Aztecs butchered, ate Spanish invaders

The Tecuaque archeological site near Mexico City has yielded the skeletal remains of 550 victims who apparently had their hearts ripped out by Aztec priests in ritual offerings, and were dismembered or had their bones boiled or scraped clean.

This is a surprising finding because it documents and support accounts of Aztecs capturing and killing a caravan of Spanish conquistadors and local men, women and children traveling with them in revenge for the murder of Cacamatzin, king of the Aztec empire's No. 2 city of Texcoco.

Archaeologists say the discovery proves some Aztecs did resist the conquistadors led by explorer Hernan Cortes, even though history books say most welcomed the Conquistador horsemen in the belief they were returning Aztec gods.

Director of the dig at Calpulalpan in Tlaxcala state, near Texcoco, Enrique Martinez says,

"This is the first place that has so much evidence there was resistance to the conquest. It shows it wasn't all submission. There was a fight."

Martinez added,

"It was a continuous sacrifice over six months. While the prisoners were listening to their companions being sacrificed, the next ones were being selected. You can only imagine what it was like for the last ones, who were left six months before being chosen, their anguish."

The captives were kept in cages for months while Aztec priests from what is now Mexico City selected a few each day at dawn, held them down on a sacrificial slab, cut out their hearts and offered them up to various Aztec gods.

Forensic analysis on the remains have shown knife cuts and even teeth marks on the bones show which ones had meat stripped off to be eaten. Some pregnant women in the group had their unborn babies stabbed inside their bellies as part of the ritual.

Tecuaque, the name of the site and town, in indigenous Nahuatl, means "where people were eaten," and was named fittingly by Cortes before he sent his forces to wipe out the Aztecs.

He must have been popular, unlike any of our current leaders.

I just find it so bizarre that such a technologically advanced society, with beautiful cities and a good knowledge of astronomy would have such horrifying customs.

It's like something out of a science-fiction movie.

The thing about aliens is, they're alien.

Removal of hearts and cannibalism sure has circumcision beat.

OTOH, Xhosa speakers, disproportionatly represented in the ANC, also practice circumcision.

Coincidence?

Tauzero is right; they have alien mentalities.

Many Americans are deluded that everyone in the world is a potential American who justs needs a better haircut and to get rid of their ridiculous clothes. That's not true, at all.

It's why our attempts to remake societies in our image never works. The only way it can work is to wipe everyone out and destroy the society completely, which is essentially what was done with the Aztecs. It's why I have no sympathy for the loss of alien murderous cultures, such as some American Indian tribes were.

Well, in order to hit the ground running in an organized, professional and military manner the Conquistadors had to execute a simple but shocking plan.

"Let's grab El Queso Grande (The Big Cheese) and kill him and show these non Catholics who's boss!", some no doubt recommended.

At some point that became THE PLAN, and the natives responded in a predictably hostile manner. And, being the efficient people that the natives were it wasn't like them to let perfectly good stewing meat to go to waste, so...

Please do say more. It is endlessly fascinating to hear about our cultural superiority.

I said the exact opposite.

Let us never forget that the "Sephardim" (Spanish) Jews were also the inquisitors for the Pope under Torquemada.

History will eventually portray these lying vermin for the murderous cult they have always been from the time of Babylon, where they truly originated ... [see the BABYLONIAN TALMUD, operating manual for world dominance].

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

Samuel Adams
