ROFLMFAO!
I made this discovery in New Zealand. The indigenous people of North Island enjoyed a climate that allowed them to grow the traditional Polynesian crops they were used to. But on chilly South Island the tribes - identical ancestry - could not grow enough of the foods they were used to to survive. They did, however, own the supply of jade, prized on both islands.
So did a trade of food for jade develop? Nope: the North Islanders, being short of protein in a country with no native animals whatever, simply added a new item to their diets - South Islanders. They're what's for dinner!
I am not one bit sorry this culture was wiped out. Hurray for Spain!
Plus Ultra!
They should have saved their knives and their aggression for the Spaniards, instead of using it on their own innocent citizens.
They were convinced they had it coming because they had done something to anger their gods. Just like the liberals of today are convinced we did something wrong to bring about 9-11. The proposed solutions are not dissimilar. The Incas sacraficed their own people to these false gods. The liberals propose to sacrafice western civilization to appease the false gods of radical Islam.
But did they find any high priests with their heads chopped off? Nope? Didn't think so.
The original jihadist barbarian certainly lived it.
And I thought of how absolutely angry I got in the days following 9-11.
And how, even if you aren't a noble person (like Cortez) and you come
from an imperfect society (like 1500s Spain)...
you can still spot the savages.

INDEED.
. . . though . . . much more difficult is spotting the savagry in the heart of each of us . . . that usually requires Holy Spirit's deep search light in many cases . . . and/or unusual circumstances.
They musta learned this from the white man...

See post #14.
What will future archeologists say, when they dig up the dumpsters where our aborted babies are deposited?
WE have our own mass-scale human sacrifice industry/ritual. The "temples" are Planned Parenthood clinics and other charnel houses where infants are sacrificed to the diabolical powers that our society worships.
You are so very correct.
You are absolutely correct. By God's mercy Europe will rediscover its Christian roots, and America will somehow retain what remains of our Christian heritage. For both of us, the alternative is unimaginable darkness.
One other interesting part of the series (link below) was the final episode.
It mentioned how the worst abuses of the Native Americans by the Spaniards
was brought to an end only after a long lobbying effort by some priests.
I've been out of school many years, but I wouldn't be suprised if that
part of the story is left out of today's history textbooks.

These Peruvian indigenous peoples were serious pagans propitiating their idols with human victims. Though I'm sure the Aztecs had them beat
Judaism got it's start as a rebellion against pagan human sacrifice
