what fascinates me most is your desperation to have the public believe pure lies. are you run by the CIA? hacks.

The impaling

[@halatameckarov6532]

it fascinates the arrogance of nat. geographic to spread lies about Vlad Tepes and even tried to label him as fascist through the narration of an angry confused antifascist liberal, not even mentioning the evil of the ottoman turks who tried to conquer Europe in the most brutal way.

Even the muslims who invaded that part of the world had him in their history book of how he massacred them just by himself and also killed their leader. The legend was real.

[@Kim-bp1kb]

Anyone notice that they spent the majority of their "castle" film in one little stairway/hallway? That's because it's literally the only hallway in the entire castle that looks creepy. They have to sensationalize it and go with the dracula theme. The actual castle/city/grounds are absolutely beautiful. Well furnished and basically just a normal castle.

Not to say Vlad III didn't have a fierce reputation for ruthlessness, I can't help but feel like some of this is a bit exaggerated for the show. For example, "Drăculea" means "Son of the Dragon" and not of the Devil. Vlad II was a member of the chivalric Order of the Dragon, which is how he earned his nickname, "Dracul".

Nor sure why the National Geo Channel saw fit to give incorrect facts. Bran Castle is NOT anything to do wth Vlad Tepes for a start. He probably only visited there less than a handful of times during his life and The real Castle Dracula is high atop a mountain range near the River Arges and is called Peonari Fortress. Also his name Dracula meant son of Dracul the A sound meaning Son of. It was his father who was ordained into the order of the Dragon to pitt himself against the evil tyranny of the Turks and the Scandanavian/german Lords who also wanted riches beyond greed. Dracula actually means Son Of The Dragon, NOT Son of the Devil. Wish these tv companies would stick to facts and stop trying to link him to the fictional evil written about in Bram Stokers Victorian Novel. Yes Bram did use Vlads history as a family blood line for his vampire but thats all. So this 4 minutes clip from a company thats supposed to know what they re doing when researching these historical facts really goes to show they were only interested in talking about Vlad in a sensationalised way.

Bran Castle has absolutely nothing to do with Vlad Dracula. The only connection he has to it is through his Grandfather Mircea The Old who had it constructed. The Hungarians seized it as their property before Dracula was even born. Once again NatGeo demonstrates how they’re fully willing to twist facts/truth in order to get ratings. And the “curse of Dracula” has nothing to do with his death. It was a promise he made to his enemies when he lost the throne the second time and was stabbed in the back by his allies. He fulfilled his promise when he struck a deal with Corvinus, and got the throne back. Thence, the “curse” is completely a moot point. Also, it wasn’t Bran Castle he was held prisoner in, in fact, there’s absolutely no evidence he ever set foot in it. Tour guides just tell Tourists and Hollywood producers wanting to sell a narrative what they want to hear. Poorly done, NatGeo. 😞

Vlad the chad

[@silvernight7667]

Some Romanians see him as a hero like my family

[@Emanuel-E]

Pretty much all Romanians see him as a hero.

[@NeonCicada]

@@Emanuel-E That's because he was a hero...in his own way.

[@unitedcolorsofmydick]

If you Romanians take him as a hero... It means you really lack heroes. Ceauşescu youth. Not surprised

[@banandababa]

I don’t get it, can you explain why you see him as a hero?

[@Emanuel-E]

@@banandababa It's very simple, he defended our country from barbaric invaders, including the Ottomans, Hungarians, Saxons, Tartars etc.

[@jaghatai_bulut]

Lol, Vlads story is an interesting one but its grossly overrated. Vlad decided that it was a good idea to rebel against the Ottomans. Who did not interfere much with Wallachias inner politics. Empires tend to leave theor vassals alone as long as they aid in wars and pay their taxes. Vlad being the genius he is then started impaling people and burning down villiages like a maniac. When Mehmed finally got enough of his bs he sent an army to end him. His body was never found but he is assumed to have died fighting, so he was probably too disfigured to be regocnised. Also Dracula does not mean the son of the devil. it comes from the word Dracul which was the name of the ruling House of Wallachia. its simply a sirname

[@brb4903]

Dracul means "the devil" in Romanian (coming from the Order of the Dragon). Draculea (which is how Vlad was called) is like a diminutive of Dracul in the meaning that he is his son.

Estaba viendo el especial de halloween de bully magnets de hace 6 años sobre Vlad ! Y sopresivamente NatGeo sube justamente esto ayer D: que mieda ! D:

[@apputaiparambil]

He was ruthless but he united romania and demolished civil wars. He did what needs to be done, Maybe there was another choice but that might not be as efficient as what he did. It was ugly but it was effective.

[@johandewitt9911]

Vlad the hero of Rumania!
