Alexander von Humboldt

He vas my boyfwend!

If any of us have 'had him' we are Zombies one and all.

MARY!

“The baron enters this Babylon, becomes friends with a few dissolute, obscene youths; they drag him to the houses where tainted love reigns; this shameful passion takes control of his heart and blinds this young sage…”

A little ambiguous so far, but in a further letter, he made the homosexual inference more explicit, calling Carlos de Montúfar an Adonis.

“Baron von Humboldt left here on the eighth in the company of Bonpland and of his Adonis, who does not interfere with his trip as does Caldas.”

Young de Montúfar stayed with von Humboldt for the remainder of the expedition and returned to Europe with him. They attended the coronation of Napoleon I together but then drifted apart.

Alexander von Humboldt died in 1859 at the age of 89. Four years before, he transferred his entire estate to the valet who’d been with him for 30 years.

He just never found the right girl. What a shame!

He was the Aaron Rodgers of his day.....

“A little ambiguous so far, but in a further letter, he made the homosexual inference more explicit, calling Carlos de Montúfar an Adonis.”

And in a much more explicit reference, that letter closed with “PS Surprise Anal!!”

He's much more well known outside English speaking countries. I looked up the guy after traveling in Latin America and noticing his name on buildings.

He preferred to date in Europe
