The myth of the bloodsucking vampire has stalked humans from ancient Mesopotamia to 18th-century Eastern Europe, but it has differed in the terrifying details. So, how did we arrive at the popular image we know, love and fear today? And what truly makes a vampire...a vampire? Michael Molina digs up the science and the superstition.
Lesson by Michael Molina, animation by The Moving Company Animation Studio.
A history of vampires explained by a vampire YESSSSS
Definitely not altered in any way
And he's adorable as heck
666th life
Well yea cause history of humans were explained by humans as well have you seen a bull explaining the history of human?
@@lunar3clipfan441 damn i didn't even realize so many people would like my comment. Missed the 666th like.
Who’s having a TED-Ed videos marathon ? These animations are incredibles

Simply one of the best video they have ever made!
Thanks for mentioning Malaysia and our own version of Vampires!
That moment when you’re borned with sun allergy AND from Transylvania...

Before you know it you’ll be craving blood

Annabeth Chase because I live in the real world where vampires burn in the sun.
Annabeth Chase hi, how is Percy doing? Is he still being a seaweed brain?
A sparkling vampire, really!!! What else they gonna be in the future huh vampire that puking rainbow and help people?
@@aimansyahmidzulkhairy909
It feeds on your happiness, so to make more, it helps out and pukes rainbows.
But then, something goes wrong, and the vampires just eat all of the happiness.
@@IrvingIV thus the great depression era begin.
Happy Birthday Slice!
Just what I always wanted like Christmas!
" I GOT BIT BY A VAMPIRE "
OMG what's his name
" MOSQUITO "
We all got blood sucked by those pesky little vampires
@@neutralpie420 mosquito aka little assholes
I swear I read "Show less" as part of your comment. I may be out of blood.
lol
Fun fact: mosquitoes actually aren’t meant to drink blood, they are supposed to have sugar it makes them live longer.
There is no way this video wasn't created as misinformation by a vampire
Lol that sounds like alot of trouble. But if you have eternity, a week making a fake vamp video is nothing. ♥️🧛♂️
lol we know it was
My life has been a complete and total misery ever since Bigfoot stole my precious girlfriend in the middle of the night.😒I am most upset.
There is a lot of that lol
He didn't want to violate the masquerade.
I mesmerized it, another form perfect vision

What would be the conditions for it?
This my universe again now I need more.
that accent tho ...
Is epic.
love it😁😁😁😁
So all Spanish people are vampires?
Sounds Russian lol
+Kris Silveira That's because Vlad the Impaler was romanian,but the western people have the wrong idea that all the east european conturies have russian accent,wich obviously is wrong.In fact romanian is mostly latin being very close to italian.
This guy does an awesome Dracula. I could just listen to him tell a spooky story and it would totally set the mood.
well the whole concept of Dracula's accent is wrong ...he was romanian not russian or something
I think Bela Lugosi was Hungarian
This accent was terrible. The narrator was horrendous
I liked the accent as well and would love a vampire creepypasta story teller
Cheers to another opportunity!
keepin' it trill & passing the torch
"Even sparkling vampires can be included."😂
Lol the twilight reference
Yea that's cheeky lol
No... no they can not be included lol
@@MaatsMerkaba The vamp said they can, so imma believe him
@@MaatsMerkaba I agree. The sparkling vampires didn’t happen, right, everyone?

i like how ted-ed's captions have so many language options. captions are often an unforgotten, but important, aspect to videos
+1000FOF hey shawol!
1000FOF yes! and are 100% correct
Yes the building is great.
A music set is perfect for communication: This mess around drew in cars
A sparkling vampire is a mosquito who fell in glitter.
OH MY GAAWWDDD YASSSS!!!!
heh
so if I trapped a mosquito in a jar full of glitter and said I caught a sparkling vampire it would be true, I caught a vampire
Ohh....I though it was mention of that shit movie twilight.
NicoMajor101 A mutant one.
Can you make a same video like this, but with mermaids,please?
and ponies!
And werewolves!
There's not really much diversity in mermaids unlike the vampire, there's kinda just only the human body with the fish tail, not really anything else
Chris Ramsey In fact, the first mermaids were female-like bird who would kidnap men and drown them before eating them...so no, not all mermaids are fish :)
HappyMars Ending that's interesting, Chris there is so many interesting facts and gory stories about mermaids!
I'm my own Stealth Air Force: Hello, how are you?
After skateboarding this place is well lit..
Imagine a creature that is, by design, the perfect predator of human beings. Intelligent, cunning, and able to use a human appearance as a form of camouflage to move about undetected. Now imagine that creature is strong as a lion and has to consume it's body weight in blood every night. I think movies and television haven't made vampire anywhere near as frightening as they could be.
Wait a month and someone will suggest nuke
yeah, I feel like the 'classic' vampire has become kind of cheesy and unimpressive.
I remember in New Moon [gag] they told the story of how the wolves started when the "cold woman" came to destroy their people. in the movies, as horrible as they were, the actress who played the "cold woman" did a very good job of portraying exactly what you just described in just the few minutes of screen time she had, a vicious animal with human intelligence. just squint so you can't see the glitter 😅
I was going to say Wolfen until you said "human". I recommend reading the book or watching the movie though, because that's kind of what it's about: Man's natural predator living in hiding all around him, unseen.

