Show me where it says that this disease existed during ancient times, since that's when the myth of creatures sucking blood to live their undead lives began. People keep thinking the stories about vampires started with Dracula......well they didn't. They've been around all over the world, since ancient times. Asia, India, Europe, Africa.
1. no proof that this disease existed back then
2. ASSUMING that this disease existed back then, there's a little problem. Children or young adults that were sick or weak would normally either be killed or they'd just die outright. No myths created.
3. again, ASSUMING that this incredibly rare disease (that hasn't been discovered for a long time) existed back then, explain how it ran around the entire world hmm? given that each important ancient culture had these myths, but with variations......
4. The reason why vampire myths started out is much more simple.
here's part of a discussion i had with moosey on the subject a lil while ago:
Moose: "Nations ALL over the world tell similar stories, from the Bhuta in Asia and the Pacific, to the Kappa in Japan: the Civateto in Mexico to the Incubus or Succubus in The Western world. All people's seem to have a VAMPIRE of some sort...dating back to earliest times....it's more than uncanny...it's indicting, in my opinion anyhow."
Me: They're all very different. The Incubus for instance stole the virgins' life energy, not blood in order to survive, but yeah, i know what you're saying. It's just a manifestation of man;s fear of death. The embodiment of this fear is the loss of blood that in ancient times was seen as life. Blood = life, someone that steals it/takes it from you, kills you, and is a monster.
