Date: February 1st, 2018 5:14 PM Author: Thriller pisswyrm nursing home Every year the Aztecs performed thousands of human sacrifices, and many sacrificial victims were prisoners who had been captured from neighboring tribes. Ordinarily you would expect a POW to resist being sacrificed, but it turns out that many Aztec sacrificial victims were required to perform special dances, lead chants, and perform other public spectacles. So prisoners who we sacrificed according to these rituals must have done so at least somewhat voluntarily. Also they must have either received instruction or have already known how to perform the required rituals. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3879013&forum_id=2betting#35298386) |

Date: February 1st, 2018 5:33 PM Author: white flickering nibblets hairy legs Xipe Totec Xipe Totec, known as "Our Lord the Flayed One," is the god of rebirth, agriculture, the seasons, and craftsmen.[34]
Xipe Totec was worshipped extensively during the festival of Tlacaxipehualiztli, in which captured warriors and slaves were sacrificed in the ceremonial center of the city of Tenochtitlan. For forty days prior to their sacrifice one victim would be chosen from each ward of the city to act as ixiptla, dress and live as Xipe Totec. The victims were then taken to the Xipe Totec's temple where their hearts would be removed, their body dismembered and their body parts divided up to be later eaten. Prior to their death and dismemberment the victims skin would be removed, and worn by individuals who traveled throughout the city fighting battles and collecting gifts from the citizens. [35] |

At best, some archaeologists looked at carvings of hunters and jaguars and stars and stuff and said "ah yes they are describing the ancient ritual of tixtuopec in which they believed the jaguar was the pathway to the heavens if the hunters consume them."
Imagine if some future archeologist went into a cathedral and looked at the stained glass windows of Daniel in the Lion's Den and wrote a bunch of faggy internet articles about our kooky tradition of sacrificing the bravest warrior to lions every year. |

Date: December 7th, 2019 10:07 PM Author: Thriller pisswyrm nursing home As I stated above, Aztecs believed certain forms of death guaranteed an easy passage into the afterlife. Ritual sacrifice bring one of them, dying in battle was another. The worst thing that could happen to you was to lose a battle but NOT die, and then live on to old age. There was a lot of cross-polinization among prehistoric mexican tribes and a lot of them ended up worshipping variants of the same God, so it's entirely conceivable that they would have shared the Aztecs' beliefs about this.

I think anyone trying to reverse engineer Teotihuacan would conclude that they likely had some kind of compulsory education. Also the Aztecs themselves did not become scholarly until they settled on the lake. Prior to that time they were nomads the other mexican civs like the Zapotecs looked down on. Aztecs had to work to earn the respect of these other tribes. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3879013&forum_id=2betting#45191129) |
