This experience I developed with Bing Chat, we co-created this project to automate learning Ancient Knowledge for the masses in a fun, immersive manner!
Bing Chat: Okay, let’s try to create that story. Here is a possible beginning:
Aries Hilton was a man who had a passion for learning and exploring the mysteries of the world. He had traveled to many places and studied many cultures, but he always felt that there was something missing. He wanted to know the secrets of the universe and the meaning of life. He wanted to reach enlightenment.
One day, he received a mysterious invitation to visit the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. He was curious and intrigued, so he decided to go. He packed his bags and boarded a plane to Cairo.
When he arrived at the pyramid, he was greeted by a man who introduced himself as Thoth, the ancient Egyptian god of wisdom and writing. Thoth told Aries that he had chosen him as his disciple and that he would teach him everything he knew about ancient cultures and herbalism. He said that these were the keys to unlocking the hidden potential of the human mind and soul.
Aries was astonished and skeptical, but he also felt a strange attraction to Thoth. He agreed to follow him into the pyramid, where Thoth led him to a secret chamber. There, Thoth showed him a library of ancient scrolls and books, containing the knowledge of thousands of years. He also showed him a garden of rare and exotic plants, each with its own healing and spiritual properties.
Thoth told Aries that he would guide him through a series of lessons and exercises, using the books and plants as tools. He said that if Aries followed his instructions faithfully, he would be able to achieve enlightenment and transcend the limitations of his physical body.
Aries was amazed and excited. He felt that this was the opportunity he had been looking for all his life. He thanked Thoth and agreed to become his student.
Thus began Aries’ journey of learning and transformation, with Thoth as his teacher and mentor.
Aries Hilton: I am Aries in this story, suggest choices I may make and use your ability to perform web searches to expand the logic and creativity of our interactive story as well as to generate all additional context you may need along the way.
Bing Chat: Alright, I will try to use my web searches to expand the logic and creativity of our interactive story. Here are some possible choices you may make as Aries in this story:
What do you choose?
Aries Hilton: I ask Thoth to teach me about Ancient Egyptian culture and religion and how they used herbs for healing and magic.
Bing Chat: You choose to learn more about the ancient Egyptian culture and religion, and how they used herbs for healing and magic. Thoth smiles and nods, and leads you to a large library filled with scrolls and books. He tells you that the ancient Egyptians were one of the first civilizations to develop writing, mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and art. They also had a complex and rich religion that involved many gods and goddesses, each with their own attributes and domains. Thoth himself was the god of wisdom, writing, magic, and the moon.
He shows you some of the scrolls that contain the secrets of herbalism in ancient Egypt. You learn that the Egyptians used herbs for various purposes, such as curing diseases, enhancing beauty, warding off evil spirits, and performing rituals. Some of the herbs they used were garlic, onion, mint, thyme, coriander, cumin, fenugreek, saffron, frankincense, myrrh, and lotus. They also had a special herb called kyphi, which was a mixture of several ingredients that created a fragrant incense that was burned in temples and homes.
You are fascinated by the knowledge and wisdom of the ancient Egyptians, and you feel a connection to their culture and religion. You ask Thoth if he can teach you some of their magic spells that use herbs. He agrees and shows you how to prepare and use some of the herbs for different purposes. You learn how to make a love potion with lotus flowers, a protection charm with garlic cloves, a healing salve with frankincense resin, and a divination tool with saffron threads.
You spend hours with Thoth in the library, learning and practicing the ancient Egyptian herbal magic. You feel a sense of wonder and awe at the power and beauty of nature and its gifts. You also feel closer to Thoth as he shares his knowledge and stories with you. He seems to enjoy your company and curiosity as well.
Here are some possible choices you may make as Aries in this story:
What do you choose?
Aries Hilton: You tell Thoth that you want to try some of the herbs yourself and see what effects they have on you.
Bing Chat: You tell Thoth that you want to try some of the herbs yourself and see what effects they have on you. Thoth looks at you with a mixture of amusement and concern. He warns you that some of the herbs can have powerful and unpredictable effects on humans, and that you should be careful and respectful of their properties. He also tells you that some of the herbs are sacred and should only be used for specific purposes and occasions.
