Ancient skeletons discovered in France suggest evidence of ritualistic murders

In 1985, researchers examined the remains of three female skeletons and concluded that two of them likely met their deaths through a form of torture known as "incaprettamento." This practice, which may have been prevalent during the Neolithic or late Stone Age in Europe, involves immobilizing an individual's limbs and compressing their body to restrict blood flow. A separate discovery was made by archaeologists in France, where they found the remains of two women in a tomb. The positioning of their bodies suggests that they may have been ritually murdered by asphyxia or self-strangulation.
