"""The Germanic peoples In De Bello Gallico 6.21–28, Julius Caesar provides his audience with a picture of Germanic lifestyle and culture. He depicts the Germans as primitive hunter gatherers with diets mostly consisting of meat and dairy products who only celebrate earthly gods such as the sun, fire, and the moon (6.21–22). German women reportedly wear small cloaks of deer hides and bathe in the river naked with their fellow men, yet their culture celebrates men who abstain from sex for as long as possible (6.21). Caesar concludes in chapters 25–28 by describing the Germans living in the almost-mythological Hercynian forest full of oxen with horns in the middle of their foreheads, elks without joints or ligatures, and uri who kill every man they come across.
However, the distinguishing characteristic of the Germans for Caesar, as described in chapters 23 and 24, is their warring nature, which they believe is a sign of true valour (hoc proprium virtutis existimant, 6.23). The Germans have no neighbors, because they have driven everyone out from their surrounding territory (civitatibus maxima laus est quam latissime circum se vastatis finibus solitudines habere, 6.23). Their greatest political power resides in the wartime magistrates, who have power over life and death (vitae necisque habeant potestatem, 6.23). While Caesar certainly respects the warring instincts of the Germans,[4] he wants his readers to see that their cultures are simply too barbaric, especially when contrasted with the high-class Gallic Druids described at the beginning of chapter six.[5] For example, Caesar writes that robberies committed outside of the state are legalized in hopes of teaching young people discipline and caution, an idea nearly offensive to the judicial practices of the Romans (ea iuventutis exercendae ac desidiae minuendae causa fieri praedicant, 6.23). Caesar's generalizations, alongside the writings of Tacitus, form the barbaric identity of the Germans for the ancient world. """

How do vampires turn humans into vampire by biting them?
""""The Viking thralls and warlords had their own journeying meadhall and fireside tales of tale to wend among themselves. The Icelandic scripts from the 900 -1100’s A. D. still in the Reykjavik museum list stories of heroic struggle against the Dead returned to glut upon flesh and flowing blood. There was / is a breed of Undead which was bluish, of hideous wolven teeth and dagger-like claws. These things could / can swell to almost twice size, possessing almost phenomenal strength and dizzying speed. Whether peasant sheep-herder or battle veteran lord - they came and with the late hours of night visit upon the side of the face, the hand, or elsewhere a wound soon to be infected and thence drive one to the grave . . . from which they would rise and launch themselves against a hardly prepared for populace.
It was as an infection and in a single night, up to 3 days, the prone and helpless victim would perish, then rise again.
Only dismemberment and cleansing fire can remedy these voracious monstrosities who could even rise from the deeps of the sea and fling themselves at a startled dragonboat ship’s crew, seaweed clinging and bone glinting from slimed leather and rusted metal armour gear.

History was written by the victors of course.
IF you didn't read everything literally backwards and opposite maybe you should try it. Or some discernment of the truth.
Myth and truth and history are unknown. Only the great unknown drives us humans to discover what we can under whatever rocks present themselves at the time.

You don't .
You question it.
and then, take time in the talking to it if you're lucky enough to have the time of traveling to the underworld to ask more questions

I like to believe that a lot if mythological creatures existed. But you also have to think, we are humans. If we see a monster we are going to come together and kill it. I think we literally killed all the monsters

The West would have a lot less to fear from zombies rising from the grave if we took to Indian practices of cremation sooner
of course, instead Westerners just end up transporting the disease with them into other cultures
