Re: Europe may have had human sacrificies
There is a Russian legend (but perhaps written by the firsts monks that arrived on Kiev after 988-year of Baptism of Russia-) that tells how a christian varangian boy from Kiev was selected by some elders for being sacrificate to Perun, God of Thunders. His father resisted, and the guard burn their house. This fact is cited in a book by Elizabeth Warner: Mitología russa; ed. Barcanova, Barcelona 1986. Where really human sacrifices among the slavs at the time?
