Warriors were sometimes given arms or other body parts of the prisoners they captured for sacrifice to take home and eat with the family. It's funny to think that I could tell my dad had a successful day at work when he brought home ribs for dinner, and so did Aztec children lol
Maybe they should have a look to sacrifice their elders instead. Since the elders are wiser, more experienced and also have little much time left to live. Could be a valuable sacrifice for their "Gods".
Haha, Aztecs weāre hydro farming while Europeans were torturing pagans, and dying of cholera cuz they couldnāt figure out that you shouldnāt shit in your drinking water.
I think people will draw a distinction between the relatively harmless modern religions and giving someone hallucinogenic mushrooms before cutting their hearts out.
Aztec child sacrifice was a control placed on both the upper and lower classes (there really wasn't a middle). It allowed the emperor to demand up-and-coming families of nobles sacrifice children important to their future, thereby limiting their future power. It controlled the lower classes through belief, they believed by way of religion that they could not start tilling the fields without a sacrifice to the gods...
I hear one time the aztecs had a bad drought and were like āok, we are sacrificing people every day till it rainsā and then they did. After it rained they said āok so I guess we now need to sacrifice that many people each yearā.
More food for everyone either way

Aztecs seeing these weird pale dudes on strange beast after sacrificing too few virgins
Yo, and they have these crazy fire sticks
And right after a comet appeared in the sky too smh.

And after the weird pale dudes were done, there wasnt much sacrificing anymore. The gods are not happy
