Are these ancestors of people who today have violent traits?

According to my Mexican guide about 10 years ago, ritual sacrifice was a Spanish propaganda tool. The Maya were a peaceful people. No human sacrifice ever took place in their civilization.

She grimaced when I laughed aloud.

Ding Ding Ding Maya also. Olmec & Toltec. Not sure how bloodthirsty the last 2 were. These drug cartels can easily give ISIS a run for the money regarding who’s the more violent. It’s not ‘’everyone’’ but there is a violent culture in Mexico with regard to torture & methods of killing.