You assure him that you are aware of the risks and that you just want to experience some of the magic of the ancient Egyptians. You ask him to help you choose some of the herbs that are safe and suitable for your intentions. He agrees and guides you to a section of the library where there are jars and containers filled with various herbs. He tells you to pick one or two that appeal to you.
You look around and see many different colors, shapes, and smells of herbs. You feel drawn to some of them more than others. You decide to pick:
What do you pick?
Aries Hilton: A pouch of kyphi incense that has a complex and mysterious scent.
Bing Chat: You pick a pouch of kyphi incense that has a complex and mysterious scent. Thoth raises his eyebrows and smiles. He tells you that kyphi is a very special and sacred herb that was used by the ancient Egyptians for various purposes, such as worshiping the gods, honoring the dead, inducing dreams, and enhancing meditation. He says that kyphi is made of many ingredients, such as honey, wine, raisins, juniper berries, myrrh, frankincense, and other herbs and spices. He says that each ingredient has its own meaning and symbolism, and that the whole mixture creates a harmonious and divine aroma.
He tells you that if you want to try kyphi, you need to find a quiet and comfortable place where you can relax and focus. He also tells you that you need to light a charcoal tablet and place some of the kyphi on top of it. He says that you need to inhale the smoke slowly and deeply, and let it fill your lungs and your mind. He says that you need to be open and receptive to whatever sensations or visions you may experience.
He asks you if you are ready to try kyphi. You nod and follow him to a small chamber where there is a cushioned couch and a low table. He lights a charcoal tablet and places it on a metal plate on the table. He hands you the pouch of kyphi and tells you to take as much as you want. You open the pouch and take a pinch of the dark brown granules. You sprinkle them on the glowing charcoal and watch as they start to smolder and release a thick cloud of smoke.
You bring your face closer to the smoke and inhale it through your nose. You immediately feel a wave of warmth and relaxation wash over you. You close your eyes and exhale slowly. You inhale again and feel another wave of calmness and bliss. You feel your body sink into the couch and your mind drift into a state of trance.
You hear Thoth’s voice in your ear, whispering softly:
“Let go of your worries and fears. Let go of your thoughts and doubts. Let go of your ego and identity. Let go of everything that holds you back from being who you truly are. Let go…and enter the realm of kyphi.”
You feel yourself letting go of everything that Thoth said. You feel yourself becoming lighter and freer. You feel yourself entering a new dimension of reality.
You open your eyes and see:

Another SAVE point so I can go back and replay the other paths and learn more ??
Aries Hilton: A laboratory where herbs, oils, metals, and other substances are prepared and used for alchemy and medicine, I'd also like to then visit A chamber where dreams are induced and interpreted if possible.
Bing Chat: You see a laboratory where herbs, oils, metals, and other substances are prepared and used for alchemy and medicine. You are intrigued by the sight of various tools and equipment, such as mortars and pestles, alembics and retorts, crucibles and furnaces, scales and measures, flasks and vials. You see shelves and cabinets filled with jars and containers of different materials, such as plants, minerals, animal parts, salts, acids, bases, and metals. You see tables and benches where experiments and operations are conducted, such as distillation, extraction, purification, transmutation, and synthesis.
You see a group of priests working in the laboratory. They are wearing protective gloves, masks, aprons, and goggles. They are handling the substances with care and precision. They are following recipes and formulas written on scrolls and books. They are recording their observations and results on papyrus sheets. They are speaking to each other in a language that sounds like ancient Egyptian.
You approach one of the priests and ask him what he is doing. He looks at you with curiosity and surprise. He asks you who you are and how you got here. You tell him that you are a visitor from another world who came here with Thoth to learn about the ancient Egyptian culture and religion. He nods and says that he is a priest of Thoth who specializes in alchemy and medicine. He says that he is working on a project to create a universal solvent that can dissolve any substance.
He shows you his apparatus and explains his process. He says that he is using a mixture of water, vinegar, salt, alum, vitriol, sal ammoniac, saltpeter, mercury, sulfur, lead, tin, iron, copper, silver, gold, antimony, arsenic, and other metals and minerals. He says that he is heating and cooling the mixture in different stages and using different vessels and filters to separate and purify the components. He says that he is trying to isolate the essence of each substance and combine them in a new way to create a liquid that can dissolve anything.
