I'm sure you're right about the ancient history of it. I was thinking in terms of the synthesis. How many alchemists were tasked with extracting 'the juice' from their victims? We may never know, but given what we know about royal families, I strongly suspect their motivation for paying alchemists to ply their trade came from the search for pure adrenochrome. But they would need a cover story to hide their crimes from anyone who might rise against them, so why not turn lead into gold? Maybe that's what they really were doing.....
I totally believe your entire post! Maybe it accelerated during Nazi era...or after famed “alchemist” Alistair Crowley (sp?). It’s so disgusting. ThanQ for your insight! GODSPEED
I can't imagine how many suffered at their hands.
