History of Vampires

[apex2000]

I love hows she used term at the start "creature" just incase you starting bringing out gods and deitys to totally blow her opening statement out thewater.... thought Im pretty sure Dragons, have a much wider and longer life than vampires, and reach just as far.... and vampires it tricky to isolat vampire myth from other undead and zombie myths.

[rockkong1]

I am a vampire -.-

blood red

pale skin yeah yeah you know the spell

[Bidmartinlo]

Vampires used to be scary, but... everyone knows what happened. -.-

[gurtr]

shut the fuck up granny

[pennyjack2]

vampires suck was a funny movie hint hint

[cloe21112]

now those freaking vampires that look like rats with long fingers obviously have hardly a realation to humans it looke like a mix of a giant bat and a giant rat but it drinks blood

[MrInsanieac]

i hope people will relize that vampyres aren't like in the movies, they have long since past

[Amidalla512]

ok, i seriously doubt vampires are real

[Graymoths]

I am interested in vampires. No, not because of the fact that they drink blood or are dark, mysterious creatures, but it is because that their image is constantly changing in time. They've changed from ugly, old men who drank blood to .. Well, Edward Cullen. I am curious. How would we depict them in the future?

[MrOolala]

Am scared Oh no i hate when pepole say something gona happen in feture:(

[Alieaser]

look at those books...

[GlassByThaddeus]

Vampires are considered dark only because most people don't know squat about them.

The biggest thing people need to know is they are not and never were killers!

[AnimatorLinden]

lol penetrate

[marsoft4647]

Vampires are simply a metaphore for the dark undertones of sexual abuse common in many societies.

It is an outlet, a way of blaming dark urges on others, on unnatural beings who drink blood in this case.

The whole idea of vampirism is simply superstition that has been modernised and made sexy.

[Graymoths]

@marsoft4647 Or, it could also be the manifestation of several medical cases. Such as rare individuals who suffers from sun poisoning.

[marsoft4647]

@Graymoths

As far as I know people with serious problems with sunlight don't suddenly get all emo, dress in black, and drink blood.

:)

[Graymoths]

@marsoft4647 That's something we can all agree on.

[MeanInPink]

@marsoft4647 yeah, same here. I actually HAVE problems with the heat and CANNOT go outside during the summer time when the temps reach 70, thats it for me. I have friends and or relatives go out for me. And it sucks. But yet still, I DO NOT dress In Black!! haha.... cuz I love colors. lol

[Vampiregirl780]

vampires are a long real life history. i love vamps.

[arktikgraywolf]

fucking commercials

[AppleIntercourse]

I bet she gives good head...

[deepengrave]

I like Werewolf but on a fight between vampires, werewolf and zombies, zombies will win eventually.

[overheat]

Vampires are real... not just as people think of them... hell liers, every info you listen aren't real... Damn it!!

[nargothrond1989]

well, yeah the definition totally evolved with time. Just look at Vampires in Twilight now... they sparkle under the sun. -_-

[MsSomeonenew]

@nargothrond1989 Well those sparkly emo's are as much vampires as I am The Hulk.

Can I turn green and indestructible when I'm mad?

No, but I can look sad and sparkle if there is some glitter around :D

[XxBlackWatchxX]

in the human hiostory there always were sick people. some cultures even ate human flesh!!!

the human society is/was/will always be a sick bunch of psychics.

[sirrington]

Not just cultures, people from the "civilised" world alot of horrible people.

[XxBlackWatchxX]

true.

as I said "the human society is/was/will always be a sick bunch of psychics."

doesn't matter if they are "civilised" or barbarians.

[starzrpg]

vampires arnet real.

[Sazmunky]

oh... and my point was that: - all religions, stories, monsters, folk laws and deities do exist... but within ourselvesas people and not as physical entities...

:)

[Sazmunky]

i love how people debate n matters of no real importance... lol

here is a video explaining the difference in the range of vampires available today through the literary techniques employed by the authors of the material in question. Vampires aren't any more real than anything i can imagine right now...

i dont want to draw a parallel to any religion as i dont want to offend... but to disregard religion and to believe in vampires is as ridiculous as disregarding folk law and believing a book

[icelez]

5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require: at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.

