Ancient Massacre Reveals Cannibalism

Archaeologists unearthed evidence of a brutal Bronze Age massacre in Somerset, England, involving at least 37 victims.

The victims were systematically butchered and likely cannibalized, representing the largest known Bronze Age violent event in England.

Experts suggest the act was a ritualistic revenge, aimed at dehumanizing the victims and sending a powerful message to others.

This gruesome discovery challenges previous notions of a peaceful early Bronze Age and provides insights into human behavior.
