The history of vampires appears to go back to ancient Persia. Old art depicts a man struggling with a blood-sucking beast so that may have begun the tale of what we now call vampirism.
In Babylon, there was a blood-sucker named Lilith who drank the blood of babies. In ancient Egypt, goddess Sekhmet dealt in blood lust and vampire-like behavior. The main character of the writing The Revenge of Ra, she was beckoned by the sun god, RA, to take revenge on mankind for conspiring against him. She devoured humans and drank their blood. She is sometimes called the Lady of Slaughter and the Mistress of Dread. She is usually shown in red.
Kali, the Hindu goddess associated with death and destruction sported fangs and a garland of corpses or skulls. She drank blood.
In Hindu mythology, vetala or baital were vampire-like, evil spirits that inhabiated corpses and haunted cemetaries. They were believed to have taken demonic possession of the dead.
