Sympa

Le mystère d'un prince kidnappé à Baden, en Allemagne, a finalement été résolu après deux siècles de spéculation et d'intrigue. En 1812, le jeune Prince Kaspar Hauser, âgé d'environ 16 ans, est apparu mystérieusement à Nuremberg sans connaissance de son passé, suscitant des rumeurs selon lesquelles il était un royal disparu. Certains croyaient qu'il était l'héritier légitime du Grand-Duché de Bade, volé bébé pour assurer le règne d'une autre famille. Des scientifiques modernes ont récemment réexaminé l'affaire à l'aide d'une analyse ADN avancée. Ils ont comparé le matériel génétique de Kaspar à celui des descendants connus de la famille de Bade et ont conclu qu'il n'y avait pas de correspondance, prouvant qu'il n'était pas le prince perdu.

00:00It is true that any mysterious story loses its appeal as soon as science reveals its secrets.

00:06The royal intrigues of the past become clearer thanks to modern technologies,

00:11and even fairy tales find scientific explanations.

00:14Let's discover together how this manifests itself.

00:17In the southwest of Germany is the country of Bad.

00:21And until the 20th century, it benefited from the status of sovereign state.

00:25Rather than exploring its history as a whole, let's focus on a remarkable episode from the 19th century.

00:32At that time, Bad was ruled by the Grand Duke Charles II and the Grand Duchess Stéphanie.

00:37On September 29, 1812, the latter gave birth to a son, promised to inherit the throne.

00:43Alas, he died after only 18 days.

00:46This tragedy gave birth to a multitude of speculations around the young missing heir.

00:51It was then rumored that a distant relative, the Countess Louise Caroline von Hochberg,

00:56would have replaced the heir by another child, relegating the real prince to a secret place.

01:02But for what reason would she have orchestrated such a scheme?

01:06Stephanie was no longer able to conceive,

01:09this manipulation could have allowed one of Louise Caroline's sons to claim the throne.

01:14A plot worthy of a romantic story.

01:16Because indeed, at that time, the position of little prince was in real danger.

01:21The heir to the Duke Charles, dead or concealed, had been lost in oblivion for nearly 16 years.

01:26Then, to the general surprise, a mysterious young man, about 16 years old,

01:31suddenly appeared in the streets of what is now Nuremberg, arousing curiosity.

01:36He wandered around the village square, without paper, money or food.

01:41Exhausted, dressed in high heels and visibly hungry,

01:44he hardly spoke, lacking strength, and barely managed to write his name, Kaspar Hauser.

01:50In his hand, he held an anonymous letter.

01:53According to the content of the letter and his words,

01:56he had spent all his life locked up in a dark and cramped cellar, never leaving it.

02:02During this period, an unknown benefactor had taken care of him by feeding him and taking care of him.

02:08He had never seen this benefactor or known who he was.

02:12And then, suddenly, he had found himself in the middle of the city.

02:16Rumors began to circulate in the city, claiming that he was the legitimate heir to Bad, the one who had been replaced.

02:23Many believed that he had been the prince missing for a long time and were looking for evidence to support this theory.

02:29However, these speculations remained without basis, based solely on rumors.

02:35He would have to wait nearly 200 years before the technology capable of revealing his identity would appear.

02:41In the 1990s, genetic analysis had first concluded that Kaspar Hauser was not from Bad's house.

02:48However, these results had subsequently been contested.

02:51A long series of investigations had then been launched to analyze the DNA of this enigmatic man.

02:56It was only recently that this troubling question could finally find an answer.

03:01Thanks to a technology used to study fragments of Neanderthal DNA, a more precise method could finally be used.

03:09These results demonstrated that Kaspar Hauser's DNA did not correspond to the genetic codes of Bad's members.

03:17Scientists believe that new advances in the analysis of genetic material will allow them to unravel other historical mysteries.

03:24But then, who was Kaspar Hauser really?

03:28Researchers have no certainty, and they do not even know where to start to trace his rise.

