Cool narrative you got there mate, problem is while the term "alum" was used for (far more than) 5 centuries, the words "aluminium" and "aluminium" were both coined around the same time, roughly 1810ish. Also, Sir. Davy, who coined the phrase that you hold dear, was British.

Tldr: every part of that statement is wrong
