one possible origin of the word can be found as a conglomerate of the two words Canaanite, and thier worship of the god Baal. Indeed the ancient Greeks made relation to these accounts as well as child sacrifice. Relating it to the worship of the Phoenecian god Chronus (Saturn) that ate his children, except Zeus, who avenged and released his siblings and desroyed the Cannibal god. Many of the Canaanite and surrounding cultures attest to this, even in our Old Testament Bible there are Laws given to Moses that contain child sacrifice. An extreme drought in the Mesopotamian and Egyptian area in around 1200BC may have spurned a much wider outbreak of this practice. Egyptian ancient literature contains quite a few references to the practic, even in the Book of the Dead and in tomb inscriptions. Another version of the origin of the word is said to be accredited to Christopher Columbus and in finding that many of the indiginous Carrib tribes practiced this detestable act, and if the word was spelled Carribalism it would make sense, but the word was used before the time of Colombus, as a north African document from the 1300sAD missionaries records that," the barbaric practice of Cannibalism is rampant in the tribal people and worse in the Pygmies that they had encountered."
