What do you need to make a homunculus. What do you need to make a homunculus. How to grow a homunculus at home: myths and reality. Video about the homunculus from the egg

If now a scientific and industrial breakthrough in all spheres of human life is taken for granted, in the Middle Ages even a small discovery received a lot of admiring applause. Scientists in their hard work, received results that were ahead of their time. Medicine and the study of living organisms are the main areas of research that the doctor from Switzerland was engaged in Paracelsus. The famous experience by which this alchemist in 1534 artificially created a living being - homunculus. This discovery put his name on the list of the most talented researchers of that era. Read below for information on how to make a homunculus, that is what this organism was called, at home and how to care for it.

How to grow a homunculus

Are you intrigued and want to create a "little man" of your own? First, let's dive into the theory and talk about how Paracelsus and his follower Count von Kuffstein created their homunculi.

Recipe of Paracelsus(the first experiment was made in 1534):

  1. Place the male seed in a retort or cork.
  2. Place the vessel in a warm and dark place (the alchemist used horse manure for the experiment, which he poured with a special liquid).
  3. After 7-10 days, remove the plug from the manure.
  4. The resulting organism is fed with human blood.
  5. After 40 days, the growth of the creature reaches 30-32 cm, and the homunculus is able to recognize its creator.

Count von Kuffstein's recipe(the first experiment was made in 1775):

  1. The male semen is placed in bovine fat and then in a jug.
  2. For 20 days, the vessel is buried in horse manure.
  3. Within three weeks, the dung should be watered with hot water (feces begin to ferment and have an average temperature of +15 ⁰С).
  4. Dig pitchers out of manure. At this stage, the homunculi range in height from 19 to 21 cm (the Count himself has successfully grown 10 homunculi).
  5. With proper care and nutrition, creatures reach a height of up to 35 cm.

How to make a homunculus at home

The general idea of ​​how to create a domestic homunculus for yourself is a simple principle: the seed from the male takes the strength of the female egg. Based on this, we can conclude that a homunculus at home can only be obtained from an egg (you can read the full instructions below).

There is another way. It does not require complex devices that scientists use in genetic engineering, so this method can be categorized as "at home":

  1. A cow or a sheep is artificially inseminated.
  2. The female is sung with the blood of another animal.
  3. After 3 weeks, the cow is killed, and the small fetus is placed in a vessel with the mother's blood.

Impressed? We want to upset - most likely, this information is not true. And the text was taken from the memoirs " cow book”, which were written in the 12th century in one of the Arab countries.

In this video clip, Anton will conduct a short video tutorial in which he will show the process of creating a homunculus from an ostrich egg, and will give useful practical advice:

Homunculus from a chicken egg

Here we come to the most interesting - creating a homunculus from a chicken egg. In a chicken egg (although in fact any material is suitable for this method - from quail eggs to ostrich) has all the necessary substances necessary for the successful development of the future organism.

So what we need:

  • Chicken egg (attention, the egg must be freshly laid, and the chicken was kept separate from the rooster).
  • Male seed (the basis of the future homunculus).
  • Syringe (for introducing the seed into the yolk).
  • Thick fabric.
  • Alcohol (to disinfect the surface of the egg and syringe needle).

A step-by-step recipe for creating a homunculus from a chicken egg:

  1. Preparing the seed.
  2. Make a small hole in the egg shell. We inject sperm with a syringe (fertilization).
  3. We seal the hole with tape (to avoid replenishment of harmful bacteria to the fetus).
  4. We place the egg in a tightly closed dish, which we wrap with a cloth.
  5. The resulting “package” is placed in a warm environment (in winter, a central heating battery is ideal for this) for a period of 5 days to 2 weeks.

Creature details

A homunculus obtained from an egg can have a different mass, size and shape. It all depends on the genetics of a particular person. Yes, yes ... after all, the resulting creature is your "continuation".

