The character of the real Vlad Dracula, short-lived king of Walachia is so much more interesting than the vampire trope. Thank you for sharing this story

Following along I thought, oh, a bit of history not a video about genetics? This is an interesting departure - and then you branch out to discuss protein analysis and link those findings to current ntemporary observations. Bloody tears - This, about an actual historical figure who was notorious for shedding the blood of others. I can imagine how at the time his physical attributes made his reputation for savagery all the more sensational. Hero to his people or not, the image is terrifying.

Cool video - I like this direction too! I’d love to see more examples of modern day tech being used to learn more about historical figures/peoples.
