🧛‍♀️ THE MYSTERY OF DRACULA'S TOMB AT NAPOLES

 
The tombstone of marble that, inexplicably, emits a lot of heat - has an inscription in mysterious language. Researchers investigating this strange monument. They try to decipher the message recorded on the effigy that - it is believed, may be the real tomb of Count Dracula, Vlad Tepes (1431-1476), from Romania.

MYSTERIES. ITALY. NAPLES CITY. Researchers at the University L'Orientale of Naples are intrigued by the marble monument located in the architectural ensemble of the Church and the Franciscan convent of Santa Maria La Nova, Naples. Besides an indecipherable inscription, engraved in a language unknown, from one point of the tombstone, exudes a strong and inexplicable warmth.

HISTORY

Two countries already claims to be the place of the 'real tomb of Vlad Tepes III, prince, ruler of Wallachia. These countries are Romania (birthplace of the famous warrior) and Hungary.

Indeed, the tomb of the mythical Impaler is a mystery. According wth historical known  tradition the Prince Vlad died waging war against the Ottoman Turks, his longtime enemies.

His strong personality and even his appearance, were described by Enea Silvio Piccolomini, the future Pope Pius II - in his 'Comments:' ... an honorable man and handsome in his person ... a righteous man... This shows that not all at the time he lived in the prince, they highlighted the bloody cruelty of his character.

He was a Christian struggling to preserve their Christian homeland against the invading infidels. Even being, since that time, in much of the popular imagination - especially of their enemies - the legendary Impaler, lunatic sadist who took his meals enjoying the martyrdom of their victims, tortured with the most painfull practices.

Reportedly Vlad had learned these inhuman methods, he learned how to be a monster - Make them have afraid of you! - With the Ottoman Turks themselves in a period of his youth, when he was their prisoner.

He hated the Turks and died warring against - Basarab III, Batran Laiotă - who disputed the power in Wallachia supported by the Ottoman Empire. 

The best known version tells that Besarab himself killed and decapitated Vlad Tepes. The head, as a trophy, would have been taken to Constantinople.

(http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bassarabe_III_da_Valáquia)

Another version says that - by intervention of his daughter, Maria - Vlad escaped to Italy taking shelter in Naples under the protection of - in the time -  city-state's queen, Juana of Aragon (1455-1517, born in Spain, to Italians - Giovanna di Trastámara) - being consort of the king, Ferdinando I. 

THE ROMANIAN TOMB OF DRACULA

But many don't agree with this version of history and say that in Snagov, are buried mere horse bones.

These believe that Vlad, although badly wounded in the battle, was rescued by their weight in gold and forwarded to her daughter Maria that, during the Ottoman occupation, had moved to Naples.

Despite the discussions, there is some evidence to support the idea of the death of Dracula on italian soil and his tomb in Naples.

The uncle of Queen Juana was King Alfonso of Aragon (1396-1458 - reigned between 1416-1458) - Freemason belonging to the Dragon Order (hence the nickname Drakul) as well as outside the Prince Vlad, following the tradition of his father. Maria, at seven years old, was given to be educated by a Neapolitan lady and later married a member of Ferrillo family. 

THE PARTENOPEA TOMB

Then,  would not coincidence that the tomb of Dracula in Naples be officially known as the Matteo Ferrill tomb. The funeral monument is within a smaller cloister (a room) of the convent of Santa Maria la Nova. Its authorship is attributed to Jacopo della Pila.

The Tomb of Matteo Ferrill - or like it is called, Tomb Partenopea - is adorned with an elaborate representation of a dragon. It is a curious fact when is known that the deceased was Dracula's son in law.

In addition, the monument is adorned with other images which are rare to be found in European graves of the West. Below of  the great dragon, there are two sphinxes.

THE PARTENOPEA CODE

But that's not all. The marble was submited to exams by researchers from the Istituto Nazionale di Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV / Italy - 2015.

On the tombstone occurs an anomalous phenomenon: the rock exudes an inexplicable heat whose origin or cause no scientist was able - still - identify or explain.

