Because that, when they knew God,
they glorified Him not as God,
neither were thankful;
but became vain in their imaginations,
and their foolish heart was darkened.
Romans 1:21
"Archaeologists from Bournemouth University have uncovered an Iron Age victim of human sacrifice in Dorset, England.
The sacrificial victim was found lying at the bottom of a pit and placed on carefully arranged animal bones. A study of the skeletal remains indicate that she died during her late twenties from a stab wound to her neck.
Dr Martin Smith said: “The young woman was found lying face down on top of a strange, deliberately constructed crescent shaped arrangement of animal bones at the bottom of a pit, so it looks like she was killed as part of an offering,”
The isotopes in her teeth suggests that she originated from a settlement around twenty miles away.
A section of her spine exhibits significant degeneration and arthritic changes, suggesting she endured a physically demanding life that took a toll on her body."
