Fairy water and alunite water unearthed from the tomb of the Western Han Dynasty in Luoyang, what is this?

The immortal water alum stone water unearthed from the tombs of the Western Han Dynasty in Luoyang, about 3500 ml of liquid, was put in a bronze pot. Archaeologists thought it was wine at first, but later found it was not. The main ingredient was alunite water. Alum stone is the crystallization of mineral alunite after processing and refining.

It seems that this is really fairy water, which can cure all diseases. It's amazing that the Western Han Dynasty had such medical skills. According to reports, painted pottery pots, wild goose bronze lamps, hand warmers and so on. Found with bronze cans. Whether the liquid is wine has not been confirmed. The relevant research institute conducted a detailed sampling of the liquid in the copper pot, which proved that it was not wine, but it was not an elixir, because the effect of alum water was above, and the ancients would not be stupid enough to take medicines for treating general physical diseases casually.

According to archaeologists, the alum stone water unearthed from the Western Han Dynasty tomb in Luoyang is an elixir. Ancient alchemy includes water method and fire method. Water method begins with refining some liquids, which is a superstitious elixir. In order to successfully ascend to immortality, the ancients would try their best to refine many fairy medicines. This ettringite aqueous solution was extracted from saltpeter and ettringite by the ancients. Nitrite can be used as gunpowder, and ettringite was mainly put in water tanks in the original countryside, which made people clear but not turbid.

No matter how exquisite these two things are, they will certainly not be immortal. However, due to the lack of scientific and technological knowledge, the ancients couldn't think of a better way, so they could only refine it according to the methods handed down from generation to generation to solve their yearning for heaven and earth. This also shows that our ancestors are still very pursuing. After they have enough food and clothing, they have a dream of flying, which is really hard to get.
