Almost everyone in this world knows the vampire as a horrible blood-sucking creature. Vampire is very famous and often used as an inspiration to create stories, movies, songs, etc. Is the vampire so famous only a legend, or indeed there is a world ?? this is the reality ..
A few days ago a reader named Rizqii ULya asked me to post an article on the origin of the vampire. Because I do not want to disappoint the reader then I will discuss about Vampire as much as I can. hhe
Vampire
Until now countless how many stories, songs, and movies depicting this mysterious creature. Actually what is a vampire? does it match the one depicted in film2 ??
If in the film we are indoctrinated to recognize the vampire as a horrible blood-sucking creature, usually human (if it had been a vampire rada face now the vampire ud face was better "as in twilight") . Vampire is usually told as a blue-blooded creature, can only get out at night, if the sun will disappear, thirst for blood, can die if stabbed silver in the heart, anti-crucifix and yam, and other vampire traits depicted in films.
Apparently the vampire reality is not like that.
Origins
It may be a bit boring to tell history, but I've been as succinct as I can.
Vampire originated in Romania and began to spread in Europe in the 16th century. Vampire or can be called "Dracula"is a true story. The history of Dracula comes from a Romanian king in the 15th century named Vlad Dracul.
Vlad Dracul is a brave and famous Civil War king of the 14th century. His ability in battle is undoubtedly seen from the number of wars he won. It is believed that Vlad Dracul had a special ritual before starting the battle, drinking and bathing with the corpse's blood that he had defeated (but I do not get corroborating evidence of this).
Here is the palace of Vlad Dracul in its heyday His cruelty continued from generation to generation of his generation. Is Vlad Tepes III later dubbed Dracula (refer to the name vlad Dracul, his predecessor)
because of his cruelty that equals vlad dracul. Vlad Tepes III (Dracula) lived in 1431 and died in 1476. The
cruelty of Vlad Tepes is famous for the way he punishes the prisoners in a sadistic way, that is to be skinned and pinched (punctured by piercing from the anus with wood as big as the arms of a man an adult with a pointed end, a stabbed victim then stuccoed so that the wood of the hammer passes through the stomach, throat, and head) . Believed at Dracula's cruelty and success in warfare was due to Dracula continuing his predecessor Vlad Dracul's ritual for bathing and drinking human blood.
Until the Crusades, Dracula had killed hundreds of thousands of his captives by impulse and most of them were Muslims. Finally at the crusade Dracula was defeated by the sultan Mehmed II, his head beheaded and dedicated to the Ottoman Turks to honor the victims (citizens of turkey) who became victims of Dracula's cruelty.
ut not until there, because the success of Vlad Dracul and Vlad Tepes III in the war many other leaders want to follow in his footsteps. Finally in the 15th, 16th, 17th century, there was the Dracula epidemic (following the Dracula ritual, ie bathing and drinking human blood). From this habit is called2 has been born a new human species that drink blood. Some believe that Vlad Dracul's descendants still remain today and still continue that awful ritual (I can not confirm the truth).
Now it is clear Dracula is a reality and exist in the world (but the existence of their clan / ethnicity is now doubtful still exists). But the history above can not explain where it comes the characteristics of Dracula as blue-blooded, pale face, thirst for blood, hate garlic, etc .. Europeans, especially Romanians, believe that the Dracula species (the descendants of Van Dracul) do have such characteristics and physical characteristics. How is the explanation scientifically? Is science able to explain it
Scientific (Science)
If in terms of science we must see what diseases or disorders that have symptoms and traits such as Dracula. Apparently indeed there are diseases in this world that meet these criteria, namely Porphyria .
Porphyria is a disease of gene disorder in which the sufferers lack glycine enzymes that function to form Heme . Heme is a component of hemoglobin that serves to transport oxygen in the blood. Imagine if Heme is lacking and oxygen is not transported perfectly, then the body will be pale blue. Therefore Porphyria sufferers can not be exposed to sunlight, because sunlight can burn their skin. (2 Dracula traits have been missed)
Besides, due to the low blood quality due to lack of oxygen circulation, the Porphyria sufferer must donor (transfusion) the blood regularly. In fact he said they should drink the blood directlyso that blood directly into the digestive system and broken down into the bloodstream.
The quality of blood is also determined by the level of fat in the blood. Garlic contains a substance that causes blood fat levels to decrease. Maybe that also explains why Dracula hates garlic. It is also said Porphyria is a disorder disease that can be hereditary (hereditary disease).
Porphyria comes from the Greek, porphura which means purple. This name refers to the color change of some body fluids to purple, one of them urine, so in accordance with the symptoms / characteristics of the disease. Here's a picture of Porphyria Looks terrible indeed, but all the criteria of Vampire / Dracula are in Porphyria sufferers. From here we can conclude if
Dracula is not a special clan / ethnicity of Vlad Dracul's descendants, but Vlad Dracul and his descendants are Porphyria sufferers.

Almost all questions about Vampire have been answered in accordance with my description above. But there are still cases and testimonies of people in various areas that are mysterious and still not answered. Here's a case I can get.
Testimonies and Genesis
Mysterious events about Dracula are passed down through generations by people in various regions. The story of this society was first appointed by Irish author Bram Stoker in 1987 in his ghost story "Coun Dracul" which turned out to be famous and continues to be filmed to the present day (the famous twilight "
This one incident is one of many testimonies about the Vampire.
According to legend Dracula comes from the dead who rose from the grave. In 1732 in the region of Hungary was reported a villager who had died for three years, suddenly rose from the grave and attacked his family. He sucks the blood of his four nephews to death.
The locals do not stay silent. They immediately dismantle the grave that the Dracula suspected. Apparently they get something beyond expectations, the corpse that was buried for years it was still intact. His hair and nails were long, his eyes half open, and his heart seemed to be still pulsing. Strangely again in his mouth there is a trace of fresh blood that has just dried up.
Eventually the locals killed the corpse for the second time by placing an iron stake directly above his heart (this may be the origin of why the Vampire only died if stabbed in the heart).
The following images are predicted to be the Dracula. If based on the testimony of the Hungarian population above, then there are questions that can not be answered such as, How could the corpse can live again? why the corpse did not rot? how the fate of his four nephews who died was sucked his blood ?? why no record about them ?? and others. Even more strange there is the confession of someone who says that he is a Vampire. The recognition is shown on National Geographic Channel and you can see on youtube by clicking the link below.
Vampire, is it real ??
Vampire confession
Do you believe in her confession that she is a vampire? Do you also believe that the girl has been sucked by Vampire? it's all up to U ...
Conclusion
We can now conclude that Dracula or Vampire is actually a descendant of the king of Romania who has Porphyria disorder and performed a ritual of drinking the fresh blood of human beings whether it was dead or alive. However, because the services of Vlad Dracul and Vlad Tepes III in war were considered by a certain great nation, their ugliness was disguised so that the Dracula legend was created as in the present films.
Then all the gampies have been answered about Vampire. But in other versions, people continue to tell the legend of the Vampire hereditary. Strangely the legend really happened as happened in Hungary. That's a simple discussion of my vampire. Hopefully the above discussion can add to our insights about the Vampire and can satisfy the readers.
