Re: Interesting Find on Crete
Fascinating (sp?) stuff. I'd like to know a little more about those ritual sacrifices and how they are connected to the infant burial sites.
Similar stuff that was found in Carthage gave many the idea that Carthaginians sacrificed children to their gods, an idea that most likely was little more then Roman propaganda.

This might be a little better suited to the monastery. Good stuff, thanks for the link.

"I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."
Senator Augustus Verginius
