Footnotes
“Tophet” is the Biblical word for the place in Jerusalem’s Valley of Ben Hinnom where ancient Israelites transgressed the rigid monotheism of their faith by sacrificing their children to pagan gods. Modern scholars use the word to name Phoenician cemeteries of sacrificed children that have been discovered in Sicily, Sardinia and Tunisia.
