A tower of human skulls unearthed beneath the heart of Mexico City has raised new questions about the culture of sacrifice in the Aztec Empire after crania of women and children surfaced among the hundreds embedded in the forbidding structure. Archaeologists have found more than 650 skulls caked in lime and thousands of fragments in the cylindrical edifice near the site of the Templo Mayor, one of the main temples in the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan, which later became Mexico City. The tower is believed to form part of the Huey Tzompantli, a massive array of skulls that struck fear into the Spanish conquistadores when they captured the city under Hernan Cortes, and mentioned the structure in contemporary accounts.

Who'd 'a thunkit?
Hey if it quieted the earthquake gods and took the wind from the hurricane gods.......why not.
Who ate the Anasazi?
It wasn’t Christopher Columbus.
Truth shatters the invention that the “Native Americans” were peaceful, benign, gentle souls before the Europeans corrupted them. They were not.
Wait, i hought Colombus and the explorers were the evil ones? You mean to say that the evil ones were the native savages? Wow! This changes everything that my kids have been taught in the greatest school system in the world. Go figure.
But, hey, it was that cracka YT Columbus that brought death and destruction to the noble red man Hiawatha who was one with nature just doing what comes naturally in his garden of Eden until the arrival of Christianity led to the mass slaughter of the people of color. Ya gots to get it right, bro.
There was a reason Cortez conquered a powerful empire many times the strength of the 600 or so soldiers he had . . . namely no shortage of locals who didn’t like the Azetecs and viewed those palefaces in funny clothes as a tool to even the score.
Ah yes. The ‘’happy children of the forest’’ bs.
MEXICO needs deliverance.
This a surprise to whom?
Many aboriginal cultures were brutal and bloodthirsty, many were not. FWIW, Columbus and those that followed brought European diseases that resulted in the death of up to 95% of the native populations.
Yes. Slavery, torture, and endless warfare were the norm. And, of course, the Leftist delusions have nothing to do with truth and reality.
Actually, the "deluded" leftists *do* want to bring back those days. They hate civilized society. It may be that the rank-and-file leftists really believe in the unicorn and skittles view of primitive societies that their leaders constantly talk about, but the leaders know the truth. They support brutal societies because they desperately want to be the ones in power, to do with other people anything they desire.
The main thing to realize is, the folks they call native weren’t native at all. They had come from elsewhere too.
In North America, there is a lot of evidence that says white boy was here first.
