"But these at least, Socrates, are not difficult to know, that we do not always use the same laws, but different. Since, for example, to us it is not the law to sacrifice humans, but impious, but Carthaginians on the other hand do sacrifice them as being holy for them and not unlawful, and some do this even to their own sons for Kronos, as perhaps you also have heard. - Plato's (who had no incentive of inciting a war with Carthage) Minos 315c.

apparently a lot of other cultures practiced something similar, one was even found under a church

I love how they felt the need to say that.

I've read about similar practices in Austronesia and Indochina (here http://alwestmeditates.blogspot.ie/2012/10/human-sacrifice.html, which is very relevant to the thread), which makes me think this originated in China and spread with populations originating there.

Child sacrifice is a disturbingly recurring theme in ancient Near East religions. There is a not-unreasonable theory that Abraham actually did sacrifice Isaac, and that the story as we received it today has been edited as "HAHA IT WAS JUST A PRANK" as Hebrew culture evolved.

Most of the time it was reserved for criminals desu. More important people might have their servants sacrificed with them but with criminals you got the two-fer of capital punishment and divine appeasement.

So many logistical questions

Like how the fuck did they fill those things up.

Would they build each limb and the torso as separate cages, fill those cages with people, and then assemble like some kind of capital punishment voltron.

Or would they just keep shovin.

It's pretty much confirmed that the earliest versions of the story have Abraham killing Isaac, mate. All the clues remain even in the modern renditions of the Bible.

There's a Hungarian ballad from the middle ages, which is about builders who are constantly failing to build a proper castle, so they agree that they'll burn one of their wives (the first one who arrives to visit) and mix her remains into the walls so they will be strong.
It is said that building sacrifices were fairly common in pre-christian Balkan and Middle Asian places, this legend is a distant echo of them.
