@history.mae: I always wonder how these attendants must have felt after learning that they must sacrifice their life for their mistress. Did they truly believe in the ritual or was it forced? Puabi was buried with 52 attendants, of which three women were buried in the chamber with her. Leonard Woolley suspected that these people either poisoned themselves or had been poisoned by others. Recent evidence derived from CAT scans through the University of Pennsylvania Museum suggests that some of the sacrifices were likely violent and caused by blunt force trauma. Puabi’s seal does not place her in relation to any king or husband, possibly indicating that she ruled in her own right. . #history #archaeology #puabi #mesopotamia #sumerian #sumer #ur #akkad
“His”tory has not preserved women’s history well. I make videos about this all the time. 🥺 We were great rulers thousands of years ago. And nobody even knows because for the next 2000 years to come we were 2nd class citizens

I am not making the claim that all sacrifices were completely voluntary. Please read the description for more details.

In a place that had to trade for gold, imagine how she must have shimmered in the sunlight and looked like goddess

even for some of them to have volunteered is just an incredible thing to think about, how much she must have meant to them

I'd like to think that she served so well that her attendants couldn't bear to be apart from her, even in death 😩

I wonder if some were sacrificed because the new ruler feared disloyalty
