The reason for such behavior is because they are raised by wild animals in the forest?

The oldest story about wild children has been recorded in Roman texts. The story is about two twins - Romulus and Remus - believed to have founded the great city of Roma.

The twins inherited the kingdom of Albania but were robbed of their throne and floated on the Tevere River. The two of them accidentally save a wolf, and the animal that feeds on Romulus, Remus with his milk.

A few years later, the shepherds accidentally discovered the cave of the wolf and quickly brought two poor children to the village, teaching them to speak with knowledge. Later, both with their health and agile talent captured many slaves. Romulus built Rome, crowned king and quickly established the great Roman Kingdom.

Findings about the wild child

Although the story is mentioned by many people, no one has been able to prove its accuracy. However, in human history, the phenomenon of children raised by wild animals is not too rare. A German history book about the strange boy, discovered on July 27, 1724.

This 12-year-old boy was discovered by the villagers in Hamelin town (Germany) in the nearby forest in a state of not wearing clothes and walking on all four limbs. Everyone named the boy Peter. Although they tried hard, they could not force the boy to eat bread, or cereal, Peter's favorite dish was just vegetables and water from the stalks.

Or like another story about a child in the deep forest discovered by Indian pastor Joseph Singh in 1920. It is rumored that in the village of Midnapore there is a strange creature with howls like wolves, moving. fast, healthy and often attack cattle . People think that it is a wolf, so it is thanks to the help of Pastor Joseph.

The pastor accepted the invitation and on that very night he climbed a tall tree to observe. From here, he saw two creatures crawling out of a cave.

The legends of wild children appear a lot in the world

When he returned, he and several others came to take the two children to the orphanage to look after. Joseph named the older child Kamala and the young Amala. Kamala and Amala are everyday activities like wolves - they sleep from morning to afternoon and woke up when it was dark. They both drink water with their tongues, love to eat raw meat and are willing to bite and threaten strangers to visit.

Pastor Joseph tried hard to teach the two children, practicing them like a person but Kamala and Amala still couldn't live like a normal human being. A year later, Amala died, and Kamala died 8 years later. After many years of practice, Kamala was finally able to stand up and pronounce some simple words.

Truth or scams?

Over the centuries, the stories of this wild child have become more and more popular. But for scientists, this concept is still controversial. The reason is that most wild children are oral stories or recorded in non-scientific texts.

As in the case of little Kamala and Amala, all the wolf-like actions of both are just records in Joseph's diary, never had a specific study or record from scientists. contemporary

Some modern researchers believe that Joseph "created" a tragic story, causing a stir to raise a large sum of money from child sponsorship organizations. The two girls Kamala and Amala were very likely to suffer from mental illness, and were taken back by Joseph to serve his dark purpose.

In 2008, Misha Defonseca - author of the famous memoir "Misha: A Memoir of Holocaust Years" (roughly translated: Misha's memory of the years of running away from the massacre) tells of her escape (when she was still small) escaping the pursuit of fascist Germany admitting their lies. Accordingly, details of Misha's journey after fleeing from the Nazi concentration camp were completely fictional.

Misha has described very well the runaway, alone, wandering over 3,000km through the old forests and remote marshes of Europe for four years. She is trapped in a Polish ghetto, then confronts the enemy and kills a fascist. After that, she went with wild wolves to seek refuge, on her journey to find her parents.

At the time of the new creation, Misha assured her that the book was completely true, which made people deeply moved and admired. The number of people who bought the book thus increased greatly, helping Misha to collect a huge sum of money.

However, not so that humanity completely denies the existence of wild children, there are many researchers trying to find the truth about this strange phenomenon. This must be an interesting mystery waiting for us to explore in the near future.
