Europe Better Not to Know

Western values, which some now breathe about, have a rather long history of cannibals. Cannibalism, fornication, homosexuality, necrophilia are not a modern invention introduced with the Overton window technology. All this was in Europe just a few hundred years ago …

Fornication

Champfleury wrote about the religious life of France in the Middle Ages:

Strange amusements took place in cathedrals and monasteries during the great holidays of the church in the Middle Ages and during the Renaissance. Not only the lower clergy participate in merry songs and dances, especially at Easter and Christmas, but even the most important church dignitaries. The monasterians of the men's monasteries then danced with the monasterians of the neighboring women's monasteries, and the bishops joined in their merriment. The Erfurt Chronicle even describes how one dignitary of the church indulged in such exercises that he died of a rush of blood to his head.

[Champfleury. Histoire de la Carricature au Moyen Age. - Paris, 1867-1871. - P. 53].

In France, up to the New Time (mid-17th century), pagan rituals were preserved: “There was a pagan custom, preserved among Christians, to produce“bleating”on holidays, that is, singing and dancing, because this habit of“bleating” "Remained from the pagan rituals. Only in 1212 did the Parisian cathedral forbid monasterians from organizing "crazy holidays" in this form.

To abstain from crazy holidays, where they accept the phallus, everywhere, and this we all the more prohibit the monetherians and monasterians.

[Champfleury, p. 57].

Thus, the Latin monks took an active part in the Saturnalia.

King Charles VII in 1430 again forbids these religious "crazy holidays" in the Trojes cathedral, where the "phallus is raised". Latin clerics took an active part in the "festivities".

The preacher Guillaume Pépin writes about the monks of his time:

Many non-reformed clergymen, even those ordained to church dignity, used to enter non-reformed women's monasteries and indulge in unbridled dances and orgies with the nuns, day and night. I am silent about the rest, so as not to offend pious minds.

[G. Pepinus: Sermones quadraginta de dcstructione Ninive. - Paris, 1525].

Champfleury continues: “On the walls of the hall of some ancient Christian churches, we are surprised to see images of human genitals, which are obsequiously paraded among the objects designated for worship. As if an echo of ancient symbolism, such pornographic sculptures in temples are carved with amazing innocence by stonecutters. These phallic memories of antiquity, found in the dark cathedral halls of central France, are especially plentiful in the Gironde. Bordeaux archaeologist Leo Drouin showed me curious examples of shameless sculptures on display in the ancient churches of his province, which he hides in the depths of his files! But such an excess of bashfulness deprives us of important scientific knowledge. The newest historians, keeping silent about the Christian images of genitals in some rooms of ancient temples, throw a veil on the thought of someone who would like to compare the monuments of classical antiquity with the monuments of the Middle Ages. Serious books on the cult of the phallus, with the help of serious drawings, would illuminate this subject vividly and would reveal the worldview of those who, even in the Middle Ages, could not get rid of pagan cults”[Champfleury, p. 240].

Homosexuality

Medieval monks were punished severely for sodomy. Very strict. Repentance.

The three most famous books of repentance - Finnian's Book, Columban's Book and Kummean's Book - contain detailed descriptions of punishment for various types of homosexual behavior. Thus, the Book of Finnian established that “those who have intercourse from behind (ie, anal sex is meant), if they are boys, then they commit repentance within two years, if men - three, and if it has become a habit, then seven." Particular attention is paid to fellatio: “Those who satisfy their desires through the lips repentance for three years. If it has become a habit, then seven. " Columban requires that "a monk who committed the sin of Sodom should repent for ten years." Kummean establishes the punishment for sodomy in the form of seven years of repentance, for fellatio - from four to seven years. The measures of responsibility for boys vary very significantly: for kissing - from six to ten posts, depending on whether the kiss was "simple" or "passionate" and whether it led to "desecration" (that is, to ejaculation); from 20 to 40 days of fasting for mutual masturbation, one hundred days of fasting for intercourse "between the thighs", and if this is repeated, then one year of fasting. “A young man who has been defiled by an elder must fast for a week; if he agreed to sin, then 20 days."

Later, the Church condemned the books of repentance for their excessive mildness to "unnatural vices" - the main punishments were fasting and repentance. For example, in England - the burning of sodomites was introduced by Edward I. However, court fires broke out because of this accusation not often … From 1317 to 1789, only 73 trials took place. This figure is significantly lower than the number of executed heretics, witches, etc.

The accusation of unnatural debauchery was more often used as an addition to the accusation in order to emphasize the justice of the punishment. She was accused of Gilles de Rais, the Templars, although in the first case it was not the main charge, and in the second - the true motive of the execution.

Necrophilia and cannibalism

Human flesh was considered one of the best medicines. Everything went into business - from the top of the head to the toes.

For example, the English king Charles II regularly drank a tincture of human skulls. For some reason, skulls from Ireland were considered especially healing, and they were brought to the king from there.

In places of public execution, epileptics were always crowded. It was believed that the blood spattered during decapitation cured them of this disease.

Many diseases were then treated with blood. Thus, Pope Innocent VIII regularly drank blood expressed from three boys.

From the dead until the end of the 18th century, it was allowed to take fat - it was rubbed in for various skin diseases.