An 8 year old comment :0
anyway yall missed something, word Vampire is word of Serbian origin and first “Vampire” case that ever occurred was also in Serbia and it was about some dude named Petar Blagojevic that supposedly got out of his grave every night and sucked peoples blood, and people also said that when they dug up his grave his hearth was still beating and when they stabbed him he made some superhuman screaming noise, although i don’t believe this happened i wanted to show people this interesting story
book Dracula Romania castle Transylvania count heart Dracula
😊
“Even sparkling vampires can be included.”
Me: I understood that reference.
whats the refrecnce
nvm i got it its edward cullan lol
Sparkling vampires are mosquitoes dipped in glitter.
I wish I didn’t.
Kars reference or dio?

Currently reading Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and the lore in the book is fascinating. There’s even some vampire lore in that book that we don’t remember, such as a wild rose stalk preventing the vampire from leaving its coffin, they can only transform at noon dawn or dusk, can ride moon beams, and they can actually transform into any for they wish (bat is obvious, but also wolf, and mist)
Still a better love story than Twilight.
MURPHYCHACHO i hate twilight cause the movie got an award and HARRY POTTER DIDNT
why about Aphmau s research culinary and Nutella swan...
TaliTG 0 XD YES
MURPHYCHACHO ok?
MURPHYCHACHO fitting profile pic lol
[ dropped a pick for this in work Holmes ]
I really run it up right now!
Mosquitoes are vampires too. They fly around looking to suck blood and come out mostly at night.
+Nina Gatison Only former humans can become Vampires (im just nitpicking, nice joke)
Though, mosquitos are still the spawns of the devil himself.
lol thats true :))
Nina Gatison they are a mini version of blood sucking bat vampires but vampires stay up all night
You are definitely right. Only common vampire trait is feeding on one's life force, as long as something or someone's doing it they are vampires
Also Dave, not every vampire in mythology were humans before, actually most of them were not humans ever...
Him: Are you afraid of vampires?
Me: *why would I be afraid of Damon? 😂*
Exactly😂
right
Who?
Lady Grinning Soul he’s from the vampire diaries
@@day6atemywallet78
Thanks, nice person on internet. 😊🤝
I wish someone was there for me to say " mathematically another route has to be taken for most relaxation."
Right on!
I really like the videos that dive into folklore and mythology, they may not provide useful knowledge but it's interesting knowledge
Jonah Marx it is useful if you do an presentation on the history of vampires ;)
Ikr
He didn't say "Blah blah blah" at the end of each sentence.
HES NOT DRACULA SO NO
LOL
How common is the "Dracula" outfit in vampires? I doubt that Dracula isn't the only one who dresses like that.
Blah Blah Blah. Hahaha
ofcourse not! it should have been "bleigh"
" The wait list for my camp is around the corner, hold on please. "
right there right there..
I am a Filipino, including one of our mythical creatures (manananggal) here in the Philippines is such an honor to educate people internationally that our country is rich in culture. Thank you po.
Yeah, I find Filipinos to be really keen on seeking recognition. Even products made in the country are labelled "Proudly Philippine-made"
Yes, only that, manananggal isn't really a "vampire" but a different entity
Philippines are very well-known by those who look for scary folklore.
It's interesting no? But I hope I don't find a manananggal anytime soon!
I and really scared by your mannangalan but can you give me some information like how it was born or what was its back story in the replies please
Actually the mananangal don't feed off blood, but rather unborn babies. Yeah, charming.
Still has blood on it
Patricia Yvonne Andres Not only blood though.
Haha yeah
are you Filipino too? (cus I am)
and it also said that Vampires survive by the life force of others here
not just specificaly blood
but Blood is much common known for what Vampires want
The world chumped me yesterday
" *** I'm the foxy lady. *** "
I was blessed I was spoiled thank you.
Team dough because we can
"even sparkling vampire" HAHHAHAHAHAHA THE SHADE THO
those Manananggal from Philippine and Penanggalan ( well known as Penanggal) from Malaysia like really creep me out since i was child and until now.
Asian's 'vampire' are not something to mess 😖
try the mobile game: eyes the horror game. it is a penanggalan creature
Vampires aren't even creepy enough to describe them. They're literally monsters because based from stories, they eat people instead of drinking only the blood. *shivers*
And westerners think they're just myths..
Asian supernatural entities are not to be messed with trust me check out Philippine supernatural creatures there more horrifying than you can imagine
@GODZILLA EARTH!!!!!!!!!!!! that was tik tik Mananggal are killing men by taking their hearts, eating entrails and drinking their blood. To kill them is you to find the half of their body put a lot of salt or holy water and for the mananggal to be one