Let's take a closer look at all the information that is useful for caring for the "little man":

  • Many believe that the creature is asexual. This is not true, and like humans, they have different gender characteristics.
  • In the body are full-fledged physiological processes. Homunculi sleep, eat food, etc.
  • There are elements of ingenuity and intuition in the behavior.
  • Not too developed, but present, the nervous system and muscle mass.
  • There is no discomfort from both street light and any other lighting device.

How else did they try to make a homunculus in ancient times

From time immemorial, people have wanted to artificially grow a living organism that has signs of intelligence. Now scientists are successfully cloning animals.

In the near future, with the help of the DNA of the remains of the organism, it will be possible to grow extinct species of plants and animals. Consider, how homunculi were grown in ancient times:

  • Mandrake. The shape of the root of this plant always has an unusual shape. In his form, one could easily see parts of a person - legs, arms and head. Different peoples had various potions and spells that could turn the mandrake root into a living being.
  • horse hair. The mare's hair breaks out and rubs near the genitals (all this must be done during estrus). The hair was thrown into a jug of water and placed in a dark and inaccessible place. After 10 days, a small creature resembling a small worm will float at the bottom of the vessel.

  1. The first homunculus was grown in Switzerland in 1534 by the physician and philosopher Paracelsus.
  2. There are many fairy tales and stories in the world related to small creatures that were born outside the box:
  • Tom Thumb- from a cabbage stalk.
  • Thumbelina - from a flower bud.
  • Kotigoroshko - from a pea .
  1. In Goethe's most famous tragedy "Faust", Mephistopheles creates a small man - a homunculus - in a flask in the laboratory.
  2. During the Second World War, Hitler dreamed of creating an obedient creature capable of killing the enemy. After the war, the American leadership took scientists to Argentina, where research continued. The fruits of labor became the basis of a new science - transplantology, thanks to which the possibility of transplanting human organs appeared.

Having learned how to make a homunculus, the most curious will repeat the experience, and we are sure they will get a positive result.

For the rest, who doubt this fantastic idea, we want to inform you that the followers of Paracelsus were both in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and they still exist in our time.

But many now think that this is all fake, the link is an article with the rationale for this.

Video lesson: making a homunculus from an egg

In this step-by-step video tutorial, the famous alchemist Arkady Mamontov will tell and show how to grow a homunculus in a chicken egg from his seed, what you need for this:

First of all, it is worth mentioning that during its heyday, alchemy existed in the form of two sections of "high alchemy" and "applied" - adherents of high despised adherents of applied for the mundane nature of their aspirations (the notorious search for gold, wealth and attempts to attach themselves to the court of those who hold power), and in fact, "high alchemy" was closer to religious philosophy than to chemistry in the modern world. The area of ​​interest of high alchemy includes the knowledge of the essence of being and matter and the search for the philosopher's stone (it should be noted that the philosopher's stone was a substance capable of transforming all aspects of life to their ideal prototype - to heal diseases of the body and soul, to give immortality, etc. And the ability to transform metals into gold was, from their point of view, nothing more than a cure for the diseases of metals and was by no means the goal of the "great work"!). To create a stone, from the point of view of the adepts of alchemy, it was first necessary to understand the essence of life and being in general, and for this, experiments were made with the creation of life (initially, this was the point of contact between alchemy and Kabbalah, which, according to legends, gave initiates the power to revive clay golems with the power of true words, such an approach shared high alchemy, for which the homunculus was more like a helper spirit or something similar, and not a baby from a test tube and was created from inanimate matter and energy.) - further experiments with homunculi shifted to the plane of applied alchemy (various instructions, spells, etc. .p. methods designed for a wide range of people) and ceased to interest high adherents - they fundamentally refused such a popularization of their art and wrote all treatises in the most symbolic language, closed to the uninitiated.

From a scientific point of view, the methods of creating a homunculus that have spread among the inhabitants are a relic of the medieval theory of the formation of an embryo (animalculism) - according to it, the rudiments of all organs are collected from each organ into a sperm cell and form a ready-made embryo in it, and the female body is needed only as an incubator. Thus, "practical" alchemists tried to replace the female body in this process with a retort and, with the help of various manipulations with spells and nutrient medium, make those same embryos grow. (in this regard, the similarity of many instructions for such a creation of a homunculus and instructions for breeding basilisks is interesting!)

