In the sixth episode of the "Secrets of the Slavs" series, Szymon Zdziebłowski talks with Dr. Łukasz Maurycy Stanaszek – a physical anthropologist and archaeologist from the State Archaeological Museum in Warsaw, a specialist in the burial rites of prehistoric and modern populations. The guest discusses the diseases that ancient Slavs suffered from. Spinal degeneration from hard physical labor was prevalent. He also reveals how long they lived and why they were shorter than modern people. All this based on their remains. Dr. Stanaszek discusses changes in funeral rites after the symbolic year 966 – from cremation to skeletal burials – and traces of migration based on bones. We will also discuss the topic of vampirism: the origins of burials that "protected" the dead from returning as ghosts. We will also look at sources on this topic from the Romantic period.
