@rgb The Middle Ages eh!

1. "homunculus" as a "little person" in medieval and early modern times, like an artificial humanlike being who was thought could be created through alchemy (in quite a crazy way - born inside a horse with purified sperm!).

2. Medieval times showing how wild we thought,,,

3. and nobody is sure when "Middle Ages" is...(Different opinions) perhaps "The Late Middle Ages" around 1000 was marked by difficulties and calamities
(including famine, plague, and war, which significantly diminished the population of Europe) spanning between 500 - 1500 years.
So around 1000 (10th Century) for some people... just to say a number.... but +/-500 years? :)
