I don't think it says exactly. You could take a guess by considering the timeline of events in their lives. Edward was eleven and Alphonse was ten when they attempted human transmutation but before that they spent nearly a year with their teacher and they lived with their mother for awhile even before that..

My guess would be that Edward was about 9 which would mean Alphonse was 8.

What is Full Metal Alchamist Brotherhood?

Fullmetal Alchemist is an anime... And a manga!It is based off two kids "Edward Elric" and "Alphonse Elric" looking for a way to ressurect their mother (and get their bodies back) by using a stone (which in the series they say is "Ledgendary") the Philosopher's Stone.Full metal alchemist is a manga and anime series by Hiromu Arakawa. It is often abbreviated as FMA. The anime has 51 episodes and all of them are releaced along with a movie. I agree this anime is the best ever. Full Metal Alchemist (FMA) is a hit manga series in Japan. Edward Elric and his younger brother Alphonse Elric tried to resourect their dearly beloved mother from the dead with human transmutation... it failed terribly, making Edward lose his left leg, and Alphonse's entire body. in order for Edward to get his brother back he exchanged his arm for Al's soul, and binded it to an empty suit of armor. now ed has an right automail arm and a left automail leg (artificial limbs) and they are on a journey to find a way to gain they're origianal bodies back. Edward becomes a state alchemist on order to find more information about the philosipher stone which might indeed have the power to give them their desire. p.s. I LOVE THIS ANIME Also, this anime is about two brothers that try to bring their mom back to life using alchemy, but its forrbidden to try to raise the dead, but they do it anyway, and Ed (older brother) lost an arm and a leg and Al (younger brother) lost his entire body, so Ed put Al's spirit into a suit of armor, and they go on a quest to find the legendary philosopher stone to try to get their bodies back to normal. It's a good anime, though it's kinda gross and scary at some parts, but just a little, and it's funny.


How do you create a homunculus?

ANSWER 1You actually can not 'summon' a homunculus. But you 'create' it. In Fullmetal Alchemist, a homunculus is created by human transmutation. Since human transmutation is impossible, the result of the attempt to do human transmutation is a 'failed human' or known as homunculi.At first, the homunculus would look unhuman, like when the Elric brothers tried to revive their mother, it was shown that a monster was created (it's ribs were not covered by skin and the heart could actually be seen, the facial features were unlike their mother, Trisha Elric). But after the homunculus consumes philosopher stones, they regain a physical posture like the human they were supposed to be, but with extraordinary regenaration powers.In real life though, the existence of homunculi is debated (see the related link below for more information). No record of a living homunculi is ever reported.ANSWER 2Since the entire anime/manga is fictional, following the steps and alchemy circle that Edward and Alphonse used would do nothing but waste your time.

Does Edward Elric turn himself into a homunculi?

No! He certainly did not turn himself into a homunculi. In the last episode he got transferred to the 'real world' as a result to bring Alphonse's body back from 'the gate'. Unfortunately, he still had his automail arm and leg but he did succeed in bringing Al's body back (even though Al lost his memory about his life in the armour and his body looked exactly the same as the day they tried to bring their mother back)


How did Edward Elric survive on the other side of the gate?

because he didnt go in. Alphonse did. Edward just tried to bring back al and he said "No please not al TAKE MY ARM, TAKE MY LEG BUT PLEASE BRING BACK MY BROTHER!" He puts als soul in a suit of armor and he looses his arm and leg. if you saw the anime it's atually a really sad moment.