To complete the mystery, the inscriptions on ancient characters - that seems to be a code, they are a challenge that - at the time of this reportage - was an indecipherable document.

Until then, philologists discovered almost nothing about this weird language. They konow what it not is:  it isn't Slavic, Croatian or Bulgarian, Macedonian or Cyrillic. 

There are signals that appear to be Latinos. Others, Greeks, Coptics, but it is impossible to distinguish a single word.

The text would been designed by an esoteric expert, perhaps someone who belonged to the Dragon Order. Thus, the words on the tombstone would only be understood by those for who the code keys were known.

IMAGE. Emblem of the Dragon Order

The Dragon enters the life of Vlad Tepes as his father's heritage, this, yes, member of the  Dragon Order and so called Vlad Dracul.

The Dragon Order was a military-religious society, Christian, founded in 1387 by Sigismund of Luxembourg, later Holy Roman Emperor and his wife, Barbara Cillei.

The coat of Tepes family is usually described having, like main figure, a dragon. But the truth is that the most prominent symbol coat of arms of the princes of Wallachia  is an eagle.

South American mummy ritually sacrificed  
By Melissa Hogenboom   
[http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-26357011] 

SOUTH AMERICA/GERMANY - A previously unidentified female mummy was killed in a ritual sacrifice in South America... A team of scientists analysed the skull to find evidence of a blunt trauma to the head, suggesting she died very quickly from the blow. DNA analysis also revealed she suffered from a parasitic infection called Chagas disease.

The mummified woman is over 500 years old, and would have died in her early 20s. She is thought to have arrived in Germany... in 1898. Where exactly she would have lived remains unclear... The researchers therefore suggest she lived near the Peruvian or Northern Chilean coast line.

Cenotes - The sacred Wells of the Mayans

MEXICO/GUATEMALA. In Yucatan, in underground caves there are many wells called cenotes. In this places someone can fell the surviving of a mystic aura that crossed 14,000 years of history of the Maya. 

Considered sacred places, in these caves and waters are made millenar rituals. These caves are also sacred to archaeologists.

Even today, these places are protected, not only by the INAH (National Institute of Anthropology and History) as well, by the descendants of that mysterious people who - until today, performs ceremonies in these caves and cenotes where they make offerings to ancient deities and entities: the Lords of the waters and of the fields. 


CENOTES - WHAT THEY ARE



A cenote located in Belize, country at the northeastern coast of Central America

The cenotes, of different sizes, are formations like wells. They are natural pools, fountains. The term "cenote" -  is a  word  compound of three ideias - TS - ono - OT. 

Together, this concepts refer,  among the mayans , to natural water fountains, wells. Cenotes are cavities of limestone rocks - more or less deep. How were formed during periods of low sea level - in many cenotes, the water is salty.CENOTES.




This is a video of researchers in one of the pools of Belize. The images show a diver approaching a crater. He disappears into a cloud of sand that rises from the depths of the waters. When the video reaches about 3 min and 40 s, appears the rescue of part of a huge human femur.

For the ancient Maya, the underground caves that contain cenotes were inhabited by gods. The spanish catholic religious - Fray Diego de Landa, who was archbishop of the Archdiocese of Yucatán between 1572 and 1579 - claimed that the gods of the underworld have inhabited these caves.  

Even archaeologists must respect the traditions to study these sites. Are released to enter only after going through a ceremony conducted by a wise man, a priest. The ritual includes the reciting of  prayers and spells (from mayan tradition) - during all the night. In the morning, is made ​​the sacrifice of an animal, usually a turkey or a chicken. 

These priests do not allow to any person enter the cenotes. According to their beliefs, the gods, owners of these caves and wells - they can punish, severely,  the violation of their property. Who dares enter the lakes without the ceremonies and permissions may get sick, or worse, may be captured and disappear, can be abduced - forever, into  the waters's mysteries.

Also called El Popo or Don Goyo and, yet - Don Greggorio - the Popocatepetl - located between the Mexican states of Puebla and Morelos, is one of the - almost - 1,500 active volcanoes that exist currently in the world (SONG, 2008).

