Recently, the Epstein files were leaked, revealing that his bank account was named Baal.
Baal, a deity with a long history.
It was a belief of the Phoenicians, and Carthage was a follower of this.
Many Semites before the rise of Judaism worshipped this god.
Carthage indeed practiced child sacrifice.
The "Bibliotheca Historica" records one of the most detailed descriptions of child sacrifice. The gist is:
When the city faced a crisis, the Carthaginians would offer noble children to the god Baal Hammon.
The children were placed on the outstretched bronze arms of the statue and then slid into the fire.
It is also claimed that the number of sacrifices reached 200 children at one time.
However, archaeological discoveries in the Tophet sacrificial area, such as in the Tunis region (Carthage), have found a large number of urns, totaling up to 20,000.
The last image is a dedication stele.
It records a person named Hannibal making a sacrifice.
"Hannibal, son of Abdeshmun, dedicated to the goddess Tanit and the god Baal-Hammon."
The text above is in Phoenician script.
Of course, there is also controversy, claiming this is Roman slander.
