Archaeologists excavating ritual pits in southwest Bulgaria have found the remains of two children that had been sacrificed about 2,700 years ago. The remains indicate that they had been crushed to death with stones.
The Bulgarian archaeologists are digging in a city that dates back nearly 8,000 years.
“The ancient Thracian child sacrifice found in one of the numerous ritual pits at the site of the prehistoric settlement near Mursalevo was committed about 2,700 years ago; it is dated to the 6th century BC,” reports Archaeology in Bulgaria.
Archaeologists excavating the prehistoric site are cleaning the children’s crushed skulls and have also found a shoulder bone from one of them.