03:34Now, it is time to move on to a strange and disturbing story.

03:39Listen carefully to these words.

03:41We are native to the land of Saint Martin, venerated with a particular fervor in the country that saw us born.

03:48The sun never shines on our people, our land enjoys very few of its rays.

03:53We are content with this twilight, similar to the one that, in your country, precedes the dawn or succeeds the setting sun.

04:01In addition, a radiant country appears, not far from ours, separated by a considerable river.

04:07It looks like a letter drawn from a mysterious fairy tale, doesn't it?

04:12Do you know who gave it to you?

04:14A young brother and a young sister suddenly appeared in a small English village in the 12th century.

04:19The strangest thing in this story is that their skin was... green.

04:24Some think it is a true story, while others say it is just a simple fable.

04:30Anyway, this is a particularly disturbing story.

04:35That of the Green Children, by Wolpeat.

04:38This event dates back to the reign of King Etienne, in the middle of the 12th century, on the territory of the former village of Wolpeat.

04:45In Old English, the name was Wolpeat, meaning a pit to catch wolves.

04:50In 1150, not far from this pit, a group of villagers made the discovery of two children, a boy and a girl, whose skin was green.

04:59Intrigued, they could not explain their origin or their identity, especially since they spoke a strange and unknown language.

05:06They seemed fearful.

05:08The villagers then took them to Sir Richard of Calne.

05:11The nice man offered them something to eat, but despite their apparent hunger, they refused to touch it.

05:17They murmured incomprehensible words and spoke very little with Sir Richard.

05:22This situation lasted several days, until they saw green beans in the garden.

05:27They then began to devour them eagerly, even the ground.

05:30Can you conceive a more terrifying image?

05:33Seriously, it looks like a scene straight out of a horror movie.

05:37A boy and a girl with green skin discovered in a wolf pit, swallowing beans covered with dirt in full hand.

05:43According to the codes of the genre, even more frightening events should occur later.

05:48The cattle would fall ill, the crops would rot, a mysterious voice would start to murmur in the corridors,

05:54mold would grow on the ceiling and a viscous liquid would infiltrate through the walls.

05:59And if these children invoked the demon and dragged Sir Richard into the other world?

06:03Fortunately, none of this happened.

06:06Sir Richard treated the children kindly, and in the space of a few years, he taught them to consume ordinary food.

06:13According to the writings of the time, this would have had an effect on the color of their skin.

06:17Their green skin disappeared, and they regained their health.

06:21In addition, Sir Richard taught them English.

06:24When he questioned them about their arrival in the village, they explained to him that they did not know how they had arrived there.

06:30They told him this,

06:54You have already heard the rest of their story at the beginning of this story.

06:57What they shared was enough disturbing for Sir Richard to decide to take them to the nearest church.

07:02But no one ever managed to discover the origin of these children.

07:06The girl spent many years at Sir Richard's service before getting married.

07:10His brother, alas, died young.

07:13As for him, nearly a thousand years have passed since these strange events,

07:17but it would seem that science has finally elucidated the mystery of the Green Children of Wolpitt.

07:23At that time, King Etienne persecuted Flemish immigrants in England.

07:28Some would have sought refuge near the village of Wolpitt, where they would have raised their children.

07:33Food shortages could explain their greenish skin.

07:37And, when they resumed a normal diet, their skin returned to its usual color.

07:43Besides, some foods can have a significant impact on physical appearance.

07:48For example, excessive consumption of carrots can give the skin a yellowish hue.

07:53If the brother and sister consumed green beans on a daily basis,

07:57this could have led to the production of a green pigment in their body.

08:00The mystery seems more or less elucidated.

08:03But what about their unknown language?

08:05It is very likely that they spoke the language of their parents, that is, their native Flemish.

08:10This explains why the villagers could never understand them.

08:14As for the strange story about the place where they used to live,

08:18it can be interpreted as the product of a fertile imagination.

08:21But, in all honesty, it would be fascinating that this story is really something magical, isn't it?
