THE SINO-INDIAN ORIGIN OF CHEMEIA AND CHUMEIA AS SYNONYMS
IN GREK, SIGNIFYING ALCHEMY
S. MAHDIHASSAN
3813 Courtleigh Drive, Randallstown, Maryland 21123, United states America. ABSTRACT: In China the antecedent of alchemy is represented by the god of longevity emerging from the peach. The first synthetic drug, Kim-Yeh, red colloidal gold, signified gold-cum –herbal juice. Kim-Yeh=Kimiya (Arabic) =chemeia (Greek). Translated this gave Chrusozomion=Gold Ferment, specifying the drug. Rasayana was translated as Chumeia, herbal juice-incorporate and signified the art alchemy. Chemeia was Chinese and Chumeia, Indian. Originally each signified both, a drug of longevity and the art, alchemy. Finally the art of making red gold was misunderstood as the art of making gold itself.
