I do not think this was quite what it should look like.

What's the problem? The splices were done in j-boxes.

Any idea as to why these splices were there in the first place? It's not common to have so many splices in an attic.

It's not common to have splices in the attic? Depending on the age of the home and accessibility and available breaker space in the panel, I often see LOTS of splices in attics.

Have I seen THIS many? Admittedly, no.

It could be worse... they could all be tied in a giant knot.

I'm with you Allen, zip ties would have been cheaper.
