This woman’s remains date to the 16th century when the bubonic plague devastated Europe, killing about 50,000 people, or nearly a third of the city’s population. According to the explanation of Nuzzolese and Borrini at the University of Florence (Italy) in the French Science Magazine in 2010, this woman’s remains were wrapped in a shroud and were considered a vampire. A shroud is needed to cover it because when the corpse shrinks, parts such as fingernails and toenails can grow into vampires. The brick stuffed into the mouth of the remains was probably to ward off the monster and is believed to be the first evidence of a vampire burial in archaeology.

Contrary to the above view, physical anthropologist Simona Minozzi at the University of Pisa in Italy believes that the brick just accidentally fell into the mouth of the woman’s remains. The arguments given by Borrini’s team are not convincing enough. According to Minozzi, there are many bricks and stones around the remains. Because the jaws of corpses are often wide open, it is very likely that bricks and stones will fall into it. Furthermore, there is no clear evidence of a shroud at the collarbone position of the above skeleton. Minozzi calls the idea of ​​vampires nonsense. But in recent years, there has been news about vampires in Italy. She said that it was just to attract attention and attract research funding.

Borrini’s side rejects the above opinion and will conduct a detailed discussion of the area where this remains was excavated to prove their hypothesis.

The body of a baby burned 11,500 years ago, the claws of a giant Moa, the bones of hundreds of infants… are some of the macabre discoveries in world archeology.

Discovered the body of a baby cremated 11,500 years agoArchaeologists studied the area where the baby’s body was found.Scientists discovered her body while doing archaeological research in Alaska. The body, believed to be that of a 3-year-old child, was burned. From the remains of the body, scientists determined that the baby was cremated about 11,500 years ago.Discovering the tomb of headless Vikings warriorsRailway workers in Dorset County, England, discovered a grave of Viking warriors. The terrifying thing is that these bodies were all…beheaded. Initially, archaeologists believed that the victims were murdered. However, that idea was quickly dismissed because the cuts were sweet and appeared to be done from the front rather than the back.Unearthing the claws of a giant MoaThe giant Moa’s claws are on display.In 1986, an archaeological team discovered a giant claw in Mount Owen, New Zealand. After conducting research, archaeologists determined that this claw belonged to a giant prehistoric bird, commonly known as the Moa.The bones of hundreds of newborn babies were discovered in an ancient Roman bathRoman baths, where hundreds of infant skeletons were discovered in the sewers.When archaeologists in Israel excavated sewers beneath an ancient Roman bath, they found hundreds of infant skeletons there. There is still no reasonable explanation for this scary incident.Found the first human bone with leprosySkull of a patient with leprosy from 4,000 years ago .In human history, leprosy (leprosy) is one of the most heavily stigmatized diseases. During a survey in India, researchers discovered a 4,000-year-old skeleton. The skeleton is evidence that, even 4,000 years ago, leprosy existed and people were very stigmatized about this disease. According to tradition, the dead must be cremated. However, finding the skeleton in an intact condition shows that the victim was discriminated against in society.Found “Vampires in Venice”The “vampire’s” skull was stuffed with bricks in its mouth.A mass grave was discovered outside Venice, Italy. In it, the dead person had a brick stuffed into his mouth. According to ancient beliefs, this is one of the ways to prevent dead vampires from being able to revive and suck human blood again. Archaeologists believe that the legend of vampires has spread to Venice and this is the clearest evidence.(Source: AsiaOne, ViralNova)
