Human Sacrifice - The Bloodthirsty Gods (2009) 1080p x264

Sacrifice, like death, is one of the great taboos of modern society. The notion that human sacrifice, and even cannibalism, could be considered a most holy act is almost inconceivable. But whether we like it or not, human sacrifice has been with us for more than 5,000 years and is one of the many characteristics that distinguish us from other animals.

Garrotted, throats slit, bludgeoned to death - preserved bodies that have been sacrificed to the gods are being discovered the world over. But were these people victims, or did they surrender themselves in a bid to woo supernatural powers? The documentary explores the dark history of human sacrifice.

Human sacrifice was practiced at least 5,000 years ago among the early agricultural societies of Europe, and the ancient civilisations of the Americas are also well known for their human sacrifices. This exploration delves into ancient practices, examining archaeological evidence and historical accounts. We investigate ritualistic killings, offering ceremonies, and the motives behind these gruesome acts.

Human Sacrifice examines this terrifying practice through the lenses of history, science, forensics, and psychology. How did ancient peoples regard human sacrifice? What were the principal reasons behind it? Was there a common vein leading to it that ran through each religion? Journey into this world to dissect ancient civilizations, religious beliefs, and shocking anthropological finds. Explore the chilling reality behind human sacrifices.
