ERROR Roman burials also reported by other wiki page

[edit]

This page states that vampire burials began in the middle ages, another page states: The roman remedies to reduce the spleen in Pedanius Dioscorides's De Materia Medica have been suggested to have been a response to chronic malaria in the Roman empire.[29] Some so-called "vampire burials" in late antiquity may have been performed in response to malaria epidemics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lifeinthetrees (talkcontribs) 02:13, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind found it: History of malaria. Next time please provide the link. to whatevr wikipedia text you are referring to. Otherwise every wikipedian has to google for it before commenting. Staszek Lem (talk) 21:36, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have read it. The term "vampire burial" was in quotes for a reason: there were not really vampire burials. There are plenty of other superstitions to perform special rituals during the burial so that the buried would not arise from the dead. Staszek Lem (talk) 21:41, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Article fixed accordingly. Staszek Lem (talk) 21:55, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
