The religious establishment as a whole stood aloof from the commoners, and the commoners feared them and were content to stay below their radar. Nevertheless, the commoners did vicariously take part in some religious celebrations, like the new calendar year celebration. They would sacrifice doves as their part of the observance. So the general practice of sacrifice was not entirely foreign to the lower strata of Aztec society. But they understandably didn't want to BE the sacrifice!

Very informative. It’s the most detailed of anything I’ve read about the rituals of the Aztecs. I’ve read ‘The Golden Conquistadors’, and the descriptions quoted by witnesses at the time describe the enormous numbers sacrificed in just one ceremony.

The Aztec cosmology of blood needed human sacrifice which was met by incessant warring to secure prisoners, and there are enough Aztec records to verify the practice and numbers.

As such, I still stand my comment about being careful with some of the numbers which have been estimated as high as 80,000 in a one month period in some cases. Also, as I pointed out in my comment, most of the Aztec, Mayan and other Codices of the Mesoamerican cultures were destroyed by the Spanish Priest and it was not until later that they began to write about the religious and social aspects of human sacrifices in the Mesoamerican cultures. Therefore, many of the sources still tended to be second hand. cannibalisms which the Aztecs participated in, and the cosmology of the Saints, and its appeal to the Mesoamericans, I agree with you.

5,000 war captives were shot full of arrows on top of the war sun god temple and fell off the temple 150 feet high. A huge fire of burning logs were waiting down below. As they fell into the fire they would jump up and run out of the scalding fires. Waiting Aztec warriors would then. Beat them to death. This was the most horrific of ceremonies

YHWH likely demanded human sacrifice in Canaan. Moloch refers to a method of sacrifice where someone would be burned on an altar. When the Canaanite religion developed into monotheism, the wind/war god Yahweh's demand for the sacrifice of the first-born son became the evil Canaanite practice of child sacrifice condemned by the Judean tribal god YHWH. In fact the Judeans were Canaanites and not foreigners to this region. What's more, among the different accounts of why child sacrifice is condemned, the biblical authors cannot even agree, likely because it was a post-hoc justification for stopping an old practice.

I always wonder, who made up these practices. Initially, someone or a group decided 1. there are different gods 2. what these gods do or are responsible for 3. what these gods want 4. what will it take to satisfy them. The initial founders had to make all this stuff up or did they just get high or hammered and that's where it came from?

The sacrificial-based religion probably predated human habitation in the Valley of Mexico. It may have originated among the Aztec's remote ancestors before they crossed the Bering Strait from Eurasia. Seems like I read something about an oral tradition about the first Mexica nomads to enter the Valley. They had a mummified hawk that they revered as an avatar of the war god. In life, the hawk had probably been kept by shamans who fed it doves or other small animals. The gods, their functions and their respective priesthoods probably grew up gradually, changing in response to their interactions with other groups and different places. The sedentary life that the lake in the Valley of Mexico provided allowed the priesthoods to burgeon and acquire a growing amount of resources and political power. Powerful enough that a separation of church and state was unthinkable. Every emperor had to take the agenda and maneuverings of the various priesthoods into account before he acted.

After the fall of the Aztecs indigenous prisoners suffering from pandemics were sadistically tortured, incidents that were supported by European clergymen, and those that survived were worked to death as slaves and replaced by slaves shipped from Africa. Some apologists try to rationalise it and justify it by saying it wasn’t their intention to kill them because they needed their slave labour to enrich themselves. Well if they were such humanitarians simply not enslaving and working them to death would probably have prevented them from dying. But stealing the wealth of Latin America and becoming wealthy took precedence over the lives of people that were suffering from introduced diseases. Had the indigenous allies known what lay ahead in the future they may have made different decisions.

I think Cochran from Halloween III best describes sacrifice, "for us it was a way of controlling our environment." To which it was hypocritical for colonials to deplore these acts as war/genocide is just a sophistaced form of population control. The Aztecs carried on these rituals because no one could understand why so many meso American cities were failing. They became over populated, local Forrests and livestock drained, therefore too many hungry and resentful people. We really ought naught to judge them too harshly as we are on the verge of facing a severe supply crisis. After all we still guzzle fossil fuels, and well, that has already led to war. Granted no one will be sacrificed to Rockefeller, but i still see war on the horizon

Omg! I watched the movie ‘Apocalypto’ in 2008 - this is what they did in it. In 2020, 4 members in my family did a Dna test. My mother is 1% mesoamerican. This week I looked into their history.

600 plus skulls and 20,000 per year was what he said. The sacrifices were requisitioned on a regular basis from surrounding tribes the Aztecs had conquered. This constant threat of death was one of the reasons the tribes joined Cortez to fight the Aztecs. The neighboring tribes willingly assisted Cortez when they saw he would fight the Aztecs and more importantly win. He also showed the allied tribes he would return and fight with them when the Aztecs attacked them. Read "History of the Conquest of Mexico" by William Prescott written in 1843. What Cortez did is so epic it should be made into a movie. If it wasn't backed up by so many facts it would be deemed unbelievable.

In Inca culture offerings are an important part of our world, we believed that the greatest offering of all was offering ourselves to spare another since obviously we must kill in order to survive and we believed gods saw it as an admirable noble cause and seen with great respect to offer your vessel instead as sacrifice rather than eat something that must die for you. We didn’t believe one had more value than the other like western culture that considers animals not to have a soul practically almost wiping out the buffalo. We believed if we took more than what we needed that it angered the gods and for forgiveness we offered our own species which represented mortality meaning we are powerless and aware we can’t have it all forever. But yet we try despite we are mortal due to lust for power and greed. And if one wants an empire you will murder a lot to achieve it, the more you take from the gods the more you will kill. Power in itself comes with a price with plenty of humans sacrificed to achieve that power due to war. the only difference we tried to reason with the Gods.