Not a single documented creation of a homunculus naturally exists, although many famous scientists and alchemists are credited with their creation (Villanova, Paracelsus and even Newton!), but attention to matters of life and death is indeed characteristic of many alchemists throughout the history of this discipline, as well as characteristic of popular rumor - therefore, the creation of homunculi is very widely covered in the literature. If you are interested in this, I can advise you to turn to the primary sources in search of amusing stories and instructions ("The Golem" by Gustav Meyrink regarding the Kabbalistic approach, "Faust" by Goethe + translated books on alchemy, etc.)

Alchemists are probably one of the most difficult professions to build. A huge responsibility is placed on the shoulders of an experienced alchemist, and with the advent of homunculi, responsibility for a tamed animal has also been added. If, of course, to be precise, then not tamed, but created by the alchemist himself. At first, the homunculi carried out only simple commands, and with the advent of an additional file in the Ragnarok game folder, the process of controlling the homunculi became a whole science. To help you understand this issue, we have created this guide.

Previously, alchemists did not have such happiness to raise their pet, but with one of the additions, quest skills appeared in all classes. Unlike other classes, alchemists received several skills at once, or rather a branch of skills for homunculi. First you need to complete a small Bioethics quest in order for this skill tree to open. We have already described obtaining this quest skill, but we will repeat it here again so that everything is in one place.

Required for: Call Homunculus
Requirements: Bioethics(Lv. 1)
Class: Auxiliary
Max. level: 1
Description: Sends the Homunculus to rest.

Required for: Resurrect Homunculus
Requirements: Rest Lv. one
Class: Auxiliary
Max. level: 1
SP Consumption: 10
An object: To myself
Description: Summons an already created Homunculus, or creates a new one (provided that the old gom is removed) using an Embryo. When used, the Embryo creates a Homunculus at random from 4 types. If you don't like this type of Homunculus, destroy it and create a new one.

Requirements: Call Homunculus(Lv. 1)
Class: Auxiliary
Max. level: 5
SP Consumption: 80 - Skill Level*6
An object:
Description: Resurrects a dead Homunculus.

All these quest skills appear after completing one simple quest.
First we fly to the city of Lighthuisen. If you have never been there, then you can get there in the following way: First we fly to Gefen, then to Aldebaran, then to Yuno, then to Yuno we find the Airport on the left side, and go to the right derezhable (flies between 4 cities, including and Lighthuisen), we are waiting for our stop and exit in the grode.
Next, we head to the building, approximately in the center of the city, in order to buy two things for the quest: Geek Glasses (Stupid glasses) and Grampa Beard (Gray mustache). In the building (in the picture below), you need to go up to the top floor and buy these two items from the clown.

We put on glasses and a mustache, leave the building and head to the upper left part of the city. We find there a large building with two entrances and go inside.

Inside the building, unfortunately, the minimap does not work, but approximately you need to go to the upper left and find the NPC shown in the picture below.

In the second room, in the upper left corner, we find the NPC Kellasus (Kellasus).

We speak with him several times until he becomes annoyed with us (the phrase will be repeated).
Further in the same room, a little lower, we find the NPC Skrajjad (Skrayad).

We speak with him several times and go to the next NPC Keshibien (Keshibi). You can find it in the same room on the left side.

We talk with Keshibien and he will ask us to find Broncher "a in the Lighthausen hotel. We leave the room and from the building and head to the hotel in the city of Lighthausen. It is located just above the central kaffir.

Entering the hotel, we head to the restaurant, it is located in the right room. In the center of the restaurant, near the tables, we find NPC Broncher and talk to him.

Broncher will tell us a little about the homunculi and send us back to Kellasus (NPC in the corner of the room). We return to the large building in the upper left part of the city, find the NPC with whom we spoke earlier and continue the conversation. Here we will have a small task waiting for us. Kellasus will ask three questions and the answers to these questions will need to be entered manually. All questions are answered below:

1. Vaporize
2. Embryo
3. Homunculus Resurrection

If you have a completely Russian game client, then the answers will be as follows:

1. Rest
2. Embryo
3. Resurrect Homunculus

Inside the house we find Koring "and in the left room.

