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.

No I’m one of those people who take scripture at its word. Both Jeremiah and Ezekiel condemn Israel for child sacrifice and note it is one the sins for which God is visiting his wrath in the form of the Babylonians. This condemnation extends to “The children of Israel....their kings, their officials, their priests and the prophets, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Judah.” (Jer 32.30-35) Sounds pretty all-encompassing. This is exactly what God said he would do (in Deuteronomy) if they did engage in child sacrifice. It’s all right there in the Tanakh.

The Ild Testament is the story of overcoming the baby murderers.

The same dynamic is the story of mankind and is happening to this day.

Yep, at least the ancients were more upfront about it.

Such degenerates that would slice open the chests of living kids and llamas and rip out their hearts. I hope the kids were drugged at least. And the descendants of these murderous pieces of excrement are sneaking over our borders every day, illiterate and without any higher level skills.

How racist. Whatever two consenting adults decide to do with their own kids is strictly between them and a high priest or social worker.

There was the story of Avraham and Yitzhak going through all the motions of sacrifice, and then stopping at the last second when an angel sent by G-d called it off. But Yitzhak, the sages of the Talmud tell us, calculating from the death of Sarah at age 127, was 37 years old at the time. She died when she was informed of the true nature of that “father-n-son hunting trip”.

Murder for profit and power is a very old story.

With all due respect, I think you missed the whole point I was making. I never hinted anything about him being equivalent to God in terms or immortality, or divinity, etc. My point was he’s evil. Maybe as bad as God is good. But I agree with you on what you said. Thanks.

So the so-called indigenous people that our children are forced to celebrate in schools were basically just Nazis

God stood by and watched human beings make a choice. God gave His only Son, and watched Him die on a cross.

Hasn’t He done enough?

The innocent have forever be the victims of the evil, until that score is finally settled.

You think we care about kids in the US? If we did, why would the entire public school apparatus encourage them to enter a lifetime of debt in exchange for a college education of dubious value, and almost assured political re-education.

That’s the thing about the US: here we actually buy the things that enslave us, we volunteer to buy them. That’s why I bristle at any description of the enemy that includes the word ‘stupid’.

In any given week? Obviously, since they perform five times that many abortions every single day of the week!
