Just a wild guess, but, Because they died?

[Jim W N]

The time between 6000 BC and 5000 BC is a mysterious time.

The Bible records 6000 BC as about the time of Adam and Eve.

5000 BC is about the time of Noah and the flood.

In between, the biblical record shows that the gene pool got corrupted and worldwide wickedness was rampant with no remedy other than complete annihilation.

FYI, the Bible also says the ends times in which we are living will be like the days of Noah.

Volcano prevention rituals?

Wait, there’s no non-binaries in there?

[Sirius Lee]

Because the ladies were too lively for the animapolis.

The men were perhaps involved in a losing conflict and died or taken into slavery elsewhere?

Decendants of Donald Trump running the place, obviously failed to value women’s health issues at the time.

Hey, we don’t know if they were buried alive.

[Bob434]

That’s true- but it doesn’t fit my lame attempt at humor, so we’ll discount that option lol

[SunkenCiv]

Probably harems, yeah. Polygamy is common among primates as well.

[bobbo666]

Heretic!!! Long settled science proves that no one can tell gender from a skeleton.

You are a sexist beast for even suggesting this.

Well, the writer used careful wording so as not to offend the leftists' sensibilities regarding fake sexes (bold-faced mine):

the use of new bioarchaeological methods has allowed the identification of chromosomal sex from the study of DNA

The Patriarchy, of course.

[I-ambush]

Simple answer: because they are dead.

[Red Badger]

Could be that a woman of high status, royalty, etc died and her retinue was killed so as to provide their services in the afterlife.................