We talk with the boy, after which we return back to Kellasus "and after talking with him we get a line of quest skills. Please note that at the end you need to talk to NPC Kellasus several times until the Bioethics skill glows green.

First of all, you need to pump the Prepare Potion (Pharmacy) skill, since the homunculus is brewed like a regular potion.
Next, we go to Aldebaran to the guild of alchemists, since all the necessary ingredients can be bought there.
NPC Material Seller sells Morning Dew of Yggrasil, Seed of Life and Glass Tube. You can buy the Medicine Bowl in the same room.

And so, in order to cook a homunculus, you will need the following ingredients:

Seed of Life: 1 pc.
Morning Dew of Yggdrasil: 1 pc.- Purchased from the NPC Material Seller in the Alchemist Guild.
Seperation Tubes: 1 pc.- Purchased from the NPC Material Seller in the Alchemist Guild.
Medicine Bowl: 1 pc.- Bought from an NPC in the Alchemist's Guild.
Potion Creation Manual: 1 pc.- Can be bought from the Alchemists Guild, but usually this book is given after completing quests.

When all the ingredients are on hand, simply click on the Prepare Potion (Pharmacy) skill and select from the menu that opens.

In general, cooking a homunculus can take more than one million zens from you. Firstly, you just need to cook a homunculus, secondly, you need to cook exactly the one you want, thirdly, you need to immediately look at the stats of the homunculus, since the homunculus may not be very successful. Read more about each of these points later in the guide.

If successful, a small egg with a future homunculus will appear in the inventory.

Paired homunculi of the same species differ only in appearance.

After you have cooked the homunculus you need, you should look at its initial stats, as this also plays a very important role. For example, in the end, you may not achieve any bonus to the stats. Below we will provide several tables for each type of homunculus with an average stat value. If your stats are very similar or even more, then consider yourself lucky. If your initial stats are noticeably lower, especially key ones, then you should think about removing the homunculus and creating a new one. The tablets contain English names, so we will explain them a little.

  • GROWTH- shows how much is the minimum and how much is the maximum you can get stats for every 10 levels.
  • base stat- the parameters of your goma at birth.
  • Stats at 99 (blue cell)- shows the final stats for the 99th level.

The table on the right shows the average value of the stats for every 10 levels.

Any homunculus must be fed. Your pet's satiety level can be seen in the homunculus information window (Alt+r).

First, let's figure out what to feed each type of homunculus:

  • - Zargon (purchased in Gefen, shop in the lower left corner of the city)
  • Filter- Garlet (purchased in Gefen, shop in the lower left corner of the city)
  • Life- Pet Food (purchased in Prontera, the seller is a little to the right of the forge in the city center)
  • - Scell ​​(purchased in Gefen, shop in the lower left corner of the city)

Now you need to understand exactly when to feed your pet, as this also has a very important role. Feeding increases affection to the master, feed your pet when hunger reaches 11-25 points inclusive (no more, no less) to get a maximum of 1 point to affection. If you forget to feed the pet - his affection will begin to decline very quickly, if affection falls below 0 - the Homunculus leaves the master.

Each feed satisfies 10 hunger points, for every minute of your online pet hunger increases by 1 point.

The Homunculus also uses emotions to warn the owner of his condition:

Attachment is a very important parameter of the Homunculus. Attachment is needed to evolve and unlock the last skill. Attachment is not affected by player death, homunculus death, or use of the Rest (Vaporizing) skill. Attachment is reduced if you feed the homunculus at 75 or more satiety, or forget to feed at all. If you can no longer summon a Homunculus with the Call Homunculus skill, then the Homunculus has abandoned his master.

The number of attachment points is not displayed in the information window about the Homunculus, but there is a graph of the relation (status) of the Homunculus to the master:

To find out the exact amount of attachment, you need to enter the command /hominfo or @hominfo.

