Italy dig unearths female 'vampire' in Venice

An archaeological dig near Venice has unearthed the 16th-century remains of a woman with a brick stuck between her jaws -- evidence, experts say, that she was believed to be a vampire. The unusual burial is thought to be the result of an ancient vampire-slaying ritual. It suggests the legend of the mythical bloodsucking creatures was tied to medieval ignorance of how diseases spread and what happens to bodies after death, experts said. An undated handout photo from the University of Florence shows the remains of a female "vampire" from 16th-century Venice. Italian researchers believe they have found the remains of a female "vampire" from 16th-century Venice, buried with a brick in her mouth to prevent her feasting on plague victims. Matteo Borrini, a forensic anthropologist from the University of Florence, said the discovery was the first confirmation of a Medieval belief that vampires were behind the spread of epidemics, such as the Black Death.

Khurasan Strike Infantery

Afbeelding
The elite attack force of the Federation of Humanoid Worlds, the Strike Infantry bring unparalleled power to the battlefield. Dropping in single-man pods to the surface of the planet from starships, these troopers wear thousand-pound suits of powered armour which give them immense strength and enhanced senses. Jet- and rocket-boosted, the suit permits the Marine to bounce along the surface of the planet at speeds which would be the envy of 21st century mechanized forces.Each Strike Infantryman has a veritable arsenal of weapons at his disposal, enough to take on the military of a small nation. His two main weapons provide devastating attack ability: a rocket launcher with low-yield thermonuclear warheads for maximum devastation, and a flame thrower to spray gouts of advanced incendiary fluids distances which would astonish 21 century armies. But that's not all. On the rocket/jet booster pack is a rack firing high explosive bombs, and on each arm is mounted a potent secondary weapon

Steampunk Legends - trailer

Steampunk x Fantasy x Alchemistic Magic... In this alternative world steampunk machinery and technologies are heavily intertwined with alchemical spells. People have learned to control elemental spirits, and use them as a power source, intermingling divine powers with gears and mechanisms, creating gigantic ships and enormous trains. But the spirits were to break out, if the alchemical chains were to be corrupted or mechanisms happened to be destroyed. This gave birth to the whole new way of leading combat and developing battle tactics. More Steampunk Legends artwork by Russian artist ArseniXc The videotrailer: spl trailer from ArseniXC on Vimeo .
