Thanks to
the voodoo religion the existence of zombies gained credibility. Ironically
those aren’t really zombies, at least not the ones that eat people. Creating a
zombie, for a voodoo priest, is dispensing punishment for severe misbehavior in
the community he safeguards. The transgressor is given a poison that knocks
him/her out and dims the wits a little. While unconscious he or she is taken as
far away from the community as possible. Actually it’s a more compassionate
punishment than the electric chair. More like life in prison.
Zombies
have been around for a long time, not forever, but for a very long time. As
usual, the very origins are unknown, but if one constructs a timeline from the
evidence and references available to us, you will see that their presence is cyclical
or in waves. And if you build a similar timeline of catastrophic events, like
famines, plagues, wars and things like that, then compare that to the first
timeline, you’d have a matching pattern. Death, hunger and zombies seem to go
together.
It’s only
now that scientist’s are looking into the makeup of a zombie.