A volcano is considered active if suffered in recent eruption, in the last 10,000 years. With its 5,500 meters above sea level, with 25 km of base perimeter, perennial glaciers crowning the summit of a conical shape symmetrical, the Popocatepetl is the second highest volcano in Mexico.

Approximate age, 730,000 years. His name means "steamy mountain" what fits perfectly in the criteria defining a volcano as active.

In mythological terms, one of the legends of the Popocatepetl - and are some - is abode of the goddess Mayahuel (lady of drunkenness) and of the Patécatl god, lord of medicine, drugs, peyote and root of pulque, with which is produced with an alcoholic beverage, the aguamel (a kind of mead).

These 'gods form a couple, the regents, masters in the cultivation and preparation of agents (vegetable) that produce an altered state of consciousness.

Although to seem to have asleep for a few decades, in the half of the twentieth century, this volcano, from the 1990s, returned to activity that, since then has increased in regularity and intensity. Throughout this period, of just over two decades, in a relationship enigmatic, also have been multiplied the UFO  sightings in the vicinity of that mountain.

Archaeologists Found the Oldest Package of Marijuana of History

A "berlota" - a raceme, bunch from the marijuana's package found in the tomb of the shaman.

CHINA. The oldest package of marijuana of the world  - "berlotas", bunches - totaling 789 grams - was found in a tomb in Turpan,  China's northwest, buried next to a shaman. 

(Today, at Brasil, usually a decent minimal amount to buy is of 50 grams and berlotas is the local name to call the bunches).

The researchers of the Journal of Experimental Botany - that informed the reportage - they ensure that the batch has over 2 thousands and 700 years and its good conservation condition is due to alkaline soil and the low level of humidity in the tomb.

The tomb of the chinese shaman where was found the oldest package of marijuana of history.

It is speculated that the "tea", the "herb" has been placed in the tomb for use in future life beyond the grave. The neurologist Ethan B. Russo explained:

It was a common practice in burials (in whole Ancient world): to deposit (in the graves) objects and provisions (of all kinds) that - (supposedly) - will be needed to the disembodied in another world (or another dimension of life).

It remains to zealous researchers make all laboratory tests required for discover if this marijuana, after so much time saved - still retains its principles actives.

Not will be too much to imagine that, a devoted a scientist will expose himself of the risk of even personally experience the material,  burning a cigarette of this historic ganja  to confirm its potential narcotic. After all, at 789 grams - who will notice the lack of a thin? 

Let's meditate ...

Machu Picchu - The Small and Mysterious Grave of the Mountain

The tomb on the hill. Mysterious: small and isolated.

PERU. A strange tomb was found on the hill Uñawaynapicchu in the Archaeological Park of Machu Pichu - on Monday, 03/09/2012. Unlike other funerary constructions of the pre-Columbian civilizations of Peru, this grave is located on the top of a rocky hill, about 10 meters below the summit of the elevation, in front of the big wall of Machu Pichu. Small - measures only 1.20 meters long and has 75 cm wide.

The park director Fernando Astete told Andina news Agency: It is unique because all the graves of Machu Pichu, such as those found by Hiram Bingham (north-american explorer and treasure hunter, 1875-1956), are caves that had been closed with stones of different sizes - stacked and covered with mud - which served as the cement of these constructions.

Researchers have realized that this strange sepulture was desecrated but on the spot were found bones and pottery shards. Next to the tomb, were rescued pieces of stone that belonged to it, what allowed to restore the original appearance of the crypt.

Archaeologists and historians have no idea who was buried there but they believe that was a character distinct or at least unusual, given the location difficult to reach and the size remarkably reduced of this mysterious burial chamber.

Três Lagoas city, located in the micro-region of Três Lagoas

In the study Arqueologia e Paleoambiente do Rio Paraná (Archaeology and palaeoenvironment of the Parana River, 2009) - researchers found objects that confirm the human presence and an established culture at the region there are 11,000 years. 

Possibly, in the archaeological period called Pleistocene - or the Ice Age - prehistoric communities inhabiting the region subsisted of fishing and gathering of forest resources.