6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, Ex. 20.13 by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. Gen. 1.26

[icelez]

after the flood God told Noah

3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. Lev.7.26,27;17.10-14;19.26·Deu­t.12.16, 23 ; 15.23

*26 Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.

27 Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

[Wandervon]

i sw twilight adn new moon and monster vapmires r rlly dum romance 4EVER!!!!!!

[AmurgAprins]

The whole vampire romance thing comes form the fact that real vampires used to trade sexual services for blood ,not killing people but find donors .

[Razor9350]

Upon hearing so much about Vampires and their origins, I can't help but feel insulted by what Twilight has done to them.

[dang151]

i was insulted without knowing much about them lol

[mrlizard888]

@Razor9350 WTF SHINY VAMPIRES??????

[Razor9350]

@mrlizard888 I know, right? What the heck is up with that? Last time I checked, vampires were supposed to be dark, gotchic and awesome!

[Kikinatsu98]

HEHEHE what she means by romance she means........TWILIGHT!

[XCallingX]

I like the hot sexy vampire woman and I hope it stays that way

[TheHollowFace]

Why would they air this stupid shit....

[JeeYaoKuneDo]

Why not?

There's so much other shit on Discovery nowadays anyway... ^^

[crest4578]

Why the hell would Discovery air this shit?

[FastLOCKERZInvites09]

message me for fast lockerz invites

[TrueYardie123]

Hey guess what guy my last name is Drakulich

its Serbian

and the real Vlad Drakul might be related to me because

Drakul means dragon

Drakulich means son of dragon

so bap bap i might be related to some awesome super vampire person.

[jrarchila]

bite me!!

[mastermindgift]

cool..

congratz dude..

are you drink blood too

[princeigor1122]

ne bas drakul je bio rumun al mozda si i ti neki :D mislim ... rumun :D ahha

[pkrange653]

english please.

[AnimeLover13098]

COOL!!!!!!!!!!!

[CrawlAngel]

Dracul also means devil not only dragon =)

BTW his name was Dracul not Drakul.

[AmurgAprins]

It's DRACU not Draku,and it means devil not dragon but people got confused because Vlad "Tepes" (the impaler) belonged to a secret order that hat a dragon on the coat of arms.Dracula was not the first legend of vampires anyway ,vampirism dates back to ancient Egypt and before .

[icelez]

uh the devil is known as the serpent and the dragon THE DECEVIER of the WHOLE world

the movie twilight goes back to the illegal union in genesis

[AmurgAprins]

the movie Twilight kinda sucks ,i was talking about real vampires .The devil is known as many things ,Christians used a dragon first and later a snake to describe Satan ( the enemy).But what i ment to say is ,the real Dracula belonged to a Christian order and was fighting against the otoman turks that wanted to invade parts of Romania.

[icelez]

no actually the Old Testament describes this in isaiah

1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan Job. 41.1 · Ps. 74.14 ; 104.26 the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

[icelez]

that like saying the crusades were by the Christians when it was actually ordered by catholics by their pope and all the knight templars were slaughtered afterward for worshiping lucifer

[AmurgAprins]

Chrstians and Muslims killed people to keep their influence in the world .

[icelez]

in defense or offence? then prove it

[AmurgAprins]

Lol I'm not gonna prove anything , you've got history for that my friend and even history was written to suit the ideas promoted by the strong.Ever asked yourself why there's a pagan symbol in the middle of the Vatican square or why the catholic priests hats look like Sumerian ritualistic costumes?I'm not gonna prove anything , i don't intend to force my opinions upon others.

[icelez]

simplicity of blaming someone not involved is false witness

Catholics whom are overcame by pagans are not Christians

the ceasar became the pope and the empire continued i.e. pagan rome to papal rome

Jesus Christ is the only "pope" any one claiming that position places themselves in the godhead

proof is nessasary and in this account "christians" were in defense

[AmurgAprins]

lmao if Christ is the only "pope" and you are a true Christian why do you own a computer when Jesus said to sell everything and give it to the poor ?

