Archaeologists Discover Bronze Age Cannibalism Evidence in Somerset, 37 Victims Identified in Largest Massacre 4,000 Years Ago
Dec 16, 2024, 08:20 AM
Archaeologists in Somerset, England, have uncovered evidence of a Bronze Age massacre, revealing that at least 37 individuals—men, women, and children—were brutally butchered, dismembered, and likely cannibalized around 4,000 years ago. The findings indicate that the victims were part of the largest known massacre from Bronze Age Britain. This discovery highlights the violent nature of early human societies and the practice of cannibalism during that period. The skeletal remains show clear signs of butchery, suggesting that the bodies were not only killed but also consumed by their assailants.
