Standard Model of Alchemy

The alchemists' periodic table (circa 1500). This model became obsolete when in the late 1700s Joseph Priestley and Antoine Lavoisier gave the correct explanation of burning, that water is made up of two elements (hydrogen and oxygen), etc.

Maybe.. There are a shitton of interpretations but that's one of them I've found. Think in some text by Paracelsus. Obviously not named as such but separation into the different elements through distillation; first air as gas then water as vapour, fire as combustion and earth as the remaining ashes.