[icelez]

29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,

30 who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

-- a have a more was given in greater abundance-- thanks for asking! = )

[AmurgAprins]

The disciples of Jesus left their homes and wives to follow him .The whole idea of Christianity was twisted in time so today we have all kinds of debates about it .The bible means nothing to me ,like i said i'm only interested in vampires and vampirism.Feel free to believe what suits you best .

[icelez]

the bible should mean everything if you are concerned with why "vampirism" exsists

knowledge is important

Moses was trained and skilled in ALL the ways of the eygptians

yet egpyts idols could not save them moses freely walked his people straight out

[icelez]

meant egypt -ians

[AmurgAprins]

Since i am an atheist , i don't see how the Bible could explain anything for me."Why?" is a question often found in religion and philosophy ,I'm more interested in "How?"Anyway i'm curious what's your opinion about vampires ,you can't really say it's a curse or something like that because there are animals that are vampires too:bats,squids,birds even butterflies.

[icelez]

you have to look into the giants and cannabalism the so called "gods" and there parents the fallen angels/human women the whole reason God destroyed the earth with the flood God said if had not no flesh would be left alive concerning the binding of the angels and the destruction of the nephilim(the giants) though some remained after the flood

[AmurgAprins]

I have no reason to believe in the nephilims.Cannibalism and vampirism are present even in the modern society ,there are cases ,evidence that can be studied .Why would i be interested in some mythological creatures in a jewish book ?

[icelez]

uh the giants were the original cannabals and the human were trying to honor the so called gods there not mythological when the whole world portays these giants

[AmurgAprins]

Dracula is considered a hero in Romania , sure he was very cruel to his enemies but he defended the country against Turks in very hard times and yes he had the support of the orthodox church.I'm not interested in any church or religion , just vampires and vampirism ;)thanks for the reply

[LosEspadas1337]

did you know vampires are ancestors of mosquitoes?

[dand3552]

lol

[b4billujanu]

coool

[trucomment]

if i was a vamp i would kill myself if i look like edward in twilight

[Myfrogsnameisbob]

This is interesting. Vampires are intriguing and I love them.

[AidaSarai22]

Interview with the vampires is greatest piece of literature written about Vampires... Anne Rice did a wonderful job! ^^

[SanityIsForTheWeak0]

Notice she doesn't mention Twiligt. That bullshit sucks too much to be counted along as vampires.

[psychobunny1995]

what's twiligt?

[notverysuperdean]

if only we were all so naive...

twilight = x_x

[misswarchan]

A book series about "vampires"...sparkly vampire. -.-;; Yeah...

[psychobunny1995]

haha sparkly vampires i can see how it's gay

[SazzahMadazzah]

@SanityIsForTheWeak0 Twilight "vampires" aren't vampires. They're disco balls. Look at how they shine.

[Devoti]

@SanityIsForTheWeak0 of course :) anyone can call a fairy a vampire, but the only thing that makes it a vampire is that it actually follow the characteristics of vampires.

[deepengrave]

Werewolf's are the best!!!!

[Mavuriku]

Werewolves. You're welcome.

[Demolitiondude]

Packmates!

[1337l34113r2]

this gives me an idea to make a vampire video game whne i go to video gaming skool :)

[psychobunny1995]

that idea isn't really innovative

[RngrPhantomCLZ]

PSSSSH LOL Twilight is for those lonely Bitches who cant get a boyfriend...They Get the movie so they can find a good frame of ummm who ever the fuck the dude is and pause it and stare drooling. PEOPLE GET A LIFE!!! The Twilight shit is fake and for te guys that have seen twilight I could say the same thing for you..staring at the female vamps >=] So all im saying is get a life....

[streetitalent]

Twilight is just a science fiction! just for entertaining stuff...you all can read vampires book but just read don't follow...thats it!

[kittenclaws]

It's "Science fiction"? No. It's urban fantasy.

[ugoindown44]

Dracula owns twilight ten times over!!

[Demolitiondude]

Do one on werewolves for Christ sake. Werewolves have been with us longer than the fucking vampires. Earliest established vampire lore is from ancient China, the earliest Werewolf lore is from Ancient Greece B.C. and Native American folklore.

[RngrPhantomCLZ]

Yes you are right...But people dont really know about werewolves but someone should speak up if they know anything about Werewolves.

[Demolitiondude]

Are you gonna see the History Channel movie The Real Wolfman?

