Who is homunculus and how to create it at home

How many modern people know who the homunculus is? This is an artificially created man, a creature grown outside the womb of the mother. The question of how to create a homunculus, always excited the ancient alchemists. Some of them even claimed that they had succeeded. Arguing about this, alchemists often turned to the dark forces for help. This gave birth to a lot of myths and legends.

How to make a homunculus: is it possible or not?

The peak of the popularity of the idea of artificial people fell on the era of the discovery of spermatozoa. It was about four hundred years ago. At that time science was less developed than it is now, and spermatozoons were endowed with scientists with all kinds of properties that were not inherent in them. For example, according to one theory, it was believed that there are other spermatozoa inside the sperm, and in those - more and more. That they are something like fractals. Medieval scientists thought that if you feed sperm with blood, then a man will grow from them.

The picture below shows how the medieval scientists represented people inside the sperm.

When the alchemists published such ideas, it gave rise to fear and hatred of scientists among the common people.

Up to this day, it has not been possible to grow a man from a spermatozoon outside the female body. The thing is that it is artificially unusually difficult to recreate the conditions of the mother's womb. Despite the fact that science has moved far ahead, there are people who believe in the success of creating an artificial person.

Experiments on the creation of homunculi

Modern curious people are still searching in old books for information about who the homunculus is, reading texts describing the experiments of alchemists. In the Internet there is a lot of conflicting information about this. Now, having learned who a homunculus is, let us consider the experiments that our ancestors tried to create.

One of the Spanish scholars, who lived in the XIII century, judging by the records, managed to produce such a creature in the light. Many of the then scientists tried to repeat his experiment. It was believed that the secret of success is the proper selection of the starting materials, which then need to be heated to the optimum temperature. With all the conditions in the bulb life began. There were legends that homunculi can live only in certain specific conditions, and they feed on human blood. When all the recommendations were implemented, homunculus growth was predicted to be up to 30 cm in length over a period of 40 days. Many experiments of those days required magnets and horse manure as raw materials and tools.

Paracelsus

Alchemist and physician from Switzerland Paracelsus, who lived at the beginning of the XVI century, was a recognized specialist in the creation of artificial people. He made notes about who the homunculus was and how to conduct the experiment to create it, but he did not encrypt the records to those who should not.

Recipe it was still possible to decipher:

1. First you need to put the semen in a glass flask. The flask is clogged and buried in manure for 40 days.
2. Through the allotted time, the flask is removed and magnetized. How exactly magnetization takes place is not known for certain. At this time the homunculus acquires the signs of a person.
3. At the third stage, when a magical rite was performed, the flask opened and the birth of an artificial man took place.
4. From that moment on, people began to feed him with human blood. All this time the flask had to be heated to the temperature of the human body.
5. After 40 weeks, if everything was done correctly, a real infant of a small size was obtained from the demonic creation.

Paracelsus and his colleagues believed that homunculi from childhood knew the secrets of the creation of the world, and they share these secrets with those who created them.

We make a homunculus at home

To carry out the experiment to grow the homunculus, we need a sperm and a bird's egg. The egg will replace the nutrient medium of the female egg, it has enough different substances for the development of the body.

Before you make a homunculus, except for these ingredients, take:

• Syringe.
• Thick fabric.
• Alcohol for disinfection.

The order of the experiment:

1. We collect sperm in a syringe.
2. In the egg shell, carefully make a hole with a needle and inject the sperm into the syringe.
3. We seal the hole in the shell with adhesive plaster or tape.
4. We put the egg in a tightly closed jar, for example, from under coffee, and leave in a warm place. As a warm place you can use a radiator.
5. Leave the bank for a period of 5 to 14 days.
6. Now it remains to wait and hope that you can see with your own eyes who the homunculus is.

Interesting information

Some believe that homunculi do not have a certain gender. This is not true. There are gender characteristics of these beings.

These artificially produced organisms have an underdeveloped nervous system and muscles.

Homunculi are not receptive to light.

The first known homunculus story was born in 1534.

Tales in which, perhaps, homunculi are mentioned: "Thumbelina", "Boy with a finger", "Kotygoroshko".

In Goethe's famous work Faust, Mephistopheles creates a homunculus in the laboratory.

Repeat whether these eccentric experiences - you decide.
