Thank you my friend, @quantumg for your kind words about my collage. If you like it, I am happy.😇

As you probably know, I am quite comfortable with history. It was once my chosen field of study, so finding these images and creating the blog was an enjoyable exercise for me.

The children.

Because they were not the only culture that practiced this kind of cruelty

When I think of the ways that children are sacrificed, even today. So maybe we don't strangle them, or bury them alive, but they are sacrificed for economic necessity. They starve, slow deaths, by the millions. Or the children who are worked to death. The children who are murdered as part of military campaigns.

Were these ancient people so different? No.

You mention euthanasia. How far is that from the eugenics movement, or even the vast numbers of elderly who are confined today against their will in so-called nursing homes.

We have to always be alert to how self-interest, or ideology, will give us permission to do what we believe may be unthinkable.

As always, a thoughtful response from you. I can imagine the interesting conversations you have with your wife.

A hug back my friend.
