Have all of you forgotten the Aztecs, Incas, and
the Mayans?
The other Indian tribes welcomed Cortez to Mexico
because of Aztec brutality. They gave him an interpreter, Malinche, who became his mistress. Cruel as the conquistadors were--they did not demand tributes of the youngest and most handsome for gruesome sacrificial rituals.
Tiemplo Mayor had an altar where, in Aztec times, one could see an unending line of of these victims going to die by having their hearts gouged out
by a priest wielding an obsidian knife. Their
hearts were tossed into a cauldron filled, at all
times, with hearts newly hacked out. The bodies
were tossed to the population for food with the
thighs reserved for the Aztec nobility. Later, their
skullls were carefully arranged on the huge platform
of skulls.
Some of the most handsome were especially reserved to be skinned alive. The Aztec priests
would dance around wearing these skins as a
special offering to the flower god of spring.
Yes, they did have huge botanical gardens dedica-
ted to discovering the medicinal uses of plants.
They believed in something called, "The Doctrine
of Signatures." This means like to like or if a leaf
resembles a hand, use it to treat hand problems.
They found plants that were effective by doing
Nazi-like experiments on other, unwilling human
tributes from the other tribes. It took 1000's of
lives to make a discovery this way.
In this month's issue of the Smithsonian magazine,
(March 2006), there is an article about a Mayan
ball game still played in remote Mexican villages.
There is fear that the game may vanish. In Mayan
days if your team lost, you were all killled.
Or have you forgotten about the numerous cenotes
found all through the Mayan areas? Remember,
they were used as places to sacrifice countless
women while also tossing in jade, silver, and gold
trinkets. Also, if you examine the murals, which any tourist may when visiting the Mayan temples still
standing, you will see depicted the slashing of the
male genitalia practiced by the Mayan aristocrats
as blood offerings to the gods.
Until recently, Mayan writing was not decipherable
so archeologists et al just made up a theory that
the Mayans were peace-loving astronomers. Actually, we now know that the writing is
about endless war. Three Rabbit killed etc., some
think that the reason that the Mayan empire collapsed so completely is that it was sapped from
within by the total, endless state of war.
As for the Incas, do not forget that they also
practiced human sacrifice. They sacrificed CHILDREN! These children seem to have been chosen from among the nobles for their beauty.
Many of their mummified remains have been recovered from the heights of the Andean mountains. Upon examining these remains, scientists have been able to determine that the
children were made to walk vast distances while
barefoot to the sites of their deaths. When they
arrived, the backs of their heads were bashed in.
Then, in their lovely clothes, they were made into a
small bundle wrapped in the beautifully woven fabrics made by the Incas. Their small bodies
were basically freeze-dried by the conditions of
the high mountains.
I would not be at all surprised if there were not
many needy souls lingering and needful of
retrieval in any of these areas.
