Back to the list of natural wonders in Civ6
- "Chyavana, desirous of obtaining beauty, quickly entered into the water. The twin Aswins also, O King, sank into the sheet of water. And the next moment, they all came out … in surpassingly beautiful forms, and young."

Civilopedia entry
The Fountain of Youth of legend is less of a cement or stone fountain, and more of a spring said to restore the youth of anyone who drinks or swims in it. The trusty Herodotus wrote about the fountain in the 5th century BC, and Alexander the Great allegedly found a healing river a hundred years later. Unfortunately, neither of them bottled up any of the water to help them later on in life when old age and wounds respectively took them to Hades. Over countless centuries, the myth persisted, and explorers such as Juan Ponce de Leon spent countless years searching for the mystical spring. If anyone has found it, they haven’t shared the secret with the world.
Trivia
- There is one unused quote for this natural wonder in the game files:
- "There was a fountain with water of such power that one might even call it a fountain of life, since life was renewed, not merely strengthened, within its wave. If a man dipped a flower in it, though never so faded and withered, perfume, freshness, and color at once returned."
