somerset, england - A recent archaeological discovery in Somerset, England, sheds light on a gruesome massacre dating back around 4000 years. The findings suggest a particularly violent attack, where around 37 people were slaughtered and eaten in a cave system in Charterhouse, a Roman town.

New research points to a barbaric massacre that took place in Somerset, England, approximately 4000 years ago. Archaeologists uncovered skeletal remains in a cave system in Charterhouse, revealing evidence of a violent attack where an estimated 37 individuals were brutally slaughtered and consumed. This discovery challenges the perception of the Bronze Age as a peaceful period, suggesting a darker history of conflict and brutality.

The victims, including a significant number of children, were found in a 15-meter deep pit within the cave system. According to experts, this level of violence was uncommon for the era, indicating a targeted and extreme act of aggression. The scale of the massacre implies the decimation of an entire community by a ruthless assailant or group.

The research team analyzed over 3000 bone fragments, providing insights into the social structure and dynamics of villages in ancient Britain. The absence of defensive weapons at the site suggests the victims were caught off guard, with no opportunity for self-defense. The cannibalistic behavior exhibited by the attackers, as evidenced by cut and scrape marks on the bones, indicates a deliberate and systematic dismemberment of the bodies for consumption.

Contrary to initial assumptions of hunger-induced cannibalism, the presence of animal remains alongside human bones indicates ample food resources were available at the time. The mutilation of the bodies, unprecedented for the Bronze Age, reflects a level of violence and brutality previously unseen in the archaeological record.
