Genocidal Species
A new mass grave has recently been discovered in Serbia. Fortunately, if a mass grave can be called fortunate, it is not from our recent war history, but from human prehistory. The massacre occurred about 2,800 years ago, and the bodies of 77 individuals were buried at the Gomolava site near Hrtkovci in Vojvodina. More precisely, these remains were found 50 years ago and transferred to the Museum of Vojvodina in Novi Sad.
Genocidal Species A recent analysis of a 2,800-year-old mass grave in Serbia, containing 77 individuals, indicates a systematic massacre primarily targeting women and children, rather than a pandemic as previously thought. This discovery, potentially Europe’s largest prehistoric mass grave, highlights organized, regional extermination. The article draws parallels to other ancient violent deaths and widespread violence documented in ancient texts like the Iliad and the Bible, suggesting a long history of human brutality.
