Why these Werewolf and Vampires are only found in Europian countries?
Being a werewolf is only a fiction , every one says that but still i wanna believe in these things because every thong even it is a fiction i believe it is true somewhere away from the eyes of human beings but they are real. Or , Greeks have a history fight and war and somewhere successful and this is all because fictions and fantasies , they believed in magic so they made stories to conquer their people, to control them as they wanted to. I find these fictions n fantasies so incredible i wanna believe them .i wanna make my life just like them and by thinking this somewhere i know ,wow, this was a way to control minds .How beautifully these fantasies have made me to think their thinking , or Greeks did these things to make their army strong . Now by seeing these movies i wanna be powerful and strong , they made their armies thinking strong .when they told them the stories those religious people believed that every single word and did hard work so much work to become strong enough to be able to fight those creatures .in this way ,they made their armies so bold and brave to get the whole world under their feet , i m not so good at history but all the movie I've watched n all the history I've read about Greeks made me think this ....Very easy and quick to transform Innocent people into afraid ones then into cruel ones worse than animals , that's how Greek armies won their battles and their stories are still alive , these stories are amusing us and somehow transforming many human beings into other species and its the devil side of these stories . 182.187.36.100 (talk) 19:25, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
Maybe because they are not? The vampire myth starts at least as far back as the Talmud with the legend of Lilith of the Hebrews, but it also reflects other such myths in other semitic peoples, long before the existence of central-European states. Werewolf-like legends abound from ancient east-Asia. You haven't done your research, anonymous IP. HammerFilmFan (talk) 02:05, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
Correct, the werewolf legend (and the idea of humans changing into other animals, such as birds or bears, or fantastic ones such as dragons) is by no means confined to Europe. This article does not address the possible ultimate origin of the werewolf legend, that the changes of puberty, when hair starts to sprout and darken in various places, make a child imagine he is turning into some kind of animal.

The Greeks won their battles due to superior military tactics and leadership. Later, the Romans were better at that than the Greeks, and defeated them. The early Mongol Empire was probably the best land-army before the invention of firearms. None of these armies were composed of ware-wufs. :-) HammerFilmFan (talk) 02:06, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
Just a note, the Mongol Empire was pushed out of the Middle East by the Mamluks, and the Croatians also beat the Mongol's to a pulp as well. Hardly the "best land-army". And as for "before the invention of firearms", firearms were around when the Mongols were. The Mongolian Empire crumbled in less than century and them having a great land-army certainly would've kept that from happening, if you take a look at somewhere like Rome.2601:49:1:5316:AC9D:BDFB:FF38:3497 (talk) 23:11, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
