@tigersharkLSU @BenZeisloft Riiiight, b/c it's not like Roman historians had any biases that might have skewed the written record... Do you ever bother to read? https://t.co/WnFtYaKs6E https://t.co/T7i3O2vJGG https://t.co/VstgjrurYp
@RoadLife2022 @UpdatingOnRome Besides, most of the characterization of Phoenician religion is just Roman/Greek and later Judeo-Christian propaganda. Study of the burial urns in tophets shows remains of stillborn babies. https://t.co/AG78AktaRv The main god
@MichaelACT123 @thesidonian @ByzRomanLevant Most of the sample fell within the period prenatal to 5-to-6 postnatal months, with a significant presence of prenates. Rather than indicating sacrifice as the agent of death, this age distribution is consistent

So, you know how the Q cultists hold that weird belief that all their political enemies routinely murder children? There were Romans and Greeks claiming that about Carthage back in the day. Archaeological evidence says otherwise. https://t.co/oKULCTO0pr
@EsotericCD I'm not so sure on that. This paper makes a pretty convincing argument that the Carthaginians were just practicing cremation, and that high infant mortality explains the disproportionate amount of child skeletons https://t.co/ckDKUOqifY
Carthaginians, man. They have a bad rep. BUT! #2021MMM https://t.co/u1nQUmtpD2 https://t.co/ykIt52w5Bx
@jakecole0171 @RandalRauser Whether or not Canaanites practiced child sacrifice is debatable. Archaeological evidence from Carthage is often connected with sacrifice, but it's not quite conclusive. The "sinfulness" of the Canaanites may have been - at leas

@Nympho_Wars My wife is Lebanese, a direct descendant of her Phoenico-Canaanite forebears, & I can assure you that they practiced neither child sacrifice or paedophilia. The former charge was intended to wrongfully vilify them, the latter is modern pro
@Reformed_Boi Did a bit more checking. It seems that the remains at the Tophet are typical for normal distributions of perinatal mortality (including still births) and are not indicative of child sacrifice. https://t.co/X1yuRki8wU

@ladygolem @Hestmord https://t.co/QCBl3e7pe7 from here Now Smith et al. (2011) argued that Schwartz didn't account for tooth shrinkage in cremation and to them that implies that there was in fact live sacrifice, though Schwartz denies this and says they d
