The use of cinnabar as a red pigment (vermillion) dates back a very long time indeed.
However, without finding actual mercury at some ancient site, it is simply pure speculation that any ancient culture as old as the Vinca obtained mercury from cinnabar, although they certainly could have.

Well, seeing as how the vinca were the first metal using culture, they mined and smelted copper ore, and they mined cinnabar i would say it is almost a certainty they were familiar with mercury.

I'm talking about cinnabar!
en.m.wikipedia.org...
Cinnabar has been used for its color in the New World since the Olmec culture.[15] Cinnabar was used in royal burial chambers during the peak of Maya civilization, most dramatically in the Tomb of the Red Queen in Palenque (600–700 AD), where the remains of a noble woman and objects belonging to her in her sarcophagus were completely covered with bright red powder made from cinnabar.
Looking for a more dragon blood connection, but it speaks for itself symbolically. If I find it it will be worthy if another thread... Wish me luck.
Now... what might the maya have called it?...

In both Mesoamerica and South America, cinnabar was an important trade item. The Mayan may have considered cinnabar to be sacred because of its red color. Red was considered to be the color of the east, and may also have symbolized blood as well as life, though there is no solid evidence for this.
The ancient Maya used cinnabar in their jewelry, set into incised decorations, as a paint pigment and as part of certain rituals such as funeral rituals and rituals involving fire. For rituals involving fire, Mayan priests would burn cinnabar to release the mercury.
Anyone speak ancient mayan?

Such words as "atomic nuclei", "extraterrestrial space," "magnetic fields" and "earth's gravitational field" sound like references to something far more exotic than rockets or atomic bombs. In the below photograph, Debus is in his newly found honorable position of authority on the far left. No doubt, the harmless grandfatherly type. In fact, this black project conducted in scalar physics within the Reich was certainly strange, as one of the main ingredients in this ceramic dual centrifuge, which was, not surprisingly,the speciality of the strangely silent and aforementioned Nobel scientist, Dr Gerlach who speciality was "the fluorescence of mercury ions in a strong magnetic field" In other words, the behavior of a mercuric plasma, or the spin of ionised mercury. Dr Samuel Cohen, the inventor of the neutron bomb was also deeply concerned about this legendary "red mercury" many decades later, considering it would make, when irradiated, a jell like substance, that is potentially, in effect, a portable neutron bomb. At that time the concern was focused on Russia.

Thanks for that...
Still might not be scientific enough for the naysaying mainstream hugging members though...

For a physical object to pass through yes! But what of a spirit being able to magnetically shape metallic glowing gas particles by coming through the void that permeates all things and taking form of apparition?

In that case, I suppose it depends on what you mean by "wormhole."
I typically go with the generally accepted definition.
If there were such a thing as a spirit, or a demon or any of that, then in my opinion they wouldn't need what is generally referred to as a "wormhole."
Maybe if you called it a "spirithole..."
And you are quite right. This isn't rocket science. Or any other kind.

Nice!
Influenced by the new world? The Americas?
