European imported disease deaths were mostly from smallpox and measles. But that wasn’t a one way street. The locals had diseases to which they were tolerant that the Europeans had never seen. Most notably ‘the great pox’ more familiar to us today under the name of some bad ilalian poetry, syphylis. Europeans didn’t have immunity to it, but were protected to the degree they lived up to their own cultural moral standards.
“The Mayans were not quite as blood thirsty but they too practiced human sacrifice.”
Sheesh ! Never thought of that as a good point-— for MUZZYS I guess /sarc

Thank heavens for colonialism.
There are some very interesting consistent trends in all ancient cultures using human sacrifice, blood letting, pyramids, and the Tower of Babel.
It may well be the fact that the fallen angels, and their offspring, referred to as the Nephilim, had later progeny which also inherited their condemnation. Consistent trends in many ancient cultures indicate they placed Nephilim or their progeny as their kings and worshipped them.
Where they lacked spiritual life with God, they all recognized the life was in the blood and humans were His favorite above the angels.
In multiple ancient civilizations we witness an attempt to placate the ‘gods’ by building pyramids so as to approach the gods and then provide a blood sacrifice, to gain favor. In regards to the Nephilim and their progeny, it is as though they desperately wanted such sacrifice and sought the sacrifice eagerly.
Run a google search on Nephilim, Jude, Giants, and Enoch.
God does not do anything that is good for nothingness.
When considering pagan cultures which are wiped out from all existence, their are reasons for their demise.
Tower of Skulls. There’s a good name for a punk rock band.
It is also interesting how the leaders, the rich and those "in control" view and manipulate "the little people" within their society. Needless to say nothing has changed in 100's of years.
THAT is wonderful!!
Not all aboriginal peoples were bloodthirsty savages, several had quite sophisticated cultures and governments. In fact, many historians argue that our Constitution borrowed ideas from the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, of whom Ben Franklin was a student. Their ideas of personal freedom and self actualization were so strong, in fact, that of Englishmen who went to live with the Indians, Franklin wrote "English Colonial society had trouble maintaining its hold on many men once they had tasted Indian life."
So, were the Aztecs and Maya brutal bloodsoaked cultures? No doubt! Did they both have monumental architecture, written languages and sophisticated laws, customs and cultures? But of Course!
Were the Conquistadors Christians? In name only! For you cannot argue it is Christian to lie and murder for profit, steal anothers property, and replace the idolotry of Mictlantecuhtli and Quetzalcoatl with idolotry of Mary and Crucifixes. Did they stamp out bloodlust? Yes, only to replace it with their own version, for they killed indiscriminately, hunted indians with dogs for sport, raped the women, pillaged the land, and, like the English, destroyed every culture they contacted. And we, not they, replaced human sacrifice on the altar with human sacrifice in the PP "clinic".
I love my country, our constitutional government, and my way of life. But we must acknowledge the fact that our forefathers, like every culture and people group before them, have destroyed other cultures and people groups to take their land. It is the history of the world!
While this is quite unorthodox, and will be smirked at by many, I am in the same line of thought. There is too many remnants and hints in the ancient cultures of giants, chimeras, elongated skulls, bloodletting and pyramids. From Mississipian moundbuilders to Mayan Pyramids to pre-Incan megastructures, there is much we don’t know.
Your thoughts do not run contrary to The Word, but are supported by Scripture. But you probably will not hear about giants in church.
Coming soon to a temple near you.
