The women were weeping because the fertility goddess Ishtar (or Asherah) had condemned her lover, the shepherd-god Tammuz, to hell after herself being crucified and resurrected. This is a brief portrait of the Hebrew people before they had become entirely monotheistic.

Who was Tammuz?
A:Tammuz, also known as Dumuzi, was the shepherd-god and lover of the goddess Astarte or Inanna. Ezekiel 8:14 describes women in the Jerusalem Temple 'weeping for Tammuz'. We now know they were weeping because Inanna had condemned him to hell, after herself being crucified and resurrected. Origen says of Tammuz in his "Comments on Ezekiel" (Selecta in Ezechielem) that "they say that for a long time certain rites of initiation are conducted: first, that they weep for him, since he has died; second, that they rejoice for him because he has risen from the dead." Note that Origen could not have observed Jews worshipping Tammuz, since they did not worship Tammuz in the post-Exilic period. Tammuz was also the name of the tenth month of the Jewish calendar, and is still used as the Iraqi name for the month of July.

A syncretic belief system is one that blends traditions from different religions what is an example of this?
I believe you will be hard pressed to find any religion that has not been syncretised to some degree. Keeping it simple and obvious, what relation does colored eggs and bunny rabbits have with a Messiah or a resurrection? In Judaism, there are months named from purely pagan sources. For example, Tammuz is directly linked to sun worship cults of Babylon, and yet one of the months of the Jewish calender is Tammuz. I believe with some digging you'll find that no religion has been spared. However, do not confuse my words as an indictment against religion. Not all syncretism had evil intentions behind it.