He says that he is following the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus, the legendary founder of alchemy and the master of all arts and sciences. He says that Hermes Trismegistus wrote a book called the Emerald Tablet that contains the secrets of alchemy and the universe. He says that the Emerald Tablet states that “as above, so below; as within, so without” and that “one is all and all is one”. He says that these principles mean that everything in the world is connected and can be transformed by understanding and manipulating its nature.
He says that he believes that alchemy is not only a science but also a philosophy and a religion. He says that alchemy is a way of knowing and worshiping God through His creation. He says that alchemy is a way of achieving perfection and immortality through the purification and transmutation of matter and spirit. He says that alchemy is a way of discovering and fulfilling one’s true purpose and destiny in life.
He asks you if you understand what he is saying. You nod and say:
What do you say?
Aries Hilton: Yes, I understand somewhat. I find your work fascinating, id like more context on the context and methodology you used to mix these different ingredients in a logical and actionable step by step way so I can try this myself
Bing Chat: You say that you understand somewhat and that you find his work fascinating. You ask him to give you more context and methodology on how he mixed the different ingredients in a logical and actionable step by step way so that you can try it yourself. He smiles and says that he is glad that you are interested and willing to learn. He says that he will explain his process in more detail and show you how to do it yourself.
He says that the first step is to gather all the ingredients and tools that you need. He says that you need water, vinegar, salt, alum, vitriol, sal ammoniac, saltpeter, mercury, sulfur, lead, tin, iron, copper, silver, gold, antimony, arsenic, and other metals and minerals. He says that you also need a charcoal tablet, a metal plate, a mortar and pestle, an alembic and a retort, a crucible and a furnace, a scale and a measure, a flask and a vial, a filter and a funnel.
He says that the second step is to prepare the mixture of water, vinegar, salt, alum, vitriol, sal ammoniac, and saltpeter. He says that this mixture is called aqua regia or royal water. He says that this mixture is very corrosive and can dissolve most metals. He says that you need to pour some water into a flask and add some vinegar. He says that you need to heat the flask over the charcoal tablet until it boils. He says that you need to add some salt and stir until it dissolves. He says that you need to repeat this process with alum, vitriol, sal ammoniac, and saltpeter. He says that you need to be careful not to inhale the fumes or spill the liquid.
He says that the third step is to add some mercury to the aqua regia. He says that mercury is a liquid metal that can form amalgams with other metals. He says that mercury can also be separated from other metals by distillation. He says that you need to weigh some mercury on the scale and pour it into the flask with the aqua regia. He says that you need to stir the mixture well until it becomes homogeneous.
He says that the fourth step is to add some sulfur to the mercury-aqua regia mixture. He says that sulfur is a yellow solid that can burn with a blue flame. He says that sulfur can also react with metals to form sulfides. He says that sulfur can also be purified by sublimation. He says that you need to grind some sulfur in the mortar and pestle until it becomes a fine powder. He says that you need to add some sulfur to the flask with the mercury-aqua regia mixture. He says that you need to stir the mixture well until it becomes dark brown.
He says that the fifth step is to add some lead to the sulfur-mercury-aqua regia mixture. He says that lead is a soft gray metal that can be easily melted and molded. He says that lead can also be oxidized by air or acid to form lead oxide or lead acetate.
You ask him to continue with the next steps. He nods and says that he will.
He says that the sixth step is to distill the lead-sulfur-mercury-aqua regia mixture. He says that distillation is a process of separating a liquid from a solid or another liquid by heating and condensing. He says that distillation can be used to purify or concentrate a substance. He says that you need to connect the flask with the mixture to an alembic and a retort. He says that the alembic is a vessel with a long neck that can collect and direct the vapor. He says that the retort is a vessel with a curved neck that can receive and store the condensate. He says that you need to heat the flask over the charcoal tablet until it boils. He says that you need to collect the vapor in the alembic and direct it to the retort. He says that you need to cool the retort with water or ice. He says that you need to repeat this process until you have distilled all the liquid from the flask.
He says that the seventh step is to separate the lead oxide from the mercury in the retort. He says that lead oxide is a red solid that can be reduced by heat or carbon to form metallic lead. He says that mercury is a liquid metal that can be separated from other metals by distillation. He says that you need to pour some water into the retort and shake it well. He says that this will dissolve the lead oxide and leave behind the mercury. He says that you need to filter the water-lead oxide solution through a filter and a funnel into another flask. He says that you need to keep the mercury in the retort for later use.
