Immortality.

Immortality is living forever. One of the myths that would allow that is the Fountain of Youth. It is a legendary spring that restores youth to anyone who drinks from it. Legends say that it is to be found in Florida. It is said that explorer Ponce de Leon went in search for the fountain in 1513, in Florida. Today near St.Augustine there is a Fountain of Youth Archeological Park. Everyone thought Florida because of native stories in the Caribbean of a restorative spring located north of the Bahamas. These native legends were combined with a popular story in Europe about a quest for a "Fountain of Life". The fountain myths came about from legends about healing waters in cultures around the world. From biblical stories of Jesus healing a man with water to legends in the Middle East and Asia of various healing springs, people have always talked about and quested for water that will restore youth and health. These legends were taken to a peak in 16th century Europe as the tales of the exploration of the "New World" entered into popular culture. In many ways we are still looking for the Fountain of Youth. Researchers and drug companies are searching for medications to make us live longer. The land that contained the alleged Fountain of Youth was called "Bimini," and it also supposedly held gold and riches.
