Is this the goal of Aztlan fanatics - human sacrifices?

The fact that one culture wiped out another does not make the victor better, more valuable, or more worth studying than the vanquished.

Mexican archeologists have made the most significant Aztec find in decades, unearthing a 15th century altar and a huge stone slab at a ruined temple in the throbbing heart of Mexico City.

"Throbbing Heart", "Aztec Altar"? I get it! I get it!

Rome just got away from the basics. She abandoned the running game, as it were.

The Aztecs were defeated by a combination of alien technology & shrewd alliances. Cortez was able to 'divide & conquer'.

...or the tunnel contained Montezuma's long-lost Weapons-of-Mass-Destruction. IIRC, Cortez took a lot of heat from the Inquisition for his failure to find them.

Gag.

On an archeology thread?

Do you guys truly never ever give it a rest?

(sigh)

This is all just too demoralizing.

Sure it does. I could have a warped view, probably do, but the victor is superior by definition.

Edgar Allen Poe would be proud.

Very interesting find though.