Only in Três Lagoas, there are 70 archaeological sites where scientists work since 1993. But, not only the Paleolithic tools were unburied, were found more recent artifacts too, like ceramics which were dated at 1.200 years.

The Pioneers of the Photos of Ghosts

The photographs of ghosts began to appear in the nineteenth century, an especially important historical moment for the development and popularization of the  kardecist Spiritism.

William H. Mumler (1832-1884) was the first to  who was Credited the register of a paranormal picture. He left his job at a jewelry store to devote himself - full-time,  to the activity of do photo shoots for people who wanted to have some contact with dead relatives. He charged $ 30 per image when the normal price of a common photo was 10 times minor, more or least. 

Later in the early twentieth century, another man, William Hope (1863-1933) left his carpenter workshop to become a professional photographer of ghosts. He became famous and was much sought after by people bereaved by the loss of loved ones that had been dead in the First World War.

The recognition of his work resulted in the creation of a group called the Crewe Circle of Spiritists, who performed seances with the goal of make contact with dead people, and on these occasions, many images of ghosts have been captured.

AMAPA state. In the mid 1930's, a German expedition, led by German Otto Schulz-Kampfhenkel, entered the Jari River with the supposed purpose of realize a scientific research...

 

To assist in the operation and make less unconfortable the stay in a hostile environment, full of snakes, predators, mosquitoes and other agents of tropical diseases, were recruited indigenous of Aparai tribe and - even - around of 30 woodsmen, experient jungle guides. Otto had a servant even to install his sleep hammock (for sleep)... 

Otto Schulz-Kampfhenkel and his assistants returned to Europe in 1937 taking hundreds of boxes containing furs, skulls, bones, teeth, feathers and bodies preserved in alcohol, materials destinated to the museums of natural sciences in Germany... 

But it wasn't only in the Amazon that the Nazism left the mark of their presence at Brazil.

Archaeologists unveil the Naylamp's legend

In the tomb, located in the complex-Chotuna Chornancap, were

The Legend of Naylamp

PERU. In October, last year (2011), archaeologists from the National Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology "Enrique Bruning" (Museo Nacional de Arqueología y Antropología) of the region Lambayeque made ​​an extraordinary discovery. They found a grave with 120 objects, including ornaments and emblems made ​​of gold, silver and copper as well as 116 pieces of pottery.

In principle, the scientists did think that they had found only one more of the leaders of the Lambayeque culture, which according to oral tradition was founded by the legendary Naylamp, but after excavations patients were surprised to perceive that the remains were not of a man but of a woman.

Then, they remembered that, according to oral tradition, the Huaca Chornancap was dedicated to the wife of Naylamp, Cetemy. Now, many already assume that the found may belong to this legendary woman.

However, archaeologists are cautious. They want to investigate further to give a definitive opinion. They expect to complete the laboratory testing. If confirmed the age of the remains, it means that the bones have about 1.250 years, which reinforces the theory of identity Cetemi.

In this case, is necessary a review of the conceptual approach of Lambayeque culture. Until then, it was considered that at that time and in the midst of this people, only the men that exercised political and religious powers received the funeral honors consistent, in function - with the importance of social position they occupied.

But the finding of a woman buried with the pomp of a queen, along with valuables, can demonstrate that the feminine sex could posses more social relevance than was previously supposed.

Archaeologists, on the basis of popular traditions and previous evidence, they say that in this place, called Huaca, is located the Palace of Cetemi. With base in this information, is assumed that her tomb could be there. The identification of body found will can - finally - confirm the legend which thus becomes part of the history.

Columbus, The portuguese Spy

Posthumous portrait of Christopher Columbus by Sebastiano del Piombo, 1519

HISTORY. According to academic history - the Americas, especially the lands of Central America and North America, were discovered (or rediscovered) by the Italian navigator Christopher Columbus (1451? -1506). The biography of Columbus has always been mysterious. Although - generally considered to be Italian, born in Genoa this information has always been questioned.

