I have to admit it, I have an addiction! Tonight on The History Channel at 8PM (EST) they are showing: Decoding the Past: Vampire Secrets Since Bram Stoker first published his novel Dracula in 1897, the world's most popular vampire has made his appearance in 44 languages. The vampire myth however, is much older than Count Dracula, popping up from Athens to Beijing almost 1000 years before the Transylvanian legend. Vampire legends have two things in common: drinking blood and returning from the dead. Long before Jesus urged his followers to drink his blood and eat his flesh, prehistoric man held similar rituals. From the Bible and ancient Mesopotamian history to blood drinking societies in New York, we reveal the amazing truth behind one of the most terrifying legends in history. Sunday on Digging for the Truth they are airing: Cleopatra: The Last Pharaoh at 9AM (EST) and following that up with Nefertiti: The Mummy Returns (10 AM (EST). So, if you have not watched The History Channel or History International, now would be a good time to tune in and see what it's all about and maybe I won't be so alone in my addiction! LOL And we can discuss shows in the forum. Tags: novel dracula and digging for the truth and history channel and vampire and bram stoker and different religions and myth |
