Sixteen feet (five meters) below street level in Mexico City, archaeologists have found a jumble of 1,789 bones from children, teenagers, and adults along with the complete skeleton of a young woman.
The burial, dating to the 1480s, lies at the foot of the main temple in the sacred ceremonial precinct of the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan, founded by the Aztecs in 1325. The Aztecs dominated central Mexico until falling to Spanish conquistadores in 1521.
Although several burials with multiple remains have been uncovered previously in this precinct, this is the first that includes human bones from such a wide span of ages.
The discovery offers a rare opportunity to study Aztec funerary rituals and religious beliefs. Few burials from that culture have come to light, most likely because they lie beneath modern buildings.

Yes, and child sacrifice has been an established norm for many historic civilizations. The god Moloch demanded newborn babies be burned alive to prove the allegiance of followers.
It almost seems like the same god/demon is at work in our times here in America. We are killing babies by the thousands quietly without notice. About 200 very late terms abortions are performed each year in a town a few miles from my home. No one cares or complains. These kids are in the 5th month and beyond.
The saline burns away the outer skin of the children. Abortion textbooks advise that the abortionists need to tell women that they may feel the baby kick a lot during "the procedure."
The pro-choicers argue that late term abortions are rare, but these are about one percent (or around 100,000). Teen age girls get pregnant then deny it until late in the pregnancy and when the parents find out they insist on killing the baby.
How can late term abortion be anything but a modern expression of ancient child sacrifice? Doubt it? Just do a Google image search for late term abortion.
Proof that the Aztecs had the opening of Batman before the Toltecs...
LOL!