Recently, researchers that investigate the life of the sailor claim to have discovered the true identity and the real historical role of the man who became known as Christopher Columbus. José and Antonio Mattos e Silva (engineers, and like appear, brothers) - according to these scholars, Columbus was not born in Genoa in Italy but in Portugal around the year 1450, a village in the Alentejo - south-central region of the country - called Cuba.

His real name would have been Sancho Anes da Silva - son of the "Infanta"* Leonor of Portugal - future empress of the sacred Roman Empire and Dom João da Silva Meneses (future Blessed or pious Amadeus)

According to official history, Columbus had his project of to navigate to the West - in search of an alternative sea route to India - rejected the Portuguese monarch of the epoch, Dom João II. The idea was welcomed by the Spanish kings, called the Catholic Kings, Ferdinand and Isabella (Fernando e Isabel). However, the hypotesis is that during all the time in that he had stood dedicated to realize your adventure, Columbus was - in truth - in the service of the Portuguese kingdom, as a spy.

In their conference (realized at Columbus House - Casa de Colombo), in the freguesia** (parish) of Vale do Paraiso (Paradise Valley, a village of Azambuja***), the researchers Mattos e Silva said that - finally, the true identity of Columbus was discovered and revealed that his voyage - in particular, his return to Europe, included the passage unofficial in Portuguese lands before his arrival at the port of Palos, Spain.

The return journey began on January 3, 1493. The logbook (daily of board) omitted a passage in the Azores islands but in any case would have the excuse of a change of course caused by a storm. However, the deviation was beyond and Columbus, without motivation justified, arrived in Lisbon - in March of 1493.

There would have happened their secret meeting with (the potuguese king) Dom João II in Vale do Paraiso (the same place where researchers presented their theory). In addition, he visited his mother, Dona Leonor - that - at the time, was in the Convent of St. Anthony Chestnut, in Vila Franca de Xira.

There - would have happened their secret meeting with (the portuguese king) Dom João II in Vale do Paraiso (the same place where researchers presented their theory). In addition, he visited his mother, Dona Leonor - that - at the time, was in the Santo António da Castanheira Convent (Convent of St. Anthony Chestnut), in Vila Franca de Xira. Only after these interviews, resumed their destination to Spain.

The passage by Portugal and the meeting with the monarch are - indeed - something of suspect. For researchers, Columbus reported his findings to the king Portuguese before doing the same with the Spanish kings. Ensuring thereby, the economic and political advantage to Portugal, acting as a spy

The aim was to influence the decisions of the (Bula Papal) Papal Bull Inter Coetera, promulgated by Pope Alexander VI that - by the regulamentation of the possession of newly discovered lands in the West, would be favorable to the interests of Portugal as regards the specification of the landmarks of the territory.

The Papal Bull was published on May 3, 1493, before of Vatican know the outcome of the voyage of the browser "Genoese". Later, Portugal got an even better agreement with the signing of the Treaty of Tordesillas (Tratado de Tordesilhas).

The mysterious civilization of the Peruvian Amazon (more informations)

According to archaeologist Quirino Olivera Núñez:
This civilization had knowledge of geometry,
developed a social organization elaborated enough
to coordinate collective public works.
See + photos of the archeological in the RPP website

PERUVIAN AMAZON. For over two Centuries of archaeological science, the existence of some kind of advanced civilization - Non-Neolithic - in the Amazon region was ignored and - even - rejected. However, the recent discovery of an archaeological site with unique features in the Peruvian jungle requires a complete review by the researchers. The idea of an untouched ​​forest that has always been Inhabited only by primitive tribes incapable of any more elaborate work, can not more be sustained.

There some time, deforested areas of northern Latin America, especially in the Brazilian state of Acre, began to reveal drawn geometric formations traced in soil : the geoglyphs. But that was not enough to advance the discovery of truth. Recently, step forward changed - in definite - the idea of a virgin amazonian jungle.

Archaeologists found the structure of a temple has 3.200 years of age with a configuration that reveals the remote existence of an ancient nation - people who had lived there and had a knowledge far beyond what was observed among the indigenous primitive, simple hunters and gatherers.

