Notice the roads, cultivated fields, communal society and the food storage structures. All indicative of a high level of civilization.

Are these savages?

No.

One hundred years later or less, after the devastation caused by the plagues brought by the Europeans, all this was destroyed, and they were reduced to what appeared to be savagery.

It was mass starvation in reality.

Sacrificing a child to the chief. Note the European.

They offer their first-born son to the chief. On the day of the sacrifice, the chief goes to the place dedicated to that purpose. There he takes his seat on a bench. Not far off is a tree stump about two feet high and as many thick, in front of which the mother of the first-born son squats on her heels, her face covered with her hands in sorrow. One of her women friends or relatives then offers the child to the chief in worship. After the offering is made the women who have accompanied the mother dance in a circle around the stump with great demonstrations of joy. In their midst, singing the chief's praises, dances the woman who holds the child. Near by stands a group of six Indians. They surround a magnificently decorated man holding a club. It is he who will perform the sacrifice. When the dance ends, he takes the infant and kills it on the wooden stump in honor of the chief. I saw this ritual performed once while I was there.

Notice the Sun worship. Typical really. Child sacrifice was pretty normal as far as I can tell in many cultures, esp the US of A in the 2000's.

You have to give G-d your most valuable possession, and that would be your child. Seems the OT had a story similar, but stopped it.

One might assume that child sacrifice was demanded by the Hebrews in most ancient of times and the story of G-d forbidding it was a way for some enlightened scribes to try to stop it.

This is me talking I have no evidence of that, I don't think anyone else does to the contrary tho. Just fits.
