Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Substance discovered by folks that called it alum or aluminum for literally five centuries then the Brits come galloping in to colonize the accepted name then try to look down on everyone else
Then they stole all their ancient artefacts to put in their own museums.
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
It is really weird how you agreed with me and yet still said I was wrong.
Yeah, sarcasm mate