Already in the XIV century, the corpses of recently deceased people and executed criminals began to be used to prepare medicines from corpses. It happened that the executioners sold fresh blood and "human fat" directly from the scaffold. How this was done is described in the book by O. Kroll, published in 1609 in Germany:

“Take the intact, clean corpse of a red-haired 24-year-old man, executed no earlier than one day ago, preferably by hanging, wheeling or impaling … Hold it one day and one night under the sun and moon, then cut into large pieces and sprinkle with myrrh powder and aloe, so that it is not too bitter …"

There was another way:

“The flesh should be kept in wine alcohol for several days, then hung in the shade and dried in the breeze. After that, you will need wine alcohol again to restore the red hue of the flesh. Since the appearance of a corpse inevitably causes nausea, it would be good to soak this mummy in olive oil for a month. The oil absorbs the mummy's trace elements, and it can also be used as a medicine, especially as an antidote for snake bites."

Another recipe was offered by the famous pharmacist Nicolae Lefebvre in his "Complete book on chemistry", published in London in 1664. First of all, he wrote, you need to cut off the muscles from the body of a healthy and young man, soak them in alcohol, and then hang them in a cool dry place. If the air is very humid or it is raining, then "these muscles should be hung in a pipe and every day they should be dried over a low fire from juniper, with needles and bumps, to the state of corned beef, which sailors take on long voyages."

Gradually, the technology of making drugs from human bodies has become even more sophisticated. The healers proclaimed that its healing power would increase if the corpse of a person who sacrificed itself was used.

For example, in the Arabian Peninsula, men between the ages of 70 and 80 gave up their bodies to save others. They ate nothing, only drank honey and took baths from it. After a month, they themselves began to exude this honey in the form of urine and feces. After the "sweet old men" died, their bodies were placed in a stone sarcophagus filled with the same honey. After 100 years, the remains were removed. So they got a medicinal substance - "confection", which, as it was believed, could instantly cure a person from all diseases.

And in Persia, in order to prepare such a drug, a young man under 30 was needed. As compensation for his death, he was well fed for some time and pleased in every possible way. He lived like a prince, and then he was drowned in a mixture of honey, hashish and medicinal herbs, the body was sealed in a coffin and opened only after 150 years.

This passion for eating mummies first led to the fact that in Egypt by about 1600, 95% of the tombs were looted, and in Europe by the end of the 17th century, the cemeteries had to be guarded by armed detachments.

Only in the middle of the 18th century in Europe, one state after another began to adopt laws either significantly restricting the eating of the flesh of corpses, or completely forbidding it to do so. Finally, mass cannibalism on the continent ceased only by the end of the first third of the 19th century, although in some distant corners of Europe it was practiced until the end of this century - in Ireland and Sicily it was not forbidden to eat a deceased child before his baptism.

According to one of the versions, the numerous remains in the Ossuaries, the ossuary, are a by-product of these manipulations - hundreds of thousands of bones look boiled down, like museum exhibits - without remnants of flesh. The question is - where did the rest of the flesh go from so many corpses?

Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini is a Capuchin church on Via Veneto in Rome, with the remains of about 4 thousand people.

Czech. Kutná Hora. Ossuary in Sedlec. About 40,000 human skeletons were used to decorate the chapel. The chapel acquired its present appearance in 1870.

Numerous ossuary graves, located among residential areas, were a characteristic feature of the city during the late Middle Ages. According to the official version, ossuaries are used for mass burial of those killed in major battles, during the plague and other disasters, according to the unofficial version, they are the results of a global cataclysm of the recent past. Regardless of the cause, the nature of polished-cooked bones raises many questions.

Are the ossuaries the result of a disaster?

In fairness, it should be noted that in the twentieth century, echoes of that practice persisted - the manufacture of drugs using human flesh, similar studies were carried out in the USSR.

The dissertation of A. M. Khudaz, performed in 1951 at the Azerbaijan Medical Institute, is devoted to external use for burns of a drug obtained from human corpses - cadaverol (kada - means corpse). The drug was prepared from internal fat by melting it in a water bath. Using it for burns allowed, according to the author, to reduce the treatment period by almost half. For the first time human fat called "humanol" was used for therapeutic purposes in surgical practice by the doctor Godlander in 1909. In the USSR, it was also used by L. D. Kortavov in 1938.

The substance obtained after prolonged boiling of dead bodies may well be healing. Of course, this is only a hypothesis so far. But at one of the scientific and practical seminars, specialists from the research laboratory N. Makarov showed an artificially obtained by them MOS (mineral organic substrate). Research protocols testified: MOS is able to increase people's working capacity, shorten the rehabilitation period after radiation injury, and increase male potency.

Consumption of human flesh in modern society

Today, in the 21st century, Western civilization legally consumes human flesh - this is the placenta and food additives. Moreover, the fashion for eating the placenta is growing from year to year, and in many Western maternity hospitals there is even a procedure for using it - either to give it to a woman in labor, or to hand it over to laboratories that produce hormonal drugs on its basis.

At first, old people - millionaires were treated with cow and sheep embryos, and soon doctors mastered an incomparably more effective medicine - alpha-fetaprotein, made from human unborn children.

It is produced from embryonic tissues, directly from the human embryo, from umbilical cord blood, from the placenta.

Of course, the production of this “medicine for millionaires” requires thousands, tens of thousands of embryos, and their age should not be lower or higher than 16–20 weeks, when the future organism is already fully formed.

Human flesh is also added to modern food products as food additives. The consumer does not even know that when buying Nescafe instant coffee, Nesquick cocoa, Maggie seasoning, baby food or other brand products, he is getting a product with the addition of "human flesh".

American biotechnology company Senomyx Co Ltd, whose main profile is the production of various food additives for the food and cosmetic industries. If we go to the English-language site Wikipedia, we find out that the developed component HEK293 is the pride of the aforementioned company.

In turn, if we ask ourselves what HEK293 means, the same Wikipedia will give us the answer that HEK stands for Human Embryonic Kidney, that is, the kidney of an aborted human embryo.
