Meh.its not like the Aztecs were saints. People fought people and to..


the victors when the slaves.

I'm not sure it was much different in most places across the globe 500 years ago.

When the Aztecs waged war, they did not try to kill their adversaries. Rather, they captured soldiers and brought them back home to the sacrificial block at the top of a pyramid—where priests cut open their chests, extracted their hearts and offered the warrior’s heart to the sun god. Ever see Apocolypto?

This is not a reference to Columbus per say...but just the entire narrative of the Spanish coming here and raping and a pillaging. Not like they were alone in the practice