The archaeological site is broad: it includes four provinces of the Amazon region: Bagua, Utcubamba, San Ignacio and Jaen. Reaches the territory of two countries, Peru and Ecuador. The project, therefore, is binational and was authorized by General Direction of Cultural Heritage (Direção Geral do Património Cultural).

The temple has columns distant among themselves at a precise distance of 1.40 meters. It means evidence of a mathematical knowledge, of measures of space and practices of collective work.

The building is of old masonry made ​​of clay and straw, as many of the buildings of antiquity found in the Middle East and Mesopotamia, for example. The construction is decorated with colorful murals where they find themselves represented human figures and abstract themes, as combinations of horizontal and vertical lines.

The architecture, classified as monumental, shows that its builders had, in fact, a significant degree of technological advancement. According to perquisador Quirino Olivera Núñez, to build such a structure with these dimensions and characteristics, including stone columns - that, it is assumed,were taken from the rivers - such work, would require a large collaborative effort led by highly qualified masters.

This finding implies the existence of a sedentary nation, who must had inhabited the region for many years. In addition, the building that is being discovered and investigated in this moment of the search, is characterized as a ceremonial center, religious - meaning that - these ruins are of a people who developed the idea of ​​religion and ritual worship of gods. A culture more complex of that was conceived by the amazonian tribes - in neolithic level, nomads - known even then.

THIS IS LOCATED IN MEXICO, according the reader Blakbeard.

GREAT BLACKBEARD!

According to the reader Blackbeard the wall to which it relates this matter is another. This would be the picture correct, above. It's beautiful but... this painting is also of Bonampak.

The error is of the newspaper (INFO341/Argentina) that put the matter on the page with a lateral image that does not belongs to the "archaeological site" mentioned in the text: Las Juntas

Writes Blackbeard:

The wall in this article (INFO341/Argentina) is from Bonampak, Mexico. And it still provides the source of the picture and location of the mural that confused me.

The paintings were discovered on the inside and outside of a temple which has the shape of a rectangle that has a dimension of about 40 square meters. So far, archaeologists have unearthed a wall of 2.20 meters wide and - even - they found several columns.

The predominant colors are red, white, black and yellow. According to experts, the murals are strong evidence that - in the Amazon - existed a civilization that achieved high levels of technological development.

Despite the torrential rains that occur daily in the area, the murals have been preserved because they remained covered by an impermeable layer of rock and clay 15 cm thick that protected the paintings for thousands of years, the researchers said.

The excavations and studies continue in the area with the permission of the Ministry of Culture of Peru and funding of the Regional Government of Amazonas.

(Barnacles are sea creatures and crustaceans - that adhere to surfaces underwater rock formations, the skin of other animals such as whales, for example, and boat hulls.

The rescue of Thyatira

Video recovered by Brazil Weird News in 2023

The discoverer of the piece was the diver Fernando Vagner who went to the site only to rescue a net of a fisherman - who was trapped in the depths

Fernando announced his discovery and an expedition was organized to investigate the case. 

The naval enginner, Francisco Glegiston tells: In this area of the coast the raids were frequent (But, later, was verified that this was not the case). It is an ancient ship (at this point of the investigation, researchers hadn't - yet - the identification of the origin and age of the find)

The investigation continued. The stern was examined. A piece of crockery with inscriptions and a symbol was found - as well a ceramic object. The mast broken revealed that it was a sailing craft, a sailboat. (There hadn't motor).

Finally, taken the proper cares, a big fragment was rescued by means of a cable. The crust of sediment was removed and - then - appeared the figure of a compass rose and the boat's name: Thyatira. The mystery was revealed.

The Thyatira was a sailboat from 60 meters in length and three masts. He left London bound for Rio de Janeiro on July 16, 1896 and disappeared or, better, it sank on this point of the Brazilian coast.

In the epoch, according to the reports of survivors, there was a fire on board. The crew could not get to control the fire. It was a very dangerous situation because there was 800 packets of dynamite on board. 

Given the risk, the commander gave orders "to abandon the ship". All crew survived. The Thyatira broke in half in a loud explosion that lit up the first hours of the dark dawn
