Don't open that so fast

Well, when archaeological historians say that they might have found the tomb of Vlad the Impaler, otherwise known as DRACULA, I take notice.

Is this Dracula's final resting place? 16th century headstone unearthed in Naples could belong to Vlad the Impaler

The end of the article:

"Medieval history scholar Raffaello Glinni said that the 16th century tomb is covered in images and symbols of the House of the Transylvanian 'Carpathians', not in keeping with the tomb of an Italian nobleman.

‘When you look at the bas-relief sculptures the symbolism is obvious’, he told Neapolitan newspaper Il Mattino. 

'The dragon means Dracula and the two opposing sphinxes represent the city of Thebes also called Tepes. In these symbols, Dracula Tepes, the very name of the count is written,’ he said. 

The researchers have now applied for official permission to investigate the grave"

So, if they are going to consider actually OPENING the tomb as part of that investigation, I hope they have garlic, crosses, and holy water handy, and that they do it in daylight.

Just in case.  

But seriously, it's kind of amazing to me that they just now discovered that Vlad might be buried in Naples. It's somewhat amazing in general that archaeologists and historians keep figuring out where historical figures might be buried, as occurred recently for Richard III of England, who was under a parking lot.
