Carlos Blanco (writer) facts for kids

Carlos Alberto Blanco Pérez (born on March 7, 1986, in Madrid, Spain) is a Spanish writer, professor, and someone who was a child prodigy (a very smart child who showed amazing talents early in life). He has written several books, including "Conciencia y Mismidad" and "La integración del conocimiento." In 2015, he became a member of the World Academy of Art and Science and is also part of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts.

Carlos Blanco's Early Life

Carlos Blanco started speaking when he was just seven months old! By the time he was two, he had already learned to read. When he was eight, he began teaching himself ancient languages, like Egyptian. He went to a local school in Coslada, Spain. In 1997, when he was eleven, he joined the Spanish Association of Egyptology, a group that studies ancient Egypt.

Youngest Egyptologist

In May 1998, Carlos got the highest score in a course on Egyptian hieroglyphs (the ancient Egyptian writing system). Because of this, a Spanish newspaper called El Mundo said he was the youngest Egyptologist (someone who studies ancient Egypt) in Europe and the youngest person in the world to understand hieroglyphs. When he was 12, he became an honorary member of "Fundación Arqueológica Clos" in Barcelona. He even gave his first talks at the Egyptian Museum in Barcelona! The Egyptian Government invited him to visit Egypt, and he received a scholarship to study Arabic in Madrid.

Becoming Well-Known

In 1999, Carlos became very popular in Spain. He appeared on a famous TV show called Crónicas marcianas. On the show, he was called a "superdotado" (which means "highly gifted" or "super talented" in Spanish). Every week, he talked about science, philosophy, history, and politics. He was invited to Egypt again and also traveled to Argentina, where he was interviewed on TV.

His Studies and Degrees

In 2000, Carlos received a scholarship to study at Westminster School in London. There, he became interested in Russian, Chinese, and Greek. In 2001, he got a grant to attend the University of Navarra in Spain. He studied three subjects at the same time: Philosophy (graduating in 2006), Chemistry (graduating in 2007), and Theology (graduating in 2007). He also continued learning Russian and Chinese.

Carlos has been a member of several important groups, including the International Association of Egyptologists.

By 2009, he was studying at Harvard University in the United States. By 2011, he had earned two doctorates, one in Philosophy and one in Theology. He is now a professor at the Pontifical University of Comillas in Madrid, where he teaches philosophy. He also helped start The Altius Society, a group of young leaders who meet every year at Oxford University. In 2025, Carlos Blanco became the first philosopher known to have a conversation with his digital clone, discussing big ideas in philosophy and science.
