In this blog you have learned a lot about greek sacrifices. I will sum up what I have written in this blog. Sacrifices were performed in temples called sanctuaries. During sacrifices the people performing them would use water, barley, seeds, a sword called a Machiara, and an altar. They would pour water on the animals head so it would "nod" and they would throw barley seeds at the people so they would all participate. After the sacrifice was over they would roast the animal and give the fat and the entrails to the gods and they would eat the rest. My research is important because I think this a unique topic and that although its kind of dark people should still know about it. Sacrifices connect to our world today because sacrifices were like prayers and I think that they influenced praying today.
