As Romania and Ireland vampire is not shared

Any child will tell you that Dracula - the real man. Hab
In the Middle Ages in Transylvania. A graph. Soot whom no
falling on a stake, and what he is famous ... Mouths of babes,
Of course, saith the truth. But not when it
comes to vampires. Recently, more and more often heard
question: Was Dracula?

Dracula was never a romantic Romania! Scientists have proved that the famous vampire - a normal Irish guy with red hair and freckled!

By drakulovskim places
Last year, the Romanian city of Brasov (by the way, he is in the same Transylvania), passed as many as the second World Congress on (quote) "the evolution of the image of the vampire and the devil in modern society." Scientific "coven", organized by Transylvanian Society of Dracula (there is!), Vampiropoklonnikov gathered from around the world, some even flew
from faraway Argentina and Australia. At the Congress were three dozen
speakers. All they talked about how to change over the last
while the traditional vampire myth.
One of the most important change was "disconnects between
fictional and historical Dracula Count Vlad Tepesom. "" Well,
finally! "- were relieved scientists, and even used to come all
anyone who feels like a vampire equate with poor Vlad. Yes, Tepes lived in
Transylvania. Yes, he had the title of count. Yes, there was no action is cruel and
really loved to impale. That is all that can
Tell any child - the truth. But all are referring to
Tepesu, not the mythological vampire Dracula. Tepes different
blood-thirsty, but not krovopiystvom and equate it with a vampire
like many authors of books and movies about Dracula, there is no
grounds. Ivan the Terrible, too, won a stake planted, so what now - and
a vampire? In short, resent Romanians. After all, Vlad Tepes for them -
something like a national hero. At one time he was very poradel of
country and played a significant role in Romanian history. So down with the sign
Equality! Tepes and Dracula - are two big differences (participants
"Vampire" Congress clearly proved this), and hypothetical
relationship between these characters solely by idle inventors,
whose works - movies and books about vampires - in Romania do not like.
Romanian tour operators in the light of new scientific research has
adapted themselves to clearly distinct "tepesovskie place" and "drakulovskie.
Say, look right: here in this castle with so and so on
such a year lived a real (!) Count Vlad Tepes. Now look
left: and in this castle, the legendary (!), lived Dracula.
Incidentally, in May this year in Romania will be the third congress
Transylvanian Society of Dracula, completely dedicated
to the memory of the historical graph Tepesa (not Dracula).
Motherland - Ireland?
Meanwhile, Dracula decided "to seize" in ... Ireland. Romania for
that fought for it and came across: do not want to recognize the connection between vampires
with her darlings Tepesom, so now they have altogether taken away
right to be called compatriots Dracula. Because Release
folklorist Bob Kurranta, the most famous vampire in the world comes
not from Eastern Europe, and, quite the contrary, from the North
- From Ireland.
Kurrant (he teaches Celtic history and folklore in Ulster
university), many dug in with ancient and
found that Ireland is like no other country is replete
legends about vampires.
For example, according to legend, in the V or VI century AD in the Irish
Slotaverti town (in our This Skotoboynevsk) rules a
Abhartach, evil sorcerer. His citizens hated him, and finally
persuaded the leader of a neighboring tribe, Katana, kill Abhartacha. Katan
for nothing celebrated the work of the killer and buried sorcerer. But
the next night Abhartach risen from the dead, and demanded to give him
drink. But not any well water, and ... blood from the veins
his subjects, full cup. Catan again killed and buried
restless, but the sorcerer came to life again and again demanded a cup of blood.
Abhartach become umruna - Irish zombies, but also in
"Dragdyulu", a local variety of vampire. It was impossible to kill
but it could immobilize, and this sword to pierce from yew
tree and buried upside down, covering the ash branches and
crushing the grave stone blocks. Katan did all this, and Abhartach
is no longer the people and forced them to become donors
blood. The grave, which allegedly buried a sorcerer, so far
preserved in a vacant lot behind Slotaverti. By the way, four years ago
wasteland like to clear. But the workers broke down three times, chainsaw,
when they tried to cut down growing on the grave of thorns. And when they
with a tractor began to raise the stone, which lies on the last
shelter Abhartacha, steel cable snapped and ... nearly tore his hand
one of the workers. Blood, bursting from the wound, immediately
absorbed into the ground at the grave of a vampire. This is considered a bad omen and
ceased to bother the dead.
In the legend of Abhartache in Irish folklore, there are plenty of
various horror stories about highway robber who killed
Travelling and drink their blood, the fairies, and other bloodsucking vampire ...
Yes, and the famous Dracula made by none other, as the Irishman Bram
Stoker, who wrote in the middle of the XIX century novel about a vampire. But
according to research by Bob Kurranta, Stoker never been
Transylvania and working on a book, rather than leaning on
Romanian, but on the native Irish folklore. What's the name of his hero
had not Irish, so it's just a diversion.
Kurrant reached the point that said, if the vampires - it is generally
the image is not characteristic of the Romanian cultural tradition (the word in
Romania's "Dracula" Stoker translated and published only in 1992).
According to Bob, Romanians have just the first things that are bad
lay, pocketed Dracula, as it could do Latvians
Mongols, the Papuans of New Guinea ... Yes, anyone! And argued
Now all of them that Dracula is actually our Irish guy
red-haired, freckled and just out of the pub!
In Romania, this, of course, disagree. And although the Romanian scientists in
Once again, specifies that this Dracula, which he ordered
Bram Stoker, in Transylvania never really lived (with a
mind that Vlad Tepes was not as Dracula), however, they
responsibly declare: part vampire, vampires and other evil in
Eastern Europe in order. After all, is still in some
God-forsaken Romanian village can meet the old man, whom
young and old believe dokoy part ejection vampires. No wonder
local farmers to be serious set crosses on the roofs
their houses and tied red ribbons on the cart - the evil eye.
