Human skulls, oil lamps, and bronze daggers reveal possible necromancer’s portal to the underworld

In the depths of Te’omim Cave in Jerusalem, a significant archaeological discovery has shed light on ancient ritual practices associated with magic.

Researchers have uncovered evidence pointing to dark ceremonies where necromancers possibly sought to summon the spirits of the deceased, as indicated by the presence of human skulls and daggers.

The findings, detailed in a study published by Cambridge University Press in the Harvard Theological Review, resulted from over a decade of research conducted by the Israel Antiquities Authority and Bar-Ilan University.

The study focuses on 120 oil lamps discovered within the Judaean hills, dating back to the late Roman to early Byzantine period, specifically the late second to fourth centuries CE.

The researchers noted that all of these lamps were deliberately placed in narrow and deep crevices within the main chamber walls or beneath the rubble, the Business Insider has reported.
