I noticed a in photo of an ancient Sumeria wall drawing carved in stone what looks like victims of a war or battle that are impaled. On the website:http://mars-earth.com/ancient/british_museum/assyrian/image39.html. there is a photo that is copyrited that shows the impaled war victims in the upper left hand corner. I am not sure if anyone has ever noticed the impaled victims in the artifact.

The wall drawing might be only partial. The complete drawing might show more of the scene above. I am not able to find a site with the complete wall drawing.

So it looks like war was fierce in early history around 3,000 b.c.- 5,000 years ago.

This picture looks like the warriors are doing a victory march carring the heads of their victims:http://mars-earth.com/ancient/british_museum/assyrian/image52.html

What kind of animal is in this picture:http://mars-earth.com/ancient/british_museum/assyrian/image32.html

If this is the image you are talking about Click for Image Then there does appear to be some impailed people, but i wouldn't have though it was that uncommon in those times....



As i said above i could bery well be.....



I would say this was Click for image something like a small type of cat a Persian Lynx maybe....

they were impailed..it was done to intimidate (but perhaps was counter productive?)

more interesting is the siege engine with wheels and shields?
