Fresh analysis of Europe's earliest known battle has thrown up the possibility the 1,400 people who died at the site, in Germany's Tollense Valley, were not warriors engaged in a brutal melee, but ambushed merchants who were ruthlessly slain.
The identity of the assailants remains unknown but it is thought they surprised the entourage and killed their guards before looting and murdering them.
Human remains at the site in North East Germany, near today's border with Poland and 80 miles north of Berlin, were first found in 1996.

BLM? Antifa? Occupy? Democrats?.......................
Hmmm . . . I wonder if DNA analysis would find them to be Jewish merchants???? Did they discover a first Holocaust???? Would not surprise me
“Possibility.” “It is thought that...” “Is believed to be.”
Well. Another write-up that’s nothing more than conjecture. Anthropology strikes again.
News reports at the time said it was a “mostly peaceful” massacre.
White people
When we were Comanches
Nothing to see here !
All it was, was a hostile corporate takeover done in the Neolithic style.
AG Barr expects indictments any day.
Eaxctly !
Humans doing what humans do !

The first historical non-Biblical source of there being an Israel, the Merneptah Stele, has been dated to early 13th century BC.
1800 “merchants” traveling as a group? I’m not buying that story.
1230’s BC I don’t think there were many Jews then. They were still Israelites...............
Tattoo’d Teutonic women went topless in support their men warriors. Hmmm.
Sorry. Did not pay close enough attention to date. That would have been way prior to Diaspora, and working from memory, probably pretty early in the patriarch age.
It would make sense for merchants to form caravans for protection. Sizeable caravans crossed the Sahara and the Silk Road.
That’s a hell of a conclusion to jump to. What are the odds that almost 2,000 Israelites would be wandering around that part of Europe at that time?
Germany!
