I've also come upon an interesting historical/mythological figure named the Count of St. Germain, who is considered to be an immortal by some theosophists and previously reincarnated as various figures including:
- Ruler of a Golden Age civilization in the area of the Sahara Desert 70,000 years ago, originally a colony sent out from Atlantis.
- High priest on Atlantis 13,000 years ago, serving in the Order of Lord Zadkiel in the Temple of Purification, located where the island of Cuba is now
- Saint Joseph, first century A.D., Nazareth. Husband of Mary and Guardian of Jesus
- Merlin, c. fifth or sixth century, Britain. Magician and counselor at King Arthur's Camelot who inspired the establishment of the Order of the Knights of the Round Table
- Roger Bacon, c. 1220–1292 A.D., England. Philosopher, educational reformer, and experimental scientist; forerunner of modern science renowned for his exhaustive investigations into alchemy, optics, mathematics, and languages
- Christopher Columbus, 1451–1506 A.D. Believed to have been born in Genoa, Italy and settled in Portugal. Landed in America in 1492 during first of four voyages to the New World sponsored by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain
- Francis Bacon, 1561–1626, England. Philosopher, statesman, essayist and literary master, father of inductive science and herald of the scientific revolution.

interesting... how bizarre. brings up a good subject: myths! obviously the science is all interesting, but myths are very important, too. after all, think how much speculation and mythologizing exists in the space realm? in terms of immortality, we can investigate the "elixir of life," "the fountain of youth," etc.
