13. Hapgood, Dolphin and Rennell were focused on gold (100 per cent pure) and glass (tektites). It is interesting to note that the ancient Egyptians believed that gold and glass were part of the alchemist’s trade. ‘In the ancient world alchemy was referred to simply as “the sacred art.” It flourished in the first three centuries AD in Alexandria, where it was the combined product of glass and metal technology, a Hellenistic philosophy of the unity of all things through the four elements (earth, air, water, fire), and “occult” religion and astrology. How the technology of coloring glass and goldsmithing – kept secret in certain families -became involved with esoteric philosophy is a long story’ Maybury-Lewis, p. 183.
