I do not think that its ok to mock ancient people for their beliefs qhen even now in the 21st century so many believe in gods, magic, astrology and other superstitions.

May I simply say that the goal of this question is not to mock any ancient peoples. It is more so to spread interesting information to the community. I'm sorry if my wording made it seem as though I meant to be rude. I do want to ask if you'd have said the same thing if i asked this question about people today?

Oh, it's hard to be that old fave, human sacrifice! If you ever have trouble understanding that correlation does not equal causation, think that killing some poor bastard doesn't ensure a good harvest, even if there's a good harvest after the poor sap is gone.

I was told by a person from the South that black people grew tails after dark. This is how they were raised. They were always nervous around me. So I day I asked why.

This may be little too specific, but Henry VIII wanting a male heir and blaming his wives as to why he was only having daughters. Now we know Henry was the determining factor of what sex was conceived. Only had one son, Edward, who did not live long
