Cave in Moravia

One of Czech's largest caves (around 13km) is situated in Moravia northeast of Brno. The archaeologists found traces of human occuppation from the Palaeolothic to the Iron Age and a bronze bull figurine (the name Býčí skála means bull cave in english). In the late 19th century they found remains of 40 skeletons mostly without heads, hands and feet. Archaeologist have some theories about this situation. One is, that the individuals (mostly women) were sacrificed by shamans for the gods of metal in the Hallstatt period.
