I've had Mayan tourist guides at both Tulum and Chitzen Itza describe the culture apologetically, and I don't need an apology.
The culture was brutal, and it can't be denied. At least by anyone who shouldn't be called a fool.
Ditto. I remember standing in front of the large sacrificial table at Chichen Itza with skulls engraved all the way around the table while the guide tried to say that maybe 20 or 30 people were sacrificed. Total.