With each level, the Homunculus receives an increase to each stat (STR, INT, DEX, AGI, VIT, LUK) depending on the type of Homunculus. These stats cannot be viewed in the Homunculus info window (Alt+R), it only shows ATK, MATK, HIT, CRITICAL, DEF, MDEF, FLEE, and ASPD. You can calculate stats using the formulas below or using

ASPD= 200 - (Delay/10) + ( + ) / 10

Below will be presented the weight of the main commands to control your homunculus.

  • Alt + Right mouse click- Indicate Homunculus target
  • Alt + Double Right Mouse Click- Attack the monster
  • Alt + T - Passive mode- Cancel all previously issued commands and return to the master
  • Alt + Right mouse click on the ground- Order Homunculus to move to the given cell (range - 15 cells)
  • Alt + Shift + Left Click- By clicking on an empty cell, you put it in the "list of sequential actions" of the homunculus, so you can plot the route of the homunculus on the screen
  • Alt + Shift + Right Click- By clicking on the target, you put it in the "list of sequential actions" of the homunculus, so you can set a list of visible targets
  • Alt+R- Information window about Homunculus

Homunculi also have such an interesting function as "friendship" of a homunculus with another homunculus or another player. In this case, the homunculus will attack and defend the target with which he made friends. In order to make a homunculus friends with another player, you must press Alt + right mouse button on the desired target. At the same time, the homunculus will run up to his new friend, circle around him and continue to follow him. If you, your homunculus, or another player dies, the friendship is broken. If friendship plays a very important role for you, then you can make sure that friendship does not break even after death. To do this, you need to do the following operations:

  • Open the AI.lua file, search for the line
    FriendList_Clear()
    change to
    FriendList_Load()
  • Open the file util.lua, look for the function FriendList_Load ()
    there the line Friends = tonumber (ln)
    change to Friends = tonumber (ln)

In order to cancel the friendship, you must repeat the operation Alt + right click on another player or homunculus.

The homunculus, like your main character, needs to be downloaded and at first you will have to repeat your path from novis to chemist. But the homunculus is certainly more intelligent and pumping will take much less time. Do not forget that the homunculus receives skill points that can be spent on pumping new skills. Press alt + r and go to the tab with kills, where we actually pump skills.

Below we will give a small list of who is best to download, so that you do not have any difficulties.

When the monster is killed by the Homunculus alone:

The master gains all base experience, but does not receive job experience for killing a monster.
Homunculus gains all base experience for killing a monster.

If the player kills a monster and the Homunculus deals no damage:

The player receives all base and job experience for killing a monster.
The homunculus gains no experience at all.

If both the player and the Homunculus were involved in killing the monster:

The player gains 125% base experience from the monster.
The player receives a part of the job experience, depending on the damage dealt by the player to the monster.
The homunculus gains a portion of experience from the monster based on the amount of damage the pet has dealt to the monster.

The exact formulas for gaining experience:

Homunculus XP = [Monster Base XP] x [Homunculus Total Damage] / [Monster HP]
Base Alchemist XP = [Monster Base XP] x ([Homunculus Total Damage] + [Alchemist Total Damage]) / [Monster HP]
Alchemist Job EXP = [Monster Job EXP] x [Alchemist Total Damage] / [Monster HP]

Homunculus experience table

  • Homunculus' simple attacks are always Neutral, however they hit the Ghost element.
  • The homunculus does not suffer from the Knock-Back condition, in other words, the effect of the Endure skill hangs permanently on it.
  • Before evolution, the size of the homunculus is Small, after it - Medium.
  • All homunculi of the Neutral element.
  • The homunculus does not have a penalty on FLEE. (I.e., regardless of the number of attacking Homunculus, the fly does not change)
  • The ASPD of a homunculus is distinct from the ASPD of characters.
  • All types of obcast, including Heal, do not work on the homunculus. The only way to replenish his HP is with the Potion Pitcher alchemist skill.
  • Skill point homunculus gets every 3rd base level.
  • The increase in stats of the homunculus is completely random.
  • HIT can develop up to a maximum of 99%. Regardless of the HIT value, the Homunculus always has a 1% chance to miss the target.

