The history of zombies
In one of our oldest texts known as the Epic of Gilgamesh [1] Ishtar Says - I will raise up the dead and They Will Eat The Living, and the Dead Will outnumber the living.
It is no one wants to hear from one of our oldest texts we found. The fact that they are already in the beginning of our story was told that the dead would rise and attack the living.
The word zombie comes from Haitian voodoo culture. It is a person controlled by another person. But it has no connection to our kind of zombie who was violent and ate people.
Death is our ultimate fear, and that the dead will rise again. We take care of our dead to prevent them to get out of their graves, coffins, sarcophagi and deep graves, all to prevent them from rising again.
In Ireland, two men were found buried with stones in their mouths, archaeologists believed it was because it would prevent them from eating the living, a way to prevent them from using their mouths as weapons.
The Chinese tradition of binding fixed their dead so that they can stay in their coffins, an error may cause the person pulls away and returns to life as a Jiang Shi.
In the Nordic region, we took out the dead with their feet first so that the dead would not be able to look back to his house. In Europe they still usually wears out the dead with their feet first.
Our funeral rites will prevent the dead from rising, we put our dead in coffins nail them shut and we put it several feet into the ground. Our fears that the dead will rise again remains even if we do not think about it.

1991 Jeffrey Dahmer in the US for his visitors that "he did not want them to go." Not only did he ate them because he wanted to have power over them, but he also tried to turn them into zombies. He drilled holes in their heads and poured acid down which he believed would make them into zombies.
Cannibalism practiced today in some deep parts of Papua New Guinea, one of their traditions is to eat the brain of relatives who died of the disease. In 1950 they were struck by a virus, kuru / shivers, a virus that makes holes in the brain, and thus got the person is disconnected from reality. It turned out that it was a parasite that was the basis for the virus, prion, which bore through the brain, and basically causes it to resemble Swiss cheese.
Most major cultures have a version of zombies, they are all different but have the same meaning and because, to them feeding on human flesh, and have come to the wrong rituals and ways of life.
Scandinavia: according to legend was the Scandinavian zombie a draugr. A dead Vikings who have risen again. It would know what it was and liked it. It would eat human flesh, and could only be stopped by being lured back into the grave of a hero. Draugr was history's most violent zombie.

What is a zombie?
Yes, what is a zombie? Well there is a creature who can not think, or control their actions. They will only be driven by their hunger for meat. If they only eat people or animals, one can not know, but one can guess that they will eat anything that is not dead.
Can zombies communicate, it becomes harder for us when they can form large swarms. If they can communicate, they can certainly think, and then it will be difficult because they also can learn and become smarter. If a zombie horde at 2-300 coming to your area and have a plan, you can ensure that you and everyone else will be eaten or infected.
When a zombie will already be dead maybe you can not even kill them. But according to all the zombie movies and literature, they die if you damage the brain or chop off their head.
To chop off your head can give two results, either dying body and head, or it dies only the body but the head continues to live. Is that the case must either split brain or chop off your head then smash his head to destroy the brain.
A zombie can not feel pain, you can beat, shoot and slash without them will know something. Therefore it is important to aim for the head as it seems to be the quickest way to kill a zombie.
There are many theories about how they will occur through biological weapons, or by a natural virus. Whatever starts the virus will certainly spread quickly as we live many in the same place and much public transport.
A zombie can not get tired, they will walk or lugging around in search of food. Although they do not have arms or legs, they will not give themselves to somehow move around to find food. There is also a danger to us because they can lie waiting for something they can eat go by.
