The Alien. Germany

At the beginning of the XVIII century, near the town of Gamlmen in Germany, a boy of about 12 years of age was caught. He did not speak and did not eat bread, eating only grass and vegetables. Rumors of a "wild child" reached the English King George, who decided to bring the boy to England. So began the story of Wild Peter.


Upon arrival in England, Wild Peter became a court favorite, but never learned to speak articulately. He aroused the interest of many scientists and philosophers. The Scottish Lord Moboddo considered his story a brief essay on the history of progress, and the French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau saw Peter as a model of an unspoiled man.


German naturalists and scientists have studied all the documents related to the history of Wild Peter, and came to the conclusion that he was not brought up in an animal society, like Mowgli, but lived among people shortly before his capture. However, where he got to Germany in the 18th century remains a mystery.
