The research found evidence of the "incaprettamento" method of murder at 14 Neolithic sites in Europe.
The murder of sacrificial victims by "incaprettamento" — tying their neck to their legs bent behind their back, so that they effectively strangled themselves — seems to have been a tradition across much of Neolithic Europe, with a new study identifying more than a dozen such murders over more than 2,000 years.
The study comes after a reassessment of an ancient tomb that was discovered more than 20 years ago at Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux near Avignon, in southern France. The tomb mimics a silo, or pit where grain was stored, and it held the remains of three women who were buried there about 5,500 years ago...
To investigate the idea of human sacrifice at Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux, Crubézy, who worked on the initial discovery of the tomb, and colleagues examined earlier archaeological studies of tomb sites throughout Europe. The team included forensic pathologist Bertrand Ludes, of Paris Cité University and the study's lead author.
They found evidence of 20 probable cases of sacrificial murders using incaprettamento at 14 Neolithic (New Stone Age) sites dating to between 5400 and 3500 B.C. They also found papers describing Mesolithic (Middle Stone Age) rock art in the Addaura Cave in Sicily, made between 14000 and 11000 B.C., that seems to depict two human figures bound in the incaprettamento manner.

Some treacherous evil hell spawn deserve “incaprettamento”.
Looking at you Lizard Cheney. /spit
Hate it when your wimen cannot make a decent sammich.....
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, hm yeah, but I had to kill her
I had to put her six feet under
And I can still hear her complain
As opposed to the present... :^)
Interesting findings. Thanks, SunkenCiv.
The article writer seens to be more sensationalist than scientist, though. How can he call these killings, which he concludes with done regularly as part of a religious ceremony, “murder”? By whose standards are they murder? By his personal standards, apparently.
This is a failing of many moderns, the inability to view something objectively. One historian, Santayana?, put it as, the past is another country. They do things differently there.
Any evidence there were any neolithic men pretending to neolithic women?
That came about 1500 years later as a sorry episode.
👍😊
Can they tell whether the genetics of these cultures were hunter gatherer, farmer/hunter gatherer or or the later steppe herders?
Of course-because hogtying for slow self-strangulation is so primitive-my Christian Spanish ancestors preferred torture on the rack, burning at the stake, slow drowning/water torture, etc as being much more refined-they called it the Spanish Inquisition and even brought it to the New World to teach the Natives/Indians a thing or two...
LMAO! Now I have an earworm...
They also left the chieftain once impotent in the wild tied up to die from wolves or elements etc
So cry me a river
Brown people on the sub continent still burn wives with dead husbands
The Germanic tribes in this endeavor with limp noodle chief if beloved by his women the women would kill him humanely as a kind gesture
This was obviously prior to erectile dysfunction meds unfortunately
Agree-if the two murdered women were indeed slaves/servants, they were likely captives, and were executed/murdered to accompany and continue to serve the woman who died naturally in the afterlife. That was not an uncommon practice in ancient times.
That “episode” lasted a few centuries and got imported to the New World-where it replaced the Native methods of ritual execution that were just as gruesome. Those were cruel and bloody times-with the exception of some monasteries, convents and other such places all over the world, no group of people of any kind in any country was above using torture as a method of execution-that is just reality...
Oops-’convents”
“Yes, the rack and burning at the stake was preferred.”
I find it hard to believe the perpetrators of such horrible acts were anything but false converts.
Tough.
That is to say, it’s ontologically impossible to be a Christian and practice torture.
My desire is to provide material for others to reach a better understanding of the matter at hand.
