Massilia Carthago: Sacrifice Tablets of the Worship of Baal is a book written by James Middleton Macdonald. It is a comprehensive study of the worship of Baal in ancient Carthage and Massilia (modern-day Marseilles). The book focuses on the sacrificial tablets found in these regions, which provide valuable insight into the religious practices of the people who lived there.Macdonald explores the origins of the worship of Baal, tracing its roots back to the ancient Near East. He then delves into the specific practices of the Carthaginians and Massilians, examining the types of offerings made to Baal and the rituals that accompanied them.The book is richly illustrated with photographs of the tablets and other artifacts, as well as maps and diagrams to help readers better understand the geography and layout of the regions. It is a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the ancient world and the religions that shaped it.1897. The Massilia Sacrifice Tablet shows in its first two words that it was intended for use in the worship of Baal; and as we know that the Phoenicians came to Massilia from Carthage, centuries before the time of Christ, we think it quite in the eternal fitness of things that this Sacrifice Tablet should have been found in Marseilles (Massilia) in 1844; our only wonder is that the tablet remained undiscovered for 2300 or 2400 years.
