Ancient sess pit.
Cool!
Considering the Phoenicians’ and Carthaginians’ religious practice of infant human sacrifice maybe Planned Parenthood and the ACLU should file suit to protect the site as an international historic landmark. /s
Always an temple. I could have merely been a precursor of Epstein’s Island.
Civ, can not well you how much I, as hopefully many others, love your posts. They are fantastic and sure do look forward to seeing them. Thanks.
Cool find.

I’ve visited this place. It’s incredible. The museum on the island, which houses artifacts dug up there, blew my mind with its sheer volume of artifacts. I’m planning on heading back there in the late spring. It’s in Trapani, about a two hour drive from where I live.