[AngryBF2Nerd]

WHAT THE FUCK!!!

Discovery Channel keeps getting shittier and shittier...

what the fuck are these stupid shows now.. ghost lab, vampire, zombies, WTF!!!

[DimsimMaster]

dont watch it then fucking nerd

[WERTY1112]

TV in general are getting more and more superstitious. Just goes to show stupid people watch TV more, smart people watch youtube and complain.

[BUDINGkicksADRIANNE]

theres only two things on TV one NEWS two ENTERTAINMENT..well sometimes NEWS is now getting to be entertaining..hehehe but i get ur point..

[Q5574]

Vampires like Twilight just ruin everything.

[CKmothafucker]

Agreed!

[jacobbill]

Alucard, from Hellsing OVA is one of the most respectable vampires I've ever seen. He's bad ass, classy, and has god-like power.

[jude897]

no duh she hasnt read twillight = ,=" i guess is because she old :). who would call that vampire sexy? lol

[spawn1492]

This is what happens when you read Twilight. You become illiterate, nonsensical and stupid.

...Actually, I take that back. You need to be all of those things to even consider reading Twilight in the first place.

[jude897]

lol didnt know stupid people knew how to read or write o .o.

giving a more intellgent answer, i didnt know any of the vampires she was talking about, they were just not from my time, i know dracula (duh). lol my comment was about her calling that vampire sexy. Now about the iliterate, nonsensical and stupid,dont you think judging people just because they read a book you didnt like its kind of childish? :) no hard feeling thou x) you dont even know me and i dont knw you.

[spawn1492]

Have you even read the book "Dracula" by Bram Stoker? Do you even know the plot of the story?

And as for my "...illiterate, nonsensical and stupid..." comment, I was right. Not to mention you spell so many words incorrectly that it makes me want to vomit onto your shitty series of preferred books. The book was terribly written, it lacks common sense and is only liked by 12 year old, single girls for a reason.

[Masterfuryx]

I c you trollin

[spawn1492]

Dey hattinn'

[katchison]

Judging people based on their opinions is a good way to judge people.

[DemonicGemini]

death to Disney vampires like twilight they fucked up the cool image of vampires

[whatuphowslife]

i like noseperotu in spongebob and i think he is cute

[EnforcedCrowd]

i saw the end of that movie last night

it was made in 1922

[mTANGproductions]

count dracula from sesame street is the best vampire of all time.

[The445117]

Hell yes!

[LDLivingDemon]

this chick is totally obsessed with vampires... look at all those books!

[aeminence]

OMG EDWARD CULLEN IS THE BEST VAMPIRE.

[goldgrif]

this romantic hunger for vampirism is recent and became popular with Rice's crap, the best fiction book I have found that keeps vampires in their place is Sins of the Blood, I have met people in the "old country" that still claim to have seen vampires recently. let me tell you it did surprise me. IMO this sexualize the reveants is like making nazis cuddly teddy bears

[jesperc20]

"We are looking at a future that we have never seen before" ... so true!

[RiouInsuiko]

Of course, because nobody can see the future.

[mikaelkozak]

chuck norris can

[RiouInsuiko]

Chuck norris has a pencil made from the marrow of big-foot's bones, and with it, writes existance.

[lynsea]

very cool . thanks discovery!

[Cactuar182]

Such an awesome history and an awesome tradition of vampires, but then Twilight appeared and decided to piss all over our fucking culture of vampires and Dracula.

[enuvune]

i hope the future of vampires isn't sparkly.

[zjbell01]

...and then there was butt fucking Twilight. Bye bye vampires.

[ridingisasport]

Im glad she didnt mention Twilight.

Such a letdown.

[sotesf]

I think this was made before the movie came out

Vampire programs are all over the tv these past few months

[Elfavzla]

thanks to the crap of twilight

[sotesf]

there's more on the way isnt there?

[mzoli1222]

because Lugosi Béla was Hungarian born

[Vleesball]

vamps suck dick

[RawIronMan]

Only the good ones, the rest of them just suck your neck.

[saskchic1011]

>> SO true!! I can't wait to see what shape Vampires take, from now on...

[cb4allstar2]
