Here a scene with Libyan captives, some in bondage,
in between them, being led by, bald men with elongated heads
On first impression looking like priests but also carrying bows

^ They appear to be priests because of their bald (clean-shaven) heads and their priestly garb. Why they are armed with bows is another question. Were they warrior priests who participated in combat, or are they going to use their bows to ritually kill the prisoners??
