Sick bastages. I’m glad that Inca “culture” is dead and gone, a horrifying relic of the Human Race’s barbarous past.

Of course, I hope that my grandkids can say the same about the sick bastages of the ROP, who have a different and no less gruesome means of child sacrifice and intimidation of the local population.

Forensic anthropology/archaeology. Ain’t it great. Sure beat the digging I had to do on Indian villages and gravesites.

Hated pottery shards. No superglue to work with.

Once the US becomes Azatlan, child sacrifice will be very “in”, though mostly for gringo children.

"Although some may wish to view these grim deaths within the context of indigenous belief systems, we should not forget that the Inca were imperialists too..."

Aware of the horror of this reductio ad absurdum of multicultural relativism, he coaches any less savvy multicultural allies who would fall into a kneejerk defense. There is a loophole they can use to avoid the strength of the Judeo-Christian Western counterargument.

They were militaristic imperialists (like Bush) and therefore were bad. Not for murdering little 10-year-old girls.

Did you see Mel Gibson's film about the Aztecs? When the Spanish galleons show up in the final scene, you breathe a sigh of relief because you know Western civilization has arrived to end the blood craziness of the natives. I think this was Mel's unstated but very deliberate message.

children as young as 6-years old were "fattened up" and taken on a pilgrimage to their death.

Too bad this tranquil eden was spoiled by the intrusion of the European serpent ...

Achiote is not a hallucinogenic drug. It’s a very common spice used mostly as coloring (annato).

It is red, but no amount is going to get you high. I can get it at my local grocery store. The only search engine hits relating achiote to a hallucinogen are this article!

The earlier articles I read about the boy said that he’d been killed by having rocks packed around him, crushing him and rapidly sucking heat out of his body. You’d have to go a stretch to dislocate hips by tightening clothes.

I see problems with this article.

The Maiden, described as a "perfect mummy" went on display for the first time last month in Salta, northwest Argentina.

"If I were single, I'd ask that mummy out. That's one good looking mummy."
