The history of human sacrifices

There is no people whose culture at an early stage of development would not include human sacrifices. Accompanied by numerous servants preferred to go to the world of other Egyptian pharaohs, Sumerian kings and Chinese rulers. In Phenicia, in order to die the god of Baal, they sacrificed children from noble families. Sacrificial slaughterhouses arranged Scythians, Galla and Normans. In the ancient Kyiv, people were elected for the sacrifice of the cumiram. Incredible scales achieved human sacrifices from American Indians. In India, there was quite recently a custom of the burning of the widow on the tomb of her husband. Even the Greeks and the Romans, the progenitors of modern European civilization, gently brought victims to their gods, preferring, however, to kill either prisoners or criminals.