When the ratio of the Homunculus to the master reaches loyalty (911 points), use the Stone of Sage (double click on the stone) and the Homunculus will evolve. Please note that there are 2 Stone of Sage in the game. You need to use stone number 12040, i.e. the one that drops from the monsters. The "wrong" gem has a warning text in red letters in the description. After evolution, the Homunculus will receive an increase in stats, HP and SP, and will also change his appearance to an "adult" sprite.

After evolution, the ratio of the Homunculus to the master will again fall to 11 (Awkward). When the ratio of the Homunculus to the master reaches 910 (1 point of loyalty), the fourth new skill of the Homunculus will be unlocked.

Possible parameters for increasing the characteristics of adult homunculi:

adult lifeAdult AmisterAdult FilirAdult Vanilmirth
Max HP1-10% 10-20% 5-15% 1-30%
MaxSP10-20% 1-10% 5-15% 1-30%
STR1-5 1-10 4-10 1-10

DEX1-10 1-4 1-5 1-10
AGI1-4 1-5 1-10 1-10
LUK1-3 1-5 1-5 1-10
  • Even if the info window shows the extra FLEE, Filir doesn't get any boost from the Accelerated Flight skill.
  • Homunculus Vanilmirth's Instruction Change skill adds STR only after leveling up. If the player moves to another map, teleports or re-enters the game, the bonus disappears.
  • After using Homunculus Amistr's Castling skill, monsters don't always change targets.
  • If you use buggy AI - Homunculus can kill himself in PvP.
  • If the Homunculus was killed or the Rest (Vaporize) skill was used while any status was affecting the Homunculus, a bug similar to the Curse status appears. To fix this bug, use the Rest skill and call the Homunculus with the Call Hmunculus skill.

Important: You should not use these methods on official servers, as these methods of increasing the speed can be followed by a ban (for example, on the MOTR server).

Method 1:

When using potions of speed (speed), the movement speed of the Homunculus noticeably increases. You can also get them with a quest. First we use the skill Rest (Rest), then we use the accelerating potion with a double click, then again we call the homunculus using the skill Call Homunculus (Summon Homunculus). After these operations, the homunculus begins to run very fast. The duration of the potion for the homunculus is not limited, but the effect will subside if you leave the game or change location. The disadvantage of this method is the high cost of accelerating potions. Also keep in mind that the potion has very little effect on the chima, and during this time you need to have time to call the homunculus.

Method 2:

We send the homunculus to rest using the skill Rest (Rest). Then we ask the priest or acolyte to throw acceleration (Agi) at us. Next, call on the homunculus using Call Homunculus (Call Homunculus). The homunculus will start running faster, but the effect will be worse than the first method.

Method 3:

The same effect as in the second method can be achieved by another method. We send the homunculus to rest using the skill Rest (Rest). Next, use the accelerator, which falls from Soha or Generals (in the payon dungeon) and call on the homunculus using the skill Call Homunculus (Summon Homunculus).

Homunculus (from the Latin "little man") - a humanoid creature grown artificially from male seed. For the first time, medieval alchemists spoke about the possibility of this process.

History reference

Alchemist creates a homunculus

Information that has survived to this day indicates that one of the first homunculi was created by the Spanish physician and alchemist Arnold of Villanova.

Born in the 13th century, he lived an extremely long life - 71 years, when the average life expectancy of a person in those days was 30 years.

The most famous homunculus recipe does not belong to anyone, but to one of the founding fathers of modern science - Paracelsus.

In his opinion, the human seed, placed in special conditions, is reborn into a homunculus. Its further growth and development is ensured by feeding with human blood.

How to make a homunculus?

On November 16, 2015, a strange video was posted on the popular YouTube video hosting, in which a certain man, without showing his face, tells about an experiment to create a homunculus.

