THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH

A mythological water source with the power of granting eternal youth
The fountain of youth is a mythical spring that is supposed to have the power of prolonging or restoring the youth of those who drink water from it or bathe in it. Myths of such fountain are to be found in various cultures, particularly throughout the middle east. the first recorded mention of it from the ancient Greek historian HERODOTUS (484-435 BCE) who recounted a claim that there was such a magical fountain in Ethiopia.
In the middle ages stories about the fountain of youth circulated in the Islamic world and then spread to such European works as “THE TRAVEL OF SIR JOHN MANDEVILLE” (c.1356 BCE) in the sixteenth century, the Spanish historian PETER MARTYR D’ANGHIERA who wrote early accounts of the European exploration of the new world, reported a native story of this miraculous fountain
“THE ONLY BATH IN THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH WOULD BE……TO POSSES OTHER EYES”
Origin of Fountain of Youth
On an island in the gulf of Honduras an inlet of the Caribbean sea while the explorer JUAN ...

PONCHE DE LEON was indeed given a character to discover and setup a legendary island (BENINY OR BEMEIMENI) the popular idea that he sort the fountain of youth there seems to have been invented by the sixteenth century historian GONZALO FERNANDEZ DE OVIEDO, who maliciously added that PONCE DE LEON hope to cure his impotence. However the story about his search for the fountain persists as a historical myth.
Some Popular Theme
Few people take the story of the fountain of youth seriously today but it still remains a popular theme in literature and arts (such as DARREN ARONOFSKY’S FILM THE FOUNTAIN, 2006) or (PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN ON STRANGER TIDES). It is also inevitable as a metaphor in discussing the modern concerns of prolonging lifespans and reducing the effects of aging.
So we can say that the Holly Spring has been depicted many times in the movies as well as books in various forms but still none of us are able to conclude whether or not there is a fountain that may provide an eternal youth. A similar story related to the Holly spring goes as-
If you drink water of fountain from the glass of somebody else then the person will die giving the last few years of his life to you, but all of these things are just legends which are running from ages some people also believe that the lost city of Atlantis also had a fountain of youth but it mystically disappeared into the waters but if somebody finds the lost city of Atlantis he’ll be able to get eternal youth.
