Scientists came across an inscription on an ancient tomb that could reveal Count Dracula’s final resting place.
Surprisingly, the clues reveal that Prince Vlad Tepes of Wallachia, better known as Count Dracula, or Vlad the Impaler, may not have died in Romania, as previously thought.
According to a new attempt to decipher an ancient tomb epitaph, a team of researchers discovered that his resting place may have been in Naples, Italy.
The scientists came to this conclusion after deciphering part of the inscriptions on the tomb, which indicate that the burial site contains the remains of the “Impaler.”
According to this new theory, Count Dracula’s remains are located in the Cappella Turbolo, in Santa Maria La Nova, a now desecrated church built in Gothic style.
In addition to the indication about the “Impaler” remains, the tomb also contains other signs of his presence, including Latin inscriptions saying “Blad,” interpreted as “Vlad,” and “Balkan,” the region he ruled over.
