Democritus, is perhaps one of the most well-known Greek philosophers, who lived from c. 460 - c. 37, born in the region of Abdera, in Greece. He is best known for inventing the theory of the atom. He said that once we die, our atoms, which have come together, disperse and turn into some other object or being. This, even though it may sound philosophical, also is incredibly scientifically accurate. Our atoms decompose and turn into the earth, only later to turn into a plant, or maybe a living creature.

Hope this helps!

Democritus was an ancient Greek philosopher who proposed that everything in the universe is made up of tiny particles called atoms that are indestructible and eternal. He believed that these atoms are constantly in motion and combine to form all matter in the world. Democritus's ideas laid the foundation for modern atomic theory.
