Did you see the National Geographic dig at the base of the main Temple of Mexico City a while back, fresh meat coming down the steps, buttocks, legs, and the meaty parts of the arms cut off, add chilli's, tomatoes and mix, read Gibbon for Aztec stew.

I didn't see that one. I did see one on the Chaco Canyon region in New Mexico, I think it was on Nova.

Anyways, this archaeologist type fellow had found some pretty significant evidence that pointed to cannibalism, garbage pits with human bones, tool/knife marks on the bones and such. Well the local Native-Americans were like; "Nope, never happened" and didn't even want to look at the evidence. It seems that they were convinced that since there wasn't any mention of cannibalism in their oral history, it must never have happened. Of course, that's the nice thing about relying only on an oral history...you only have to pass along the parts you like.
