Given the evidence of human sacrifice found throughout the globe including women and children, it really is hard for me to wrap my mind around mankind's inhumanity to another human being. These people had the intelligence to build structures and pyramids that astonish us even today, but it seems they put very little value on human life.

Yepper Charles. Both Pizarro and Cortes were very successful conquistadors, but sometimes I wonder if the folks they conquered were the same ones that built the structures around Tenochtitlan and Machu Picchu? Looking at some of the stonework that was clearly done later, definitely shows far less craftsmanship.

Do you suppose the Aztecs were already on their downhill slide when Cortez arrived?

Supposedly his arrival was foretold in prophecy.

An Aztec will cruise about 235 mph at 75% throttle.

I do Mike. I think by looking at some of their stone masonry, it clearly shows that whoever laid the stone foundations possessed a much greater skill than the stonework that was done later.

When Cortez arrived in the Yucatan he burned his boats, thus his men's level of commitment to win was beyond ordinary..

Here's some examples of what I mean by the craftsmanship of the stonework....

Perhaps in their belief, sacrifice of what is most precious to please their God made sense to them. Their God probably knew a cut rate sacrifice or whatever.

It was not that long ago on our own shores that good Christians were burning "witches", our ancestors had the intelligence to sail across the Atlantic ocean yet resorted to burning women alive.

According to just about all American historians, American Puritans/Pilgrims, americans, etc. never burned anyone at the stake in north America. They did hang them though, and some burned them afterwards.

Many were burned at the stake in Europe though. Probably why they left and made the greatest country in the world. Mis-information is why History is very important.

A long time ago, human sacrifice was common. Look at all the mention of human sacrifice in the bible, from all the prohibitions to sacrificing to Baal to Abraham and Isaac. Even Jesus was seen as a human sacrifice too.

My and many of yours' ancestor, Tigernmas, was a High King of Ireland, who after ruling for 77 years sacrificed himself and 3/4 of the adult men of Ireland to Crom Cruach on November 1st Eve. This event became the start of Samhain, which is pronounced Soween. It was Christianized as Halloween. All US presidents but one and all European royalty are descendants of Tigernmas.

Do you have a link to where I can see information about the US presidents being dependents? I find this very interesting. Thanks
