In the jungles of Vietnam 40 years lived two "Mowgli" Bashny.Net

Vietnamese Ho Van Thanh was last seen 40 years ago, when he and his son escaped into the jungle after a bomb destroyed his hut, which killed his wife and two children.

No one imagined that Ho Van Thanh manage to survive in the woods with a two-year baby in her arms, but the incredible happened - a few days ago, two residents of the area Tra Tau Province Kuangnay, climbed into the forest in search of firewood. Suddenly, one of them noticed a strange dwelling, like a bird's nest - a cabin located on a tree by the stream. Looking into it, they found two men inside, one of them, an old man, knew the language of Korean nationality (Vietnamese dialect), and the other, a middle-aged, could utter only a few words.





The villagers reported the find to the authorities, the investigation was conducted, which revealed that two men found in the jungle - a Ho Van Thanh and his son Ho Van Lang, disappeared in 1973. According to «Thanh Nien News», living in the jungle back in 1993, the youngest son discovered Thanh (who turns out to be killed by a bomb blast) with his uncle. They tried to convince the hermit to go home, but when they came to the other villagers, father and son were hiding in the woods.





Thanh has built a hut on a tree-nest, with his son, they pitched a real plantation of sugar cane (about 1 ha), their diet consisted of cassava, corn and other plants. Hermits built even bow, arrows, knives and axes with which hunted.





Ho Van Thanh and Ho Van Lang settled in the village of Tra Kem, which takes care of them younger son Thanh Ho Chi Wan. As one of the relatives, Ho Wen Bin as "aliens from the jungle" feel uncomfortable and obviously wish to get back into the forest, "My uncle did not understand much of what he said and did not want to eat or drink. We know that it pulls in the jungle, so we will not keep an eye on him ».

Two men over the 40 years had virtually no contact with the people, so almost forgotten how to speak. Now steps are being taken for their adaptation to the human society.
