Its sad that such a wholesome, enlightened culture was decimated by those barbaric Europeans ...
The barbaric Roman Catholic Spanish who had been fighting muslims for half a millennium and not realizing that all cultures are equal, viewed the priests, the idols, the temples, and the sacrifices as Satanic and wiped them all of the face of the earth.
“iewed the priests, the idols, the temples, and the sacrifices as Satanic and wiped them all of the face of the earth.”
Dunno.
I’ve spent a long portions of my life in the desert SW of the USA (admittedly in various AF bases). Just look at those stone heads in the post above yours. And think of the skull decorations of “Dia de los Muertos” celebrations of Mexican Roman Catholics.
I think it all just got rebranded.
