Massilia Carthago: Sacrifice Tablets of the Worship of Baal is a historical and archaeological book written by James Middleton Macdonald. The book primarily focuses on the worship of Baal, an ancient deity worshipped by the Phoenicians and Carthaginians. The author provides a detailed account of the Baal cult and its practices, including the use of sacrifice tablets, which were inscribed with prayers and offerings to the deity. The book also examines the relationship between the cities of Massilia (modern-day Marseille) and Carthage, and how their shared religious practices influenced each other. Macdonald draws on archaeological evidence, including excavations of ancient temples and inscriptions found on the sacrifice tablets, to paint a vivid picture of the Baal cult and the role it played in the lives of the people who worshipped him. Overall, Massilia Carthago: Sacrifice Tablets of the Worship of Baal is an informative and engaging read for anyone interested in ancient history, archaeology, or religious studies. The book provides a unique insight into the beliefs and practices of an ancient culture and sheds light on the ways in which religion shaped the lives of people in the ancient world.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.
