Scandi representation! Thanks for sharing our lil dudes with the world ^_^
Fun fact: It was common superstition in Denmark ca. 1300s~ and on, that each house had a "husnisse". Who guarded and took care of the home if you took care of it. It would even move with you if you house!

Totes correct! The jagged cut makes it much much more difficult to line up the pieces if you were to attempt fraud.
It is an amazing example of the ingenuity at play before the advent of modern cryptography and verification tech.

Cut down the middle with decorations that would only match up to the other identical copy!
That way, you could have a deal between two parties where both of them could feel safe that fraud was difficult, since creating a fake that would match up perfectly, was nearly impossible!

#3! In contrast to what most people think. A Ghoul ISN'T a zombie-like monster, but rather a Djinn that shapeshifts.
Often taking the form of beautiful women to lure men to their death, they can't change their "hoof-feet as the ass"

Romero was most likely influenced by the literature of the time.
Perhaps H.P Lovecraft's 'Pickman's Model'. Wherein the eponymous model is an evil creature lurking in graveyards and eating corpses.
This is speculation.
Check Al-Rawi's "The Arabic Ghoul and its western transformstion" for more info

The Ghoul transformed most completely with its use in the script for Romero's 'Night of the Living Dead'. Wherein the now-zombies, were instead called Ghouls.
The cultural influence of the film and its follow-ups, I think, cemented the use of 'Ghoul' to mean "cadaver-eating monster".

Correct! Most english dictionaries, including OED, continue the idea of Ghouls having an affinity for cemetaries. An attribute not found in primary Arabic folklore.
Ghouls in modern thought often conjure images akin to zombies, leaning heavily on the flesh-eating, rather than their Djinn origin
