Washington, July 3: An archaeological dig in northeastern Syria has pointed to a bizarre sacrificial ceremony, with the revelation of the remains of man, who may have been an acrobat at around 2300 B. C., along with remains of several rare horse-like animals.
According to a report by Discovery News, gory evidence of the entertainer’s death, along with the remains of several rare horse-like animals, which appear to have been sacrificed as well, was found in the remains of a building at a site called Tell Brak, which was once the ancient city of Nagar.
The findings suggest that some ancient cultures may have sacrificed well-known public figures, as well as animals of great personal and monetary worth.
