Archaeologists Believe They Found Dracula’s Dungeon






The dungeon believed to have held Vlad the Impaler, the inspiration for the blood-thirsty character, was recently discovered in Turkey. Archeologists in Turkey have reportedly made a spooky discovery, just in time for the start of Halloween season: the dungeon where the real-life basis for Count Dracula was held. Researchers are reportedly restoring the ancient Tokat Castle, where the Ottomans imprisoned the infamously cruel figure, in the mid 1400s. Time; Oct.1 http://ti.me/1CHe8Az

In 1462, Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia is believed to have impaled the bodies of 20,000 people outside the Romanian city of Targoviste, to ward off Ottoman forces. This led to him receiving the nickname Vlad the Impaler, posthumously. Daily Mail, Sept 30. http://dailym.ai/1mUxm1P





To understand this news we will look at the chart of the last solar eclipse of April 29 at Tokat. The eclipse [9ta] is conjunct Hamal, alpha Aries, Schedar, alpha Cassiopeiae, Azha, eta Eridanus and gamma Cetus. Eridanus was an ancient celestial river. As a symbol, a river relates to the creative power of nature and time and everything transitory: the flux of the world and the irreversible passage of time.  Unlike earthly rivers, Eridanus is depicted flowing upstream symbolizing a return to the past. A reference to archaeological finds is, therefore, quite appropriate under stars of Eridanus.

The energy in these stars is for the most part harsh. Passion, urgency and a primal  quality characterizes people and events here. There is quick temper and egotism accompanied by impatience, lack of diplomacy, an inability to refine one’s attitudes and actions. The Ram, fixed-earth Taurus and Cetus combine to create an “aggressive fixity”. Diana Rosenberg lists “intolerance, violent expressions of hatred and premeditated crimes”  and “attempts to exterminate or annihilate unwanted peoples” under these stars. [1]

On the MC [16pi] is the star Achernar, a great first magnitude star marking the end of the river Eridanus. Aratus called Eridanus, “The River of Many Tears” and it has been linked to “massacres, acts of religious intolerance, history and paradigm altering people and events.” [2].

Progressing the eclipse chart to Oct.1  aligns the eclipse with the descendant triggering the issues mentioned above.
