A recently deciphered inscription in a tomb in Naples suggests a connection to Vlad III, known as Vlad the Impaler, a figure who inspired Dracula. This site, located in the Turbolo Chapel, may house his remains. The tomb features imagery tied to the Order of the Dragon, of which Vlad was a part. Additionally, sphinx-like statues may reference both Thebes and a Romanian title for Vlad. Researchers theorize that Vlad's daughter smuggled his remains to Naples, where he might have been buried in this chapel, a site rich in history.
Researchers have deciphered a mysterious Latin-like inscription revealing 'Blad' and 'Balkan,' suggesting a connection to Vlad III, the historical figure behind Dracula.
