Again a new post in the series dedicated to Spanish videos with Spanish subtitles (in my opinion, one of the best ways to “train the ear”). This time, I present to you a new video from the Spanish TV program Cuarto Milenio (many thanks for pointing out your preferences in this respect in you comments!).
The topic of this video is the ancient philosophical, proto-scientific practice known as “alchemy” (in Spanish: alquimia
). What is alchemy? What is its relationship with modern chemistry? What were the alchemists looking for?
