Detailing the incredible and allegedly true story of the Boy with Two Heads, otherwise known as the Boy of Bengal. Born in a village named Mundul Gait, Bengal in 1783, the child's life was short and full of incredible tragedy. Instead of having his memory honored, his grave was desecrated and his body was mutilated in the name of "science". In reality, the boy suffered from the condition "Craniopagus Parasiticus" and was indeed the first documented case to survive past birth.
Several sources falsely claim the boy died at the age of four, but the only reported academic source from 1790 lists the suggested age of two.
Thanks for watching and don't forget to leave your video suggestions in the comments!

the saddest part is that the second head was likely fully conscious, just was not able to talk and could not have their own body. heartbreaking

There was a story of a girl born in the Middle East in 2005 who had this exact condition, and there was a surgery to remove the parasitic twin. the surgery was successful, but unfortunately, the girl developed a brain infection and ended up dying not long after. i dont remember what her name was, but there is a video of it on yt somewhere

thank you for mentioning the details surrounding how the death was proclaimed, and that deduction towards the end. Usually these sorts of videos dehumanize children with conditions like these as something to be scared of, but the info presented frames it more as tragic and the scary part was how that poor baby was treated.

And this year makes 240 years since the twins were born. The village where they were born still exists (the modern spelling is Mandalghat) and I wonder if people there today know about them. Craniopagus parasiticus is both fascinating and tragic. So far it’s only ever happened a few times in human history with these boys being the first recorded case, but of course those are only the cases that are known. It makes me wonder how many babies have ever been born with it that were never reported. The most recent case comparable to this one is the case of Manar and Islam Maged from Egypt. There are videos of them, Islam was the smaller twin, and almost every description of the Bengali boy’s twin matches her except for that she was facing upwards.

It was most likely not sentient at all and just rumors. There’s no proof stating that it was in-fact, sentient and it’s very unlikely that it was considering the only nutrition it was getting was from head #1. It was basically a parasite relying on the main head. It’s really improbable but if that happened to be the case than wow I don’t even know what to say. But the chances of that are very very slim and really only just baseless rumors.

but how would the second head be getting its nutrients and everything?, like, he is not eating anything at all and there’s no neck in the models shown, therefore if he eats, it will go nowhere. if the nutrients come from what the first head eats, then there has to be some super amazing abnormal connectivity with the heads in a biological level, therefore is this all even possible Edit: I heard from other cases of conjoined heads like the Oprah video; since their brains are basically conjoined, they are able to share major common vessels. Therefore the second head would be feeding off the first head’s vital organs. Although, that would mean that the first head would have a heavier metabolic burden because it will have to eat for the second head as well, because the connectivity allows nutrients from the food and oxygen from the blood of the first head to reach the second. Now, about the whispers, if the second head relied sooo much on the first head for survival, it will most likely be underdeveloped or non funcctional in a lot of ways, since it only survives parasitically drawing nutrients from first head! imagine if this boy actually lives up to what is told about him in these times, (although most likely not possible since it is so long ago and probably exaggerated especially on the part of the two heads talking to each other, since the second head was most likely non functional.) but if it was actully possible- the modern medical imaging would probably show a very unique physiological arrangement that could… possibly allow dual consciousness??? with a degree of physiological dependence, but thats on the theory side