The video, which has been watched by more than 10 million people, shows in detail the process of growing a homunculus at home and the result. We bring to your attention a video that we consider an ideal guide to growing a homunculus.

Video about the homunculus from the egg

The experiments of other alchemists have shown that the creation of homunculi is not limited to the use of chicken eggs. It can be assumed that the ostrich egg homunculus will be larger than its chicken counterpart. It can be eggs of other birds, and even horse manure.

However, all homunculus recipes have the following in common:

  1. Use of human genetic material.
  2. Ripening in a warm place, closed from sunlight (ideal temperature 37 degrees Celsius).

Alternative method of creating a homunculus

Method using mandrake root. Be aware that the plant is poisonous. To create a homunculus from a plant, special spells are required, which we could not find.

Appearance

Homunculus painted by alchemists

According to the alchemical reference, the time of "gestation" or, more precisely, the maturation of the homunculus is exactly 40 days. The growth of the homunculus is about 30 centimeters.

In fairness, we note that this article is purely theoretical and we ourselves have not made any attempts to manufacture a homunculus.

It is interesting that creatures similar to homunculi are often mentioned in fairy tales, and one can assume the sexual division of homunculi: a boy with a finger and a inch. They were grown from a cabbage stalk and a barley grain, respectively, and outwardly they were a small copy of a person.

What is a homunculus for?

According to medieval alchemists, the homunculus is able to fulfill the wishes of his father-creator. The homunculus has secret knowledge inaccessible to ordinary people.

Paranormal abilities are also attributed to them: mind reading, communication with spirits, reincarnation in animals, weather control and much more.

Later experiments with a real homunculus

Interesting photos and pictures with a homunculus

What modern scientists do not come up with! Science knows how to create a unique robot, clone an animal, how to make a homunculus or grow human organs. However, serious scientific research was carried out in ancient times and was especially developed during the Middle Ages, when the so-called alchemists worked tirelessly in their clandestine laboratories. In addition to searching for the notorious philosopher's stone and other semi-magical tricks, these tough guys tried to unravel one of the most key mysteries of life: is it possible to grow a person in a laboratory? A living being that strongly resembles a human, but only very small, was first created and raised by the Swiss doctor Paracelsus, back in 1534. The fruit of the incredible efforts of Paracelsus was immediately dubbed a homunculus (Latin homunculus - little man), and many amateur alchemists began to repeat the doctor's experiments and try to grow their own version of this creature. Let's also try to create a small human cub without resorting to traditional methods.

Homunculus - what is it?

Above, we have already given the meaning of the word homunculus, what kind of creature it is, and why it is called that. Let's dig a little deeper and find out more useful information about this creature.

Wikipedia really says that the homunculus can be obtained artificially, through certain manipulations proposed by the medieval alchemist Paracelsus. He was convinced that human sperm placed in a warm environment would help create a small living organism (horse manure served as an improvised "greenhouse"). During my experiences Paracelsus acted in approximately the following sequence.

  1. After the male seed was sent to a glass flask, it was sealed and placed in horse manure for 7-10 days.
  2. Next, the vessel with sperm was removed from the manure, and “magnetization” sessions were performed with it. Little is known about these manipulations, since they were encrypted by Paracelsus himself. During this period the homunculus was almost transparent, its outlines were just forming inside the flask.
  3. At the end of the “magnetization”, the vessel could be opened and the process of feeding the homunculus could begin. He ate human blood, and around him it was necessary to maintain the temperature of the mother's womb. Given this fact, as well as a number of magical actions that also sunk into oblivion, the homunculus was a specimen of the demonic and supernatural. There were stories and legends about him. It was captured by Goethe himself in his work "Faust".
  4. The feeding time of the homunculus lasted exactly 40 days and, according to the opinion of medieval alchemists, a ready-made little man, 30-32 cm in size, was removed from the test tube and could live under the supervision of his master, who taught him and raised any other child. There was also an opinion that Omunculus has supernatural knowledge and can reveal many secrets of the universe, into which he initiates his creator.

