While I am happy to see Columbus’ account corroborated, I greatly dislike Modern Archaeologists who always start from the presumption that historical accounts are false. Presumably Since they are more “evolved” than their ancestors, they know more than the people who were actually there...

I wonder if they preferred BBQ sauce made with tomatoes or with vinegar? Or perhaps some horse radish?

They always have this mental fallacy of “everyone lived in peace back then” when going into things.
So they get gobsmacked when, for example, they found butchered human remains in the US southwest.
Or the skeleton of a child that had an arm severed and scattered..
They think everyone sang kumbaya and held hands, that violence is a modern invention.

I thought this was already relatively well established.

Amen!

In the last 120 years archaeologists have taken the position that Biblical accounts are to be consulted last, because they are considered the most unreliable. There are cases where some yahoo contemporary with Biblical history has posted an inflated history of their importance and historical significance and any detail in their rant is considered gold compared with the writings of Biblical authors.

I see that wiki flakcatchers er fakcheckers claim that it was enemies of the Karankawa indians who claimed they were cannibals.

They still can’t cover up human sacrifice in the western hemisphere

Ancient peoples who lived on small islands had a problem controlling their population to match the available resources. A good way to do that is to capture their enemies, enslave the women and children, and eat the men. Problem solved. Repeat as necessary. It wasn’t fair and it was racist, but life was a bitch back in the day.

Dr. Reg Murphy, who led a team of researchers from Syracuse University, Farmingdale State College, and Brooklyn College, told The Guardian that their analysis of Carib diets found “no evidence that they ever ate humans”.

You usually are not going to find evidence of cannibalism by examining the diet of a people.

Cannibalism is typically part of a religious rite that follows a battle.

I was visiting a park in Arizona where the Indians had to climb a sheer face with footholds so narrow no one was allowed to go to the top. The top of the mesa could have been defended by an old lady with a rock. Everything they drank and ate or stored had to be carried up by this precarious route or raised up in a basket. A bronze plaque read something like, “Obviously, the Indians lived up here because of the wonderful view.” I laughed out loud. They obviously lived up there for defense.

In the museum were human remains and a card said they had knife marks on them. I don’t think the word cannibal was used on any of these displays. That wouldn’t have fit the narrative of how wonderful, peaceful and loving and respecting of their women they were. The female bones had stress marks indicating a lifetime of heavy work, which somehow did not fight with the narrative of how idyllic their life was.

Some of the glowing literature concerning how wonderful and peaceful these people were was gagging. Whoever wrote it came to the job with a preconceived notion that modern culture is bad and the brutish short lives that were depicted in the glass cases was somehow idyllic.

Yes, the myth of man in the garden of paradise, in his natural state, being invaded by the Western Civilization, the corruption of the natural state. The Left is very slick in their propaganda to trick the allegiance of the ignorant. So pathetic. I miss my Columbus Day.

after the aztecs slaughtered their prisoners on their temple pyramids, they rolled the bodies to the bottom. The heads legs, arms and torsos were separated. The arms and legs used to make a stew for the people, and the heads put onto pikes (skull racks), the torsos were used to feed wild pigs (javelinas) which would later be consumed by the public.

About 4- years before the spanish arrived, they had an “anniversary” of the temple, and slaughtered 84,000 in one year this way. That is 2,333 or so per day. Every day.
