Die Überreste wurden in einer alten unterirdischen Zisterne (Wasserspeichergrube) gefunden.
Es wurden etwa 70–90 Säuglinge und sehr kleine Kinder identifiziert.
Etwa 70 % waren unter 2 Jahre alt, die meisten unter 5.
Ich weiß nicht, ob das irgendetwas mit Ritualen oder Menschenopfern zu tun hat, aber das kommt mir seltsam vor. Gibt es irgendwelche Gedanken oder Kommentare, die das Ganze verstehen könnten?

Baal worship
This isn’t normal in my book I know of a few ancient society’s have had similar finds but
nothing on this level it’s just weird considering all the recent claims.

Roughly half of all kids died before reaching maturity as a matter of course. That didn’t stop until modern medicine and sanitationmmessures began to be invented in the Industrial Revolution.
Before agriculture, the infant mortality rate would have been even _higher_, on par with the rate for other animals of a similar ecological niche and lifestyle (probably 60-80%), keeping the population in check just like everything else.
Religion? ? ?
Thats a pretty big matzo ball. Bdaoooow, bdowdow doodoo.
Let he who hasn’t thrown some babies in a pit throw the first petrified baby
Was this a killing of the first born sort of thing?
Ah, so that’s why they’re so good at it, plenty of practice!
Well well well…. stereotypes exist for a reason

Probably all the kids that were killed when king Herod ordered his men to kill all male children in Bethlehem and its surrounding areas who were two years old and under. This is in the bible
Archaeologists is daddy
Makes you wonder what is it between these young souls and the jeffery epstein types. What are they doing with young children, are they actually being eaten.
Is it 2,500 or 2,000-year-old? If it were a 2,000-year-old mass grave, it would explain the Massacre of the Holy Innocents recounted in the Gospel of Matthew since Tel Azekah is 15 miles from Bethlehem.
For those who don’t know the story, it goes like this. Herod, the King of Judea, fearing that the newborn child Jesus would overthrow him, decided to kill him. Except, he didn’t know who Jesus was nor how he looked like. Because of this, he ordered for every male toddler 2 years and younger hailing from Bethlehem and its vicinity, to be killed.
This is a complicated idea for modern observers and relates to when babies were considered „people“ and given the same burial customs as adults. Children were often unturned in clay jars under houses.
Most of the bones were for children under 2, so likely unweened. Mass grave makes it sound worse, the bones were placed here over time, not in some singular event. They were placed here more likely due to high levels of infant mortality rates during the vast majority of history. The bones were laid out and the remains show no signs of trauma, no signs of being passed through the fire as some have speculate.
