    Tophet of Carthage - Sanctuary of Tanit

    A sacred precinct dedicated to the Phoenician deities Tanit and Baal, containing over 20,000 burial urns. This haunting site spans 6,000 square meters and was used from Carthage's founding until its destruction in 146 BC. Oxford University research confirms this was a site of child sacrifice, though debate continues. The 'priest stele' found here is one of Phoenician archaeology's most significant discoveries.
