"Funeral Cannibalism: Ancient Magdalenian People's Shocking Rituals"

A new study suggests that stone age humans from the Magdalenian culture practiced cannibalism as part of their funeral rituals. The evidence comes from an analysis of bones found at archaeological sites across Europe. The Magdalenians were known for their elaborate artistic abilities and manufacturing skills, creating tools with intricate designs. The cannibalistic ritual was not driven by the need for survival but was a ceremonial activity associated with funerals. The study identified 13 sites across Europe where cannibalistic practices were observed, indicating that cannibalism was a shared behavior in the Stone Age. This discovery challenges our understanding of funeral rituals and the cultural significance of cannibalism among ancient societies.
