Was human sacrifice practiced in Jerusalem? The film accompanies the prophet Jeremiah back to the Tophet in the Valley of Ben Hinnom and to the cultof Moloch that shocked Jerusalem in the late First Temple period. Over the years scholars and commentators have explored the question of whether the cult mentioned by Jeremiah involved actual child sacrifice or whether it was merely a symbolic ceremony. Recent archaeological excavations in the Phoenician colony in Carthage, North Africa, shed new light on the Biblical enigma and uncover the full brutality of the horrific cult.

What is Child Sacrifice?Child sacrifice is the ritualistic killing of children in order to please or appease a God, deity, supernatural beings, or sacred social order, tribal, group or national loyalties. As such, it is a
form of human sacrifice. Child sacrifice is thought to be an extreme extension of the idea that the more important the object of sacrifice, the more devout the person rendering it.
The practice of child sacrifice in Europe and the Near East appears to have ended as a part of the religious and philosophical transformations of late antiquity.
<br><br>The Torah contains a number of imprecations against and laws forbidding child sacrifice and human sacrifice in general. The Tanakh denounces human sacrifice as barbaric customs of Baal worshippers. Some scholars have stated that at least some Israelites and Judahites believed child sacrifice was a legitimate religious practice.

Where is Jerusalem?Jerusalem is a city in the Middle East. It is located on a plateau in the Judaean Mountains between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea. It is one of the oldest cities in the world, and is considered
holy to the three major Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Both Israel and the Palestinian Authority claim Jerusalem as their capital, as Israel maintains its primary governmental institutions there and the State of Palestine ultimately foresees it as its seat of power; however, neither claim is widely recognized internationally.
What is a Messenger?In religion, a prophet is an individual who is regarded as being in contact with a divine being and is said to speak on that entity's behalf. They claim to be serving as an intermediary with humanity
by delivering messages or teachings from the supernatural source to other people. The message that the prophet conveys is called a prophecy. In Islam, all prophetic messengers are prophets (such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad) though not all prophets are prophetic messengers. The primary distinction is that a prophet is required to demonstrate God's law through his actions, character, and behavior without necessarily calling people to follow him, while a prophetic messenger is required to pronounce God's law (i.e. revelation) and call his people to submit and follow him.
What is Sacrifice?Sacrifice is the offering of food, objects or the lives of animals to a higher purpose, in particular divine beings, as an act of propitiation or worship. While sacrifice often implies the ritual
killing of an animal, the term offering can be used for bloodless sacrifices of food or artifacts.
