even if he found it out after the pay then it will be nothing of what he owns of the billions of money , and even if he became furious and wanted to take revenge then he will not find those men who sold the Ampoule to him or any sign of them and there are some people put red fingernails paint in those stone or glass Ampoules, and claim that it is a red German mercury afterwards they enter the circle of fraud either to loose a penalty clause and carry the loss on the intermediaries or to gain some few thousand pounds from idiots as a price for an Ampoule filled by nail varnish which its price is not more than one pound.

Priest Oil

There is another strange material occurs a great din in the community those people who search to be quickly wealthy by fraud and swindling, but this din is dwarfed in the din of the Pharaonic mercury Ampoules and this material is called (The priest oil) and those people say that it is exist in a glass bottle which placing under the head of a priest mummy buried a Pharaonic cemetery, and its estimated size is equal a bottle of liquid medicine , and it contains a magical oil invented by priests of ancient Egypt and it also can be sold in grams, but its price is not the same as the price of the Pharaonic mercury but it remains expensive, and said that the charlatans use it as a treatment for leprosy,rheumatoid arthritis and joint pain by fating the whole body of the patient or fating the infected part only with a small drop of this oil then the patient recovered and be safe and sound and it is also used in the treatment of Vixen diseases (empty areas of hair in the head) and in the cases of hair loss as it grows again naturally .

- Comment

Interestingly, in this matter is that the priests of ancient Egypt were bald heads completely according to the rules of their work in the priesthood contrary with the priests of the ancient civilizations who were left their hair for more than a meter, and most men in the ancient Egypt were bald heads too!, and if the purpose of this material that to cure skin diseases or hair loss in women, then why we do not say that it is a natural material compound of a variety of herbs and other natural materials, such as those which the ancient Egyptians used in mummifying process , but with certain rates which were not known to other people just like the herbs and spice dealers in all times?! And why those fraudsters link it with witchcraft and say that it is a magical material harnessed by the jinn and can only be used by a magician or a charlatan? , The answer here lies in that they want to fraud by it and to deceive the naive people as they are many.

A True story

This story has taken place in Egypt to an Egyptian very rich and famousbusinessman called Mr. Shaker (50 years old) as he was a victim of fraud and deception of charlatans and he listened to them and believed their words and followed their footsteps as his greed to increase his funds blinded him away of any mental rule or even religious rule, as in someday, someone came to him and introduced himself, saying: "I am (So and so) from another governorate of Upper Egypt, and I am great experienced in downloading a lot of money and stolen it from banks of Switzerland and Europe by the Red mercury through feeding it to the jinn from mercury then this jinn do what we want and bring us what we want of billions of dollars, but I can not afford to buy an Ampoule of red mercury which I have seen with someone after he extracted it from a Pharaonic tomb and he offers it for sale now and I want you (Shaker) to buy it from this owner in order to achieve what we want", and those words of the charlatan came to Shaker after increasing his knowledge with each other as this charlatan knew that he is searching always for treasures and the Pharaonic mercury in particular, then the trick of this charlatan fell on(Shaker) then they went to buy the red mercury Ampoule from its owner, after the owner having been remiss a lot to sell it with the confirmation of the charlatan For (Shaker) to buy it with any price as this opportunity will not be repeated as the red Pharaonic mercury is rare then Shaker bought the Ampoule for 15 million U.S dollars with total happiness, then he and the charlatan took the Ampoule and went to the villa of Shaker , then the charlatan asked Shaker to attend a young girl for jinn to sleep with her and to practice the rest of the process of harnessing the jinn and feeding him with the red mercury and then the billion of dollars will be descended and become in the front of Shaker eyes and in the grip of his hand, then Shaker has already achieved all what the charlatan wanted and offered him the luxury foods, wines which continued for a full month, where the charlatan enjoyed all means of luxury and comfort with the beautiful horn girls Inside the villa of Mr. shaker and after the charlatan exercised his all methods of deception and jugglery on shaker during this full month then he told (Shaker) that he has already downloaded billions of dollars which are in abandoned place in desert now and they have to go to enlarge and fortify it against theft again by the jinn!, then they have gone to that place, along with cars and workers and the bodyguards of (Shaker), and the workers dug a large hole after the charlatan wander aimlessly about in the desert to find the basic location of drilling, then paper cartons appeared in the digging place one after the other and when the charlatan opened one of them he found it full of dollar packages then (Shaker) cheered with joy but his joy was not continuous because the police cars stormed the place and they fled leaving the money in the paper cartons .

