Fertility cults were just organized pagan sex romps. Pagans worship nature and sex is a “magical” part of that.

Same stuff goes on today, e.g., Epstein & Clinton.

Just like back then, the pagans of today hate monotheistic religious folks (only God is above man, not nature) because they preach to temper those impulses for the benefit of a civilized humanity.

Not too surprising I guess; an Assyrian cult brought in by the Mittani (from NW Assyria) when they took over from the Hittites?

...looters discovered it beneath a house in a Turkish village and decided to target its treasures. However, police foiled the looters, and investigating officials soon found an artificial opening the looters had cut through the floor of the two-story house in the village of Başbük, in southern Turkey.

Someone talked. If it's under my house, isn't it MINE? Shovel, strip, sell and shut up!
