Scientists, led by study co-author Sara Juengst at the University of North Carolina's department of anthropology, discovered the remains at a site called Salango, in Ecuador, and published their findings recently in the journal Latin American Antiquity.

The researchers believe this is the only known instance of children's skulls being used as helmets for the burial of infants, and they don't know what killed the infants and children.

When the “socieites” engaged in human sacrifice, can you really be shocked by anything else you find out they did?

Those wacky “indigenous people” did some weird s**t. Now we’ve got a “Day” here in America to celebrate all the weird s**t they used to do.

Mesoamerican civilizations were demonic. The Mayans, the Incas, and especially the Aztecs were despicable cultures that practiced human sacrifice on a grand scale. The leftist concept of “cultural relativism” where all cultures are equal is a lie that is part of their con on the world.

Egads is right. If Mel Gibsons movie Apocalypto has any accuracy to it at all these people were nothing short of satanic IMO.

Speaking of the Aztecs, San Diego State University’s Aztecs had to fight to keep its name, but in a compromise had to give up its warrior Aztec logo in favor of an interlaced S, D, and arrow. The charge was apprropriation of another’s culture and demonstraring disrespect of the bloodthirsty Aztecs.