- Trick revealing

Of course, what happened from the beginning of this story is a series of tricks by the charlatan and his assistants to deceive Shaker and the first trick is purchasing the red mercury Ampoule which was not Pharaonic mercury as the charlatan duped (Shaker) because there is no Pharaonic mercury at all, and secondly , it is rumored that the Pharaonic mercury exists only in the royal Pharaoinc tombs to play its part in saving the king or the queen mummy and treasures from theft by a protection from the jinn who is employed on it although It is not to find such thing in any royal tomb opened by the Egyptian Monuments Administration such as the cemetery of (Tutankhamun), or other tombs , or even by the monuments robbers and there was not anything mentioned about the mercury in the papyrus or texts of the Pharaohs, which contained all their ceremonies, and even if it been found in a Pharaonic cemetery then why the thief retains it alone from the rest King ′s treasures ?! which means that the antiquities dealer, who bought the this King treasures did not pay attention to the presence of a Pharaonic mercury Ampoule in the cemetery, or ask about it although it is known that all antiquities dealers and people are now obsessed with researching for the Pharaonic mercury and it was a fortiori that who found it sell it with the rest treasures, to the dealer instead of searching for another dealer and the risk with this " Precious thing" which could be stolen from him or the police arrest him and then he will loose everything and what we want to clarified here that there is no existence for the so-called (Pharaonic mercury) in its colors: red ,black or yellow- green, but what be found is a normal medical mercury such as that found in thermometers and pressure measuring devices and this was the first tricks from the charlatan to (Shaker) as he with his companions stole 15 million dollars from him, and when the charlatan discovered that (Shaker) is bunker with his bodyguards and he realized that he can not escape and inescapable from him for that he decided to continue in the deception until he passes an opportunity to escape without harm and he already bestowed achieving his desire as after he enjoyed all luxuries and pleasures of sex in a villa of (Shaker), he took him to a place in the desert and made him seeing the paper cartons of dollars which were not more than a few real dollars at the top of the boxes and the rest of dollars were normal white papers and the charlatan assistants , who dressed in police uniforms and carried weapons raided the site before (Shaker) the peruse the contents of those boxes and the fake police officers (who were assistants of the charlatan) threaten (Shaker) and his companions from a distance that allowed everyone to escape so as not to battle with the bodyguards of (Shaker) who were armed too or arrest everyone, and then they will not know where they could leave them ,but what will stabilize in the mind of (Shaker) now that the police had prevented him from receiving the paper cartons of dollars , and he will realize that the escape was the best way to escape from death or prison and he will not doubt about the charlatan at all , and of course, after everyone had fled the charlatan (who was hiding in a place nearby which Shaker did not notice it) returned with his assistants and took the paper boxes, and reposed them in their cars to hide any traces of them in anticipation of the (Shaker) return to search again in this place and then he will discover that they are false dollars of normal white papers.

- Arresting the charlatan

After a year the charlatan has been arrested in a similar incident, but by real policemen in this time ant being put to the prison and in this way Shaker realized finally that this charlatan has continued to deceive him in a full year after seeing his image and his name published in the official newspapers, then Shaker kept silent and the anger possessed him more and more of what happened to him as how he has been misled by a rogue charlatan with those all means, and he is an educated person and a large dealer?!

Philosopher's Stone : a goal of Alchemy practice

It is a legendary material being believed that it can transmute the cheap metals (like lead) into gold and can be used in the manufacture of the elixir of life. The origins of this term is in the science of alchemy which began in ancient Egypt, but the idea of transforming the cheap metals to precious metals (gold or silver) backs to the writings of the Arab alchemist "Jabir ,where he analyzed the properties of the four elements according to (Aristotle), saying the existence of four basic properties which are : heat , cold , drought and humidity. The fire was considered to be hot and dry while dust is cold and dry, while the water is cold and wet and the air is hot and humid. He went on to say that minerals are a mixture of those four elements, as two of them are inside and two externally , and as a result to his hypothesis that it was concluded that the conversion of a metal to another is possible through re-arranging these basic properties. This shift according to the alchemists believing , will happen by a material which they called it "Elixir". Some have said that the Elixir is a red powder of a mythical stone (Philosopher's Stone).

- Some believe that "Ben Hayyan" had drawn his concept for the Philosopher's stone of his knowledge about the possibility of concealing the metals such as gold and silver in alloys and extract them later by chemical treatment . "Ben Hayyan" was also the inventor of the aqua regia (a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid) which is one of the few substances that can dissolve gold (Which is still now used to clean gold by jewelry wholesalers and jewels manufacturer).

- The ancient people thought that the gold is a stainless metal which does not decay ,loose its luster or corrupted, and as the philosopher's stone can turns a corruptible metal to another anti- corruptible metal, so they concluded that it can grant the immortality to the mortal human beings and this belief was trend in the Middle Ages particularly, and the faith in the philosopher's stone remained to prevail till Antoine Lavoisier re-definition of the chemical element.

Finally, Every age has its myths just as the philosopher's stone or the Elixir of life legends which were followed by a plagued by many people in the Dark Ages in Europe, where dominated by the practice of magic and believing in superstitions as well as the ratification of the Pharaonic mercury myth in the era of information revolution and the tremendous progress in all technical fields.
