That is....seriously sick.
From the continued second page:
Whether the children died a violent death remains a debate among scientists. Skull fractures have been found on most of the sacrificial mummies. Johan Reinhard, who admits Juanita, too, has a skull fracture on the back of her head, believes this was a quick and painless means of knocking the children out so that they wouldn't have to suffer a long and grueling death of exposure to the elements. He believes the children were knocked out with a blow to a cushioning towel on the backs of their heads.
Ahhh!How thoughtful of them!
Human sacrifice was the norm in Pre-columbian civilizations, although Latin Americans refuse to talk about it and many are in deep denial that it happened. It went on for centuries, and only ended with the Spanish (not that the Spanish didn't do their fair share of slaughter when they arrived, but it was not ritual slaughter to ensure that the sun came up each day.) Read up on the Aztecs and other meso-American cultures. Check out the Temple of Skulls at Chichen Itza (Maya) or the sacrifical knives at the Templo Mayor in Mexico City (Aztec) or the wall painting of the torture and killing of defeated enemies at Bonampak (Maya again). Or read up on the children who were buried alive by Incas for sacrifical purposes. This is the mindset that Morales brings to government, make no mistake. Whipping would be the least of it.
