Tophet is Moloch, which was made of brass; and they heated him from his lower parts; and his hands being stretched out, and made hot, they put the child between his hands, and it was burnt; when it vehemently cried out; but the priests beat a drum, that the father might not hear the voice of his son, and his heart might not be moved.

There stands in their midst a bronze statue of Kronos, its hands extended over a bronze brazier, the flames of which engulf the child. When the flames fall upon the body, the limbs contract and the open mouth seems almost to be laughing until the contracted body slips quietly into the brazier.

Sure goes back doesn’t it? Satan delighted in children’s death then, and how much more so now.

Thanks btw. I wasn’t as familiar with Moloch’s other names. I did some searches on them and found that in a single child cemetery (in Phoenicia) called the Tophet by archaeologists, an estimated 20,000 urns were deposited. That’s quite a few. And that was just one cemetery. In just one region.
