Zombie is a mystical archetic character of modern mass culture. The zombie is defined as a lively, fantastically, dead body or a zombed living man who has lost control of himself and his body or subordinate to anyone ' s orders. In a portable sense, the word may mean an obsessed person under the strong influence of any belief, exercise or destructive cult.
Arkhetip Evolution
The term " Zombi " is firmly linked to the voodoo, the magical practices of the inhabitants of the Caribbean (Haiti, Jamaica, Trinidad, Cuba). Corni Vudou goes to West Africa (Benin), where slaves came to Haiti.
The origin of the very notion of zombie remains unclear. It was found in Haiti through the slaves removed from the West African State of Dahomey ( modern Benin and Nigeria) at the beginning of the sixteenth century. The exact origin of the word is still unknown. In one version, it is a distorted “NZambi” that, in African languages, bantu means “petty divine” or “dead spirit”. The other is a modified West African dialect jambi, which means " ghost " . There is also a theory that the word " zombies " once called a huge black snake from African beliefs, an eternal enemy of the sun, light and joy.
Haitian Zombies
The name goes back to West African religious cults of voodoo, which cultivates the powerful sorcerers who can resurrect the dead and enslave them. The zombies of the Japanese mythology may have become the spirits of the human flesh that emerge from people who died from hunger. They're digging through dark night streets looking for their victims, practically lacking intellect, able to think only of food, and look like starters to decompose bodies.
