In this series, we recreate recipes from a 16th-century Indian alchemical treatise, the Rasaprakāśasudhākara (The Nectar Mine Light on Mercury). In its eleventh chapter, this text describes the making of alchemical gold and silver, pearls and coral.
This experiment focusses on a recipe for making copper look like gold. The video shows our renewed (and ultimately failed!) attempt at recreating the recipe. We are revisiting the recipe here, and our initial discussions and attempts can be seen on this video: youtu.be/UKQW8nDq2sA
For this video, please also see the accompanying blog: ayuryog.org/blog/aurifiction-revisited
A collaboration of AyurYog (ayuryog.org) and neterapublishing (neterapublishing.com).
This project was made possible through funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No.639363.
