Exclusive: Ancient Mass Child Sacrifice May Be World's Largest
I don’t prescribe to postprocessional archeology, so the ascertation that simply because the bodies were buried in mud that the people were sacrificing children to the weather gods
((PP archeology is all about makin up stories to suit your facts... utter and complete fictions... an example would be if PP archeologists found a murder victim with an iPhone in their pocket in umpteen thousand years with no record of our civilization? Well, clearly these black composite rocks were religious talismans! Um. No. Or, more along the same lines, if the tens of thousands of impaled Irish children were thought to be ritual sacrifice, or tribute after a war, when instead it was Cromwell “pacifying” their parents -by rendering them dumb with grief, and terror stricken for their other children, or killed on the spot as they rushed soldiers by ones and twos instead of en mass- during an active war. We know about iPhones because we have them. We know what Cromwell did because he
wrote back to England exactly what he did & why -and have both those records and church records- so we have
actual freaking accounts, instead of “I bet, clearly, wouldn’t it be interesting if, blah blah blah. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE fiction, just not in my sciences, thanks.))
Anyhow,.. that bit of nonsense aside... heartbreaking story.
