Vampires and Archaeology Mini Documentary They are beautiful, aren't they? But yes, you have already seen them! At least one! Every year - or almost -, new ones appear. I am obviously talking about these press articles about "new vampire tombs discovered" here and there in Europe. Fascinating subject, isn't it? But why do we actually say that they are vampires? And then, are we really sure? Well... no. As usual, it's more complicated; and what's more, some of the "vampire tombs" presented in the media are not vampires at all! In short, whip out your best blackcurrant syrup and your most vintage costume: we're off to talk about vampires in archaeology... *** SUPPORT THE CHANNEL The channel lives thanks to your donations: https://fr.tipeee.com/thomas-laurent To wear my colors (clothes): https://shop.spreadshirt.fr/thomas-la...
