Child vampire found buried in Italian cemetery
Child vampire found buried in Italian cemetery
In Anne Rice Interview with the Vampire, Lestat "saves" a young woman attacked by another vampire turning her into one, a controversial fact (between vampires) that makes her another vicious murderer of the night. In fifth-century Italy, a young child was buried by the ancient Romans in a way that showed they feared he might rise again like a vampire. What could have cursed a small child to the same fate as Rice's Claudia?
"I've never seen anything like that, it's extremely strange and weird."
in a Press release from the University of Arizona, the archeologist at the University of Arizona, David Soren, describes the discovery of the skeleton of a 10-year-old girl buried in an old Roman cemetery reserved for babies, small children and unborn fetuses. What surprised Soren and the archaeologists at Stanford University and Stanford University was not just its location, but the way it was buried there ... with a rock placed in its mouth, one of the traditional ways of prevent the presumed vampires from rising from their graves.
"Given the age of this child and his unique deposition, with the stone placed inside his mouth, it represents, at this moment, an anomaly within an already abnormal cemetery. This only highlights the uniqueness of the children's cemetery - or now, better said, in Lugnano.
The excavation director, David Pickel, a graduate of the UA and Ph.D. student at Stanford, describes a strange graveyard in Lugnano, a village in the central Italian zone of Umbria. "Abnormal" can be a euphemism, and not only for the recent discovery of what is called the "Vampire of Lugnano". In previous excavations in what they call La Necropoli dei Bambini, the Babies' Cemetery, children's remains have been found buried with raven's claws, toad bones and bronze cauldrons full of ashes and the remains of sacrificed puppies, signs of ancient Roman sorcery. A body of a 3-year-old girl was loaded with stones on her hands and feet to prevent her from rising from her grave, although not necessarily as a vampire. What (or who) was affecting and possibly killing these children and babies and creatures and creating fears that they could return to return the favor ... Claudia?
"We know that the Romans were very concerned about this and would even go so far as to employ witchcraft to prevent evil, whatever pollutes the body, from coming out."
As witnessed by the more than 50 bodies in the cemetery, witchcraft was not a cure or preventive measure for malaria. Soren says that DNA tests on the many bodies found there show signs that the disease killed many of these babies and babies in the fifth century AD. From C. He believes that the same will be found in the "Vampire of Lugnano" because his jaw had a tooth with abscess, a symptom of malaria.
However, there may have been more to the death of this particular 10-year-old child. His body was found in a triangular tomb created by supporting two large tiles against a wall in a style known as alla cappucina or tombe cappuccio dei frati - "hood of the tomb of the friars" - for its unique shape. Then there was the stone in her mouth, which she was forced to open, as evidenced by the scraping of teeth in the rock. Was there something more unusual about this girl? It is possible that this question has to wait until the excavation resumes next spring. Meanwhile, UA Ph.D. student in anthropology, Jordan Wilson, who examined his remains, offers this observation.
"Every time you can see the burials, they are significant because they provide a window to the old minds." We have a saying in bioarchaeology: "The dead do not bury themselves." We can say a lot about the beliefs and hopes of the people and the way they who treat the dead. "
What will our cemeteries and our burial practices tell future anthropologists about us? Have you heard of the boy who was buried on his motorcycle Harley Davidson?
