A most excellent TV series. I actually thought it was better than
Game of Thrones.

Limited access to hot water and soap? Just speculating. As somebody who works on cars a lot, I know it’s difficult to clean up without warm water. Cold water just doesn’t work well.

There is only one way to determine if it can actually be done. Any volunteers?

It can be done, but whether or not the victim would be alive during the process is a different question.............

The ritual allegedly involved carving the victim's back open and cutting their ribs away from their spine, before the lungs were pulled out through the resulting wounds. Sounds like a lot of work.

The Aztecs were every bit as violent and cruel as the Vikings.
To: Red Badger
Well it was a lot of work.
We don’t realize how lucky we are to just turn the handle for hot water.
But Brandon’s energy policies will probably change that back, either we won’t be able to afford it OR the power will be off.

The Aztecs and Incas would have considered this barbaric ritual as part of a long apprenticeship. Something a new priest would do to get his fingers wet and prove himself worthy to perform annual sacrifices, thereby insuring a bountiful harvest.

The Aztecs were every bit as violent and cruel as the Vikings.As is modern day Africa.

But if you look at paintings of the era, where the general population was depicted, they were not filthy dirty people.............
