Slujitorii faraonilor ar fi fost uciși pentru a-i însoți în viața de apoi. Ce au descoperit cercetătorii pe craniile vechi de 5.000 de ani

A recent forensic analysis of ancient human remains near royal tombs in Egypt suggests that some servants may have been sacrificed to accompany their kings in the afterlife. Of the 46 skulls examined, 18 showed signs of fatal cranial trauma, indicating possible violent deaths. The remains date back around 5,000 years to Egypt's first dynasty, where burial practices included surrounding royal tombs with additional graves. While previous theories hinted at human sacrifice, this study provides clearer evidence of trauma consistent with deliberate killings. However, researchers caution that not all deaths can be attributed to sacrifice, as some may have died from natural causes or other undetectable methods. The findings highlight the complexities of ancient burial practices and the need for further research into the identities and roles of these individuals in society.
