The ancient
Aztecs make today's Islamists look like wimps.

Interesting discovery at central Mexico's largest pyramid. If I'm not mistaken, the pyramid of the Sun (which I climbed in 1959) is much larger than the pyramid of the Moon.
They are both in Teotihuacan

Interesting discovery at central Mexico's largest pyramid. The Pyramid of the Sun is the largest and it is also at Teotihuacan. Chichen Itza's Mayan Pyramid is rather large and I don't know if it is larger than the Pyramid of the Moon.

Much of their the way they lived (and died) are brought to life in Gary Jennings historical novel "AZTEC". It's a good read!

Yes, you're right. Hub and I climbed them in 1971.

It's kind of interesting that the archaeologists just now discovered the bodies. What have they been doing all these years.
BTW, a tour guide once told me that they discovered a secret tunnel under the pyramid of sun. In it, they found a body. They don't show this part to the tourists. Not sure why.

Teotehuacán dates back about 1500 years before the Aztecs. These pyramids are remains of the "Tolteca" culture, about which almost nothing is known, but who the Aztecs (who were a wandering tribe that only arrived in Central Mexico in the 13th century, AD) claimed as their ancestors... and as the first great civilization. The "Toltecs" (we have no idea what these people called themselves, so use the Aztec name for them -- "the builders") were thought to have been a highly peacable people (Aztec legends associate them with Quetzecoatl, a man turned God who rejected human sacrifice, preached the need for love and understanding -- and was born of a virgin mother! Sound familiar? It did to the first Spanish missionaries here too!). Archeologists always ASSUMED that Teotehuacáno sacrifices were small birds and butteflies. So, signs of human sacrifice are startling news.
Either that, or SOMEBODY really objected to the #$%& Wal-Mart store going up just outside the protected site.

The Aztecs have been well-known to have conducted human sacrifice. I'm not sure what's new except for more remains. Exactly. The story goes that when Cortez arrived there, he scraped layers of dried blood from the side of the pyramid with his sword. Very bloody.

Yikes; I stand corrected. I thought the muslims were the most murderous subhuman filth. But I'm wrong.
Seems though, the lowlife subhuman murderous muslim garbage do it out of pleasure via the pigshit koran, while the Aztecs... I'm not sure why they did it. Need to do some research, M-T-R.

The International Red Cross is investigating AND the ACLU suggests these were homosexual hate crimes...

the french did not stop beheading people until the 1970s.
paul gauguin, the post-impressionist artist, ran with a sketch book to a public beheading, anxious to capture the event on paper. i believe this was ~1890.

"Aztecs were not around 2000 years ago."
Worth repeating your post. The find isn't about the Aztecs.
