#OTD Birth of Jean-Jacques d'Ortous de Mairan, #French #Chronobiologist.
In 1729, Mairan proved that #Plants had a #Circadian rhythm by putting a #Mimosa pudica plant - the #Heliotrope - in constant darkness in a cupboard. Then he recorded the plant's natural rhythm of
opening & closing its leaves - even without access to #Sunlight.
Mairan's work established the foundation for #Chronobiology or the internal circadian clock.

Ancient magical #gem inscribed with the name Abrasax.
#Abrasax is one of the most frequently recorded higher powers in #ancient magic. Among other things, he is revered as the supreme #creator of the physical universe.
The numerical value of the seven #Greek letters of his name is 365, the number of days of the year:
A=1, B=2, R=100, A=1, S=200, A=1, X=60.
On the front side of the gem is a depiction of Abrasax with #snake legs and in armor.
#Heliotrope
2nd-4th c.
