Ancient Origins of the Werewolf-Vampire Wars - ROBERT SEPEHR

Summary

The video script discusses European werewolf folklore, delving into the historical persecution of so-called 'wolf charmers' believed to control wolves through magic. It recounts several brutal witch trials, including that of Peter Stump, known as the 'Werewolf of Bedburg.' The script then traces possible origins of werewolf myths back to Ice Age hunter-gatherers' relationship with wolves, speculating this was an alliance aiding Cro-Magnons in dominating Neanderthals. It further associates Neanderthals with vampire and cannibalistic traits, presenting an anthropological theory that ancient myths reference an inter-species war between Cro-Magnons and Neanderthals in prehistory.

Q & A

What evidence suggests neanderthals may have been partially nocturnal?

Neanderthals had larger eyes which may have given them better night vision. They also lacked advanced hunting weapons like bows and arrows used by Cro-Magnons for daylight hunting.

What evidence suggests neanderthals practiced cannibalism?

Archaeological evidence from caves in Belgium shows neanderthal bones with signs of cutting, fracturing, and marrow extraction similar to how they processed animal bones.

How does the author link neanderthals to vampires?

The author speculates neanderthals were nocturnal hunters who drank blood based on evidence they practiced cannibalism. This links them symbolically to vampires in myths.

What distinguished Cro-Magnon skulls from Neanderthal skulls?

Cro-Magnon skulls were round while Neanderthal skulls were elongated. Neanderthals also had protruding brow ridges and larger eyes.

What evidence shows Neanderthal lives were violent?

Many Neanderthal skulls show blows to the head likely from clubs. Skeletons also show signs of trauma, especially in young males.

How does the author link ancient conflicts in the Levant to Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons?

The author speculates the Levant region saw conflict between Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons occupying the same areas, which still affects the region today.

What recent genetic evidence disproves the out-of-Africa theory?

Recent genetic sequencing shows contributions from extinct hominin species like Homo erectus unique to certain populations, contradicting a single African origin.

When did interbreeding between Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons take place?

According to the author, interbreeding took place around 40,000 years ago and lasted about 7,000 years until Neanderthals disappeared.

What modern groups does the author link to possible Neanderthal ancestry?

The author suggests some modern groups, especially those with religious/occult ties, may retain Neanderthal ancestry linked to historical cannibalism.

How can Cro-Magnon ancestry be identified genetically?

The author states Cro-Magnons are closely related or identical to modern Europeans based on genetic sequencing.
