Today, progress does not stand still. Various spheres of human life are rapidly developing. Everyone is waiting for big and grandiose discoveries, but nobody pays attention to successful, but small experiments. And if a few centuries ago they did not know how to amputate a leg, now they are creating artificial organs with might and main, and even children cannot be surprised by this.
But, one way or another, it all started small. The Middle Ages - this is the turning point when many brilliant alchemists and occultists laid the foundation for the development of modern medicine. Many associate the names of the most famous of them with something magical and not quite real. However, most of their designs were nothing more than experiments in the medical field.
What is a homunculus?
One such alchemist scientist from the Middle Ages was Paracelsus, a native of Germany. But he became famous for one of the most entertaining experiments not only of that time, but also of our time. Namely, the creation of a homunculus. Most of you, most likely, already heard this definition, but did not understand what it means.
A homunculus is a humanoid creature grown in artificial conditions. Even today it may seem fantastic, but if you believe people who have already successfully completed such an experiment, you can grow a homunculus even at home. In this article, we will tell you about the methods of growing these creatures, invented both by Paracelsus himself and by modern man.
How the doctor created "little people" Paracelsus
The fact is that completely repeating the Paracelsus experiment will not work for anyone. The alchemist created his wondrous creature in conditions that were available to him at the time of the Middle Ages, and therefore all records are quite abstract. So, he did not record a specific temperature for growing a half-human, and indeed all his actions are accurate. Like any other scientist (and he also called himself a magician), Paracelsus had his secrets, which he did not reveal to anyone at all. Therefore, how exactly he created his homunculus can only be guessed at or go on the path of his own experiments.
All that is known about how to grow a homunculus from our doctor is that you need to take a small vessel and fill it with sperm. Then the alchemist placed this vessel in horse manure, according to his records, for 40 days. After opening the flask and withdrawing from there a newly formed creature, it must be watered with human blood.
The doctor himself wrote that he did not need a homunculus for rites or magic. He wanted to feed him and raise him to the state of an ordinary little man. After reading the works of this outstanding alchemist, the question still arises for many today: is it possible to grow a homunculus yourself? Read the answer below.
How to grow a homunculus at home and is it possible?
It is not known whether it is possible to grow a full-fledged creature at home. People who have already set up such experiments shot videos about their achievements and uploaded them to the Internet. If you believe what you saw, then something similar to a living creature they still did. We suggest you conduct the experiment yourself and determine whether it will give a result. So, how to grow a homunculus at home?
What do you need?
You can try to grow a homunculus from a chicken egg. Take a small container and a chicken egg. Neither its color nor its size is completely unimportant, the main thing is that it should be freshly carried. Of course, eggs from the supermarket will not suit you.
You will also need alcohol and cotton wool (to disinfect the injection site), a band-aid, a syringe and male sperm. Even modern scientists confirm the fact that the seed plays a more important role in the development of the embryo than the egg.
You will also need a piece of dense matter (a hat or sweater, for example), and a warm place. Since the exact temperature in order to grow a homunculus is unknown, even a place near the central heating battery is suitable. We pass to the process.
How to grow a homunculus from an egg?
A hole must be made in the egg. Before this, the puncture site and the needle of the syringe must be disinfected so that the infection does not get inside, otherwise it threatens to spoil the whole process. It is quite difficult to make a hole in the shell and not damage it, so we recommend that you file a little bit in advance with a file or a nail file.
Now carefully inject the sperm into the egg. When inserted, the needle should practically not move inside. Part of the liquid may leak out, but this cannot be avoided, so you should not focus on this. Now, with a small piece of adhesive tape, you will need to seal the hole on the egg. You can not care about tightness, it is not so important. Now put the workpiece in a container and wrap it with a piece of dense fabric.
After which it is worth finding a suitable place for the future homunculus. Make sure that the workpiece is stationary all the time, and no one can touch it or knock it over. Growing time can vary from 10 days to 40, different numbers indicate different numbers, according to former experimenters, the process could end at different times. We suggest you choose something in between.
