Exclusive: Ancient Mass Child Sacrifice May Be World's Largest
National Geographic ^ | 4/26/18 | Kristin Romey

Posted on 04/26/2018 7:33:23 AM PDT by jalisco555

Evidence for the largest single incident of mass child sacrifice in the Americas— and likely in world history—has been discovered on Peru's northern coast, archaeologists tell National Geographic.

More than 140 children and 200 young llamas appear to have been ritually sacrificed in an event that took place some 550 years ago on a wind-swept bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, in the shadow of what was then the sprawling capital of the Chimú Empire.

Scientific investigations by the international, interdisciplinary team, led by Gabriel Prieto of the Universidad Nacional de Trujillo and John Verano of Tulane University, are ongoing. The work is supported by grants from the National Geographic Society.

While incidents of human sacrifice among the Aztec, Maya, and Inca have been recorded in colonial-era Spanish chronicles and documented in modern scientific excavations, the discovery of a large-scale child sacrifice event in the little-known pre-Columbian Chimú civilization is unprecedented in the Americas—if not in the entire world.

That many babies are slaughtered by planned parenthood in any given week.

Llamas, on the other hand, I think are just sex toys for comey.

Of course, this may be surpassed by the Podesta Group, once we get all their data.

Likely a vanity ritual for a new ruler. The size is anomalous

About the year 1468 AD/CE. Before Columbus arrived in the West Indies.

Leftists try to tell us that Christianity was not necessarily a good thing for the natives in the Americas - but it stopped sacrificial offerings of people on their altars of false gods.

Disgusting. 550 years, in the grand scheme of things, is not that long ago. Humans are a bizarre species sometimes.

Maybe placating the gods so the Incas wouldn’t conquer them.

Children being sacrificed. Hard to explain and answer the question......”Where was God?” Unless of course one has a deep and profound understanding of the Great Controversy between Good and Evil that started in the councils of Heaven long ago. The only answers are in scripture.

Very very sad and also evil. How evil is Satan? Probably as infinitely evil as infinitely good God is. His time is almost up though. He knows he has a short time.

Nope, not the world’s largest. “Planned Parenthood” sacrifices this many and more every day. Well, minus the llamas. That would be pet brutality, and would be actual prosecuted (as opposed to a mother soliciting for the murder of her own child, which is NOT prosecuted in this country or most of the Western world).

No. Satan is not equivalent to God. Satan is only a created being. A powerful one, but a created being nonetheless. Nothing infinite about him, including his lifespan (he had a beginning, God didn't).

There is a section of verses in Isaiah, I believe in Chapter 14 and the verses are 12-17, be before the enemy’s fall.

This is incorrect.

The Largest Mass Child Sacrifice began in the United States in 1972.