Fun fact : Vlad the Impaler the inspiration for Dracula , lived in Transilvania just for a short period of time and the stories about a cruel prince that many people know are just invented by his Hungarian political enemies at the time and he is even a national hero in Romania the country formed after the unification of Walahia (the country that he ruled) and Moldova
Sounds like vampire worship to me
Vlad the impaler wasn’t the inspiration for Dracula. Stoker’s main inspiration was Irish mythology. He simply heard the name Dracula and decided he liked it
Interesting fact: Vlad Nabijač, Dracula's Museum, lived in Transylvania for only a short time, and the stories of the tyrant prince, known to many at the time for his Hungarian political enemies, are also a civic hero. After the unification of the state (the country he ruled) and Moldova, a state was formed in Romania. Google translate
He was actually born in Transylvania, in the city of Sighișoara. I visited the town twice as of now abd ket ne tell you, there were many vlad-themed souvenirs and a museum in the building called Vlad Dracul House, where Vlad was supposed to have gotten out of his mother's oven.
As i romanian i know the back story of Vlad the impairer and he has on of the saddest life ever and its full of trauma from a young age hes a bit like Eren Yeager but with more trauma and lost loved ones
Oh and yeah a lot of genocide
Genocide of the ottoman armys
what kind of vampire would want windows in his castle?
so they can fly out of them as bats.
also, to appear normal
also, they could have been there before the vampire arrived.
cjwalkerist luke hello
Laura Wong hi
I asked my Dad this once about another vampire, he replied with something along the lines of "Well, if he blocked up his windows, or had them removed and replaced with just more walls, the local villagers would realise that the guy was a vampire because most humans wouldn't mind a bit of sunlight but vampires do. Then, they'd come in, outnumber him and kill him." My Dad's a pretty smart guy.
Also they need the fresh air. I guess.
Well Done

Vampir (vampire) is most famous serbian word. First ever recorded vampires were Arnaut Pavle and Petar Blagojevic, first half of XVIII century in modern-day Serbia.
It's a shame that they talk about Eastern Europe, and they included Albanian "vampire" but, they couldn't even mention Serbian vampire. As +Jovan Vidojevic said, there is rich "folklore" about vampires in Serbia. Shame on you TED-Ed
Yess 🙄👏👏👏👏
XD the russian accent I'm dying
Serb vampire
@@comradestar5584 whats the difference between a Serbian and Russian accent?
i think its mostly copying the romanian accent( its a combination of the russian and italian pronounciation), as Transilvania is in Romania
@@comment514 you are right!
uh its a transylvanian accent but its hard to tell the difference
I can annex from here thank you.
How the mighty have fallen: I'm not full enough for Ice Cream lets drive
Fun fact : vampire is originally a Serbian word
And he didn't mention that at all...🤷♀️
@@jelena1133 they mention the origin of the word in their other video about Dracula

No. Vampires who sparkle aren't vampires, they're fairies. Nothing wrong with fairies but come on.
He is refering to twilight
+Celine Xie Yeah, fairies.
+Anon Ymous fairies are not known for drinking blood. Get your head out of your ass and stp bandwagoning.
lol, now you're sounding like a fairy.

One last thought... So it's night time in 1599 or whenever they're digging some body up because the local witch doctor thinks a vampire attacked. They finally reach the body and the witch doctor points out the proof at which point the guy who dug the whole looks at the witch doctor and asks. "If he's here now, and he got out earlier. How did he re- bury himself? .... awkward glancing silence begin now.

Wait, why didn't they mention Vlad the dictator? The guy who drank blood IRL! The real life Dracula! No? No one remebers him?
You mean the one he mentioned at 5:12 ?
Vlad Dracula?
Ion T No I mean the real life dracula!
Draco the Dragon he also had a condition that made him BURN in sunlight (UV light)
blooming glam girl your awesome um noo just sensititve skin
Draco the Dragon your name though because lol the name Draco means Dragon 😅😂😂is it just a coincidence or you just did it and i keep thinking of DRACO MALFOY WHYYY
Acording to one Eastern European interpretation, vampires and werewolves were one and the same. When a corpse is disrespected or not given a proper burial, it reanimates as a werewolf(a demon), only having a humanoid vampire form if the person was a sinner, therefore gaining the devil's favor, but also the fear of anything holy or pure. I'm pretty sure that these were just motivations to bury everyone upon death.
A good size wave is coming this year.
TBH: This video is actually very cool and informative. I Especially love the animation.
Thank god, that means Edward's not a real vampire.
Edward is an alchemist.
+Anmar Safadi I see what you did there
Berlin Bowers :D
+N.I. McClusky
Sorry, but no. He still sustains himself on the life force of living creatures.
Dolphins Rule I know, I realized that a second after I said that. But on the other hand, he can count himself in the same category as mosquitoes, who everyone hates.

Vampires are cool, but the werewolves have the companions guild.
+BILLYBOB JOE But Vampires have the Volkihar Clan, who have their own castle and want to bring perpetual darkness to the world.
+Miguel Aveiro plus they're immortal
Aye, that they are.
+Miguel Aveiro Yeah but walking out into blurring sunlight after traveling is a pain in the rear. Even Serena has complained about it. And you can't trust other vampires. They'll turn on you, unlike your shield brother/sister.
Yeah, both of these things are annoying, especially the sunlight. When I progress far enough to get the bow that makes the world go dark, I'll get around that problem, but I like to see sunlight. I don't wanna be in the dark all the time.