Further development of the biological sciences led to the assertion that the homunculus is in the spermatozoa, and when, during natural fertilization, he fell into the womb of a woman, he turned into the embryo of an ordinary person. This fact was confirmed by medieval pictures in which the homunculus was identified with a spermatozoon.

Now you know, literally, “what it is made of” and “what it eats” the homunculus, whose photo we tried to find on the net.

Here's what came out of it.

Despite the creepiness of these pictures, we will still try to grow a homunculus at home using the most popular methods.

How to grow a homunculus from an egg?

Since we are not aware of a number of magical manipulations of Paracelsus, we will use items that can be easily found in real life, without resorting to all sorts of supernatural tricks.

  • For this we need an ordinary chicken egg. It is necessary to take a fresh, just laid testicle, from a hen that has not been in contact with a rooster.
  • Male seed (where without it). Although further we will tell you how you can replace it.
  • Pharmacy syringe.
  • A piece of thick fabric.
  • Medical syringe.

Let's start the process of creating a homunculus

  1. We take a chicken egg and make a slightly noticeable hole in it. Gently using a syringe, we introduce the male seed into it. The needle must go deep enough for the sperm to enter the yolk of the egg.
  2. We seal the hole with a band-aid (so that bacteria do not get in).
  3. We send the egg to the dishes, which we tightly close the lid and wrap with a cloth.
  4. We put it all in a warm place and stay there for 5-14 days.
  5. We extract the finished homunculus.

If you are incredibly attracted to a creature called a homunculus, you can watch a video with its creation right in this section. By the way, you can try to grow a homunculus from an ostrich egg.

How to make a homunculus without a seed: from mandrake, from horsehair

We have already told you what a homunculus is, that it is a living organism that can breathe, move, eat food and recognize its owner. You have learned about the most popular and most remarkable ways to create a little man. The key element of these experiments is male sperm, however, even ancient magicians and sorcerers spoke about the possibility of conceiving a homunculus without a seed. For this, there were 2 main ingredients:

  • Mandrake. The root of this plant always has a bizarre shape and visually resembles a human figure. Ancient peoples believed that with the help of special spells and potions, you can turn the mandrake root into a living person.
  • Horsehair. For this method, you need to find a mare in estrus, pull out her hair and rub it near the genitals of the animal. Then we throw the hair into a jug with spring water, put it in a dark place for 10 days and grow a homunculus in this way. In this case, we will get not a little man, but a small worm that can attract a lot of money. Put it at night next to banknotes, and you will increase your income several times.

Truth and fiction about homunculi

About how to grow a homunculus, perhaps, only the lazy did not argue. There are hundreds of stories and comments on the web regarding this topic. The most daring users have already managed to conduct incredible experiments, film their efforts on video and put it all on YouTube. Some of the videos are truly Oscar-worthy, like the one where a guy grows something by crossing a hen's egg and samples of his own seed. Soon he personally kills this something with a weighty volume of the Russian-Chinese dictionary. It was this incident that gave rise to popular homunculus meme and aroused great interest in these creatures, as well as in their parents, that is, the creators.

Chemists, biologists, couch psychoanalysts and simple onlookers began to suck on this topic from all sides, thinking about whether it is even possible to cross the germ cells of a chicken and a person and get offspring. On this occasion, however, a heated discussion does not subside, and videos with new experiments appear on the network. To confirm or deny the rumors about the homunculus, it is better to try to grow it yourself. The most popular and affordable method is the egg homunculus, which does not require complex devices and magical rituals to create.

If you want to create a homunculus without sperm, remember children's fairy tales. Yes, world famous Boy with a finger, Thumbelina or Katigoroshka are none other than homunculi grown from individual particles. Namely, the Boy with a finger appeared from a cabbage stalk, Thumbelina - from barley grain, and Katigoroshek - from a pea. We cannot guarantee that you will be able to grow a living creature from similar plants, however, we have provided you with the opportunity to learn a little more about homunculi, their creation and life. However, you can make sure whether all these stories about humanoid beings are true or not only after watching the videos or conducting your own experiments.
