Default Re: Europe may have had human sacrificies

I see nothing concluant in this article, mere interpretation rather.

Celts had sacrifices -POWS, criminals (Lindow man seems to have been a high rank guy, though) . I've heard of sacrificial shows such as the wicker mannequin.

.


They are also said to have built funeral monuments where they exposed bones of killed warriors (Ribemont-sur-Ancre, France). See image below (try of reconstruction).





Very interesting people.
