A rare documentary insight into how tribal superstition, ritual and ignorance evolved into worship.
An elder of a primitive Stone-Age Amazon tribe performs a sacrificial ritual rooted in tradition. A child is unwanted and is burried alive.
“He must die! For the good of the tribe!”
Could this type of superstition help explain the origin the Judeo-Christian crucifixion/scapegoating myth?Is this ritual, in part, the basis of modern religions?