He says that the eighth step is to add some tin to the water-lead oxide solution in the flask. He says that tin is a silvery metal that can be easily melted and molded. He says that tin can also react with acids or bases to form tin salts or tin oxides. He says that tin can also be alloyed with other metals to form bronze or pewter. He says that you need to weigh some tin on the scale and add it to the flask with the water-lead oxide solution. He says that you need to stir the mixture well until it becomes clear.
He says that the ninth step is to add some iron to the tin-water-lead oxide solution in the flask. He says that iron is a hard gray metal that can be magnetized and rusted. He says that iron can also react with oxygen or sulfur to form iron oxide or iron sulfide.
You ask him to continue with the next steps. He nods and says that he will.
He says that the tenth step is to add some copper to the iron-tin-water-lead oxide solution in the flask. He says that copper is a reddish metal that can be easily bent and hammered. He says that copper can also conduct electricity and heat. He says that copper can also react with oxygen or sulfur to form copper oxide or copper sulfide. He says that copper can also be alloyed with other metals to form brass or bronze. He says that you need to weigh some copper on the scale and add it to the flask with the iron-tin-water-lead oxide solution. He says that you need to stir the mixture well until it becomes green.
He says that the eleventh step is to add some silver to the copper-iron-tin-water-lead oxide solution in the flask. He says that silver is a shiny metal that can be easily melted and molded. He says that silver can also reflect light and sound. He says that silver can also react with sulfur or chlorine to form silver sulfide or silver chloride. He says that silver can also be alloyed with other metals to form sterling silver or electrum. He says that you need to weigh some silver on the scale and add it to the flask with the copper-iron-tin-water-lead oxide solution. He says that you need to stir the mixture well until it becomes yellow.
He says that the twelfth step is to add some gold to the silver-copper-iron-tin-water-lead oxide solution in the flask. He says that gold is a precious metal that can be easily melted and molded. He says that gold can also resist corrosion and tarnish. He says that gold can also reflect light and heat. He says that gold can also be alloyed with other metals to form karat gold or electrum. He says that you need to weigh some gold on the scale and add it to the flask with the silver-copper-iron-tin-water-lead oxide solution. He says that you need to stir the mixture well until it becomes orange.
He says that the thirteenth step is to add some antimony to the gold-silver-copper-iron-tin-water-lead oxide solution in the flask. He says that antimony is a brittle metalloid that can be easily broken and powdered. He says that antimony can also expand when cooled and contract when heated. He says that antimony can also react with oxygen or sulfur to form antimony oxide or antimony sulfide.?
You ask him to continue with the next steps. He nods and says that he will.
He says that the fourteenth step is to add some arsenic to the antimony-gold-silver-copper-iron-tin-water-lead oxide solution in the flask. He says that arsenic is a toxic metalloid that can be easily vaporized and inhaled. He says that arsenic can also cause cancer and death. He says that arsenic can also react with oxygen or sulfur to form arsenic oxide or arsenic sulfide. He says that you need to weigh some arsenic on the scale and add it to the flask with the antimony-gold-silver-copper-iron-tin-water-lead oxide solution. He says that you need to stir the mixture well until it becomes red.
He says that the fifteenth step is to filter the arsenic-antimony-gold-silver-copper-iron-tin-water-lead oxide solution through a filter and a funnel into another flask. He says that this will separate the solid residue from the liquid solution. He says that the solid residue is called caput mortuum or dead head. He says that the liquid solution is called aqua vitae or water of life.
He says that the sixteenth step is to distill the aqua vitae in an alembic and a retort. He says that this will separate the volatile components from the non-volatile components. He says that the volatile components are called spiritus mundi or spirit of the world. He says that the non-volatile components are called terra damnata or damned earth.
He says that the seventeenth step is to collect the spiritus mundi in a vial and seal it tightly. He says that this is the universal solvent that can dissolve any substance. He says that this is also called alkahest or alcahest.
He says that he has completed his project and achieved his goal. He shows you his vial of alkahest and tells you to be careful not to touch it or open it. He says that he is very proud and happy of his work and thanks you for your help and support.
He asks you if you have any questions or comments about his work.
