Message invoking Satan, likely over ‘spurned love and jealousy,’ unearthed on medieval ‘curse tablet’

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned?
Archaeologists learned the devil really is in the details after discovering a medieval “curse” tablet that appeared to invoke the lord of darkness against a pair of unlucky lovebirds.
The satanic “rock” verse was detailed in a memo released by the city of Rostock, Germany, where it was discovered.
“Was this about spurned love and jealousy, should someone be put out of the way?” the researchers inquired in a translated statement.
According to the release, the “inconspicuous piece of metal” was originally found under a latrine (aren’t all the best hate messages?) in the Northern City, leading researchers to believe that it was simply a construction scrap, Live Science reported.
However, upon unfurling this 15th-century artifact, they uncovered a cryptic message etched in Gothic, which read: “sathanas taleke belzebuk hinrik berith.”
