ARCHAEOLOGY: Carthage Child Sacrifice

They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons;
they poured out innocent blood,
the blood of their sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
and the land was polluted with blood.
Psalm 106:37,38 ESV
Carthage, in modern day Tunisia, at one time boasted a population on 750,000. It was originally founded by
Queen Dido (Elissa) who fled from Tyre in Phoenicia (modern Lebanon).
So in other words, basically from the Canaan area.
It is known that the Canaanites engaged in child sacrifice. And now it has been confirmed that the vile act was also carried out in Carthage-which was founded by these peoples.
Some have thought that the Greeks & Romans accused Carthage of such acts was propaganda. But now it has been shown to be true. Thousands of funeral urns containing infants, most around 2 months of age, have been discovered in the Tophet precinct of Carthage. This was sacred land of the goddess Tanit.
"But when you pull together all the evidence – archaeological, epigraphic and literary – it is overwhelming and, we believe, conclusive: they did kill their children, and on the evidence of the inscriptions, not just as an offering for future favours but fulfilling a promise that had already been made."
