A mysterious palace that was home to a bloodthirsty and wealthy ruler some 2,300 years ago has been discovered in Mexico.
The incredible building was once the home and business center for the ruler of an ancient empire that predates the Aztecs, scientists have claimed.

Disgusting culture.
We do too.
It's called Planned Parenthood.
A room?
feh.
We’ve got whole cities like Chicago.
We have something similar. Abortion centers.

No, but Satan is.
THAT’S what they were doing while everyone ELSE mapped the stars, predicted the atom, devised logic and metaphysics, developed mathematics, drama, science, music, medicine, etc.
I remember reading about Sir R. F. Burton’s journey through Africa VERY the late in the 19th century.
Coming upon a native village, the chief was friendly and welcomed them to stay. Travelers were given their own hut, food and servants. In the morning they found a murdered tribe member at their doorstep. The chief said that it was a usual compliment to outsiders and a message to them of how powerful the chief was. He could dispose of anyone he wanted in any way he wanted.
they pioneered cardiac surgery.
The Spanish arriving there was the same as the Allies rolling into Nazi death camps. The often vilified Spanish who wiped them out are heroes.
I’m not a catholic fanboy, or Spanish by heritage. But those European Christian Spanish were rightly horrified by what they discovered happening.
We still see vestiges of that murderous culture to this day in the cartels.
Everyone should read the only firsthand account of the Discovery and Conquest of Mexico by Bernal Diaz.
He was a foot soldier with Cortez. There are a few letters from Cortez to the emperor of Spain, and a very limited account that is contemporary in Mexico.
Diaz’ account is chock full of human sacrifice and cannibalism as practiced by the Aztecs and surrounding tribes.
The Clinton family lineage goes way back.
I’ll bet that just about every palace 2300 years ago had a special room for killing people.
This is a bunch of BS. I hate how the interpretation of a few spanish friars turns everything Mayan and Aztec into a human torture/sacrifice. Its all complete BS and if you go down there and talk to the people they will tell you the same thing.
they had wars too. people were captured and killed. doesn’t mean they didn’t deserve it. The spanish came to conquer during the time of Torquemada. anything and everything was used in the justification of pacification and extermination. even made up stories about the blood thirsty maya.

A welcome republication of one of the enduring works of the sixteenth century. This edition was originally drawn by Genaro Garcia from the only exact copy of the original manuscript and published in Mexico in 1928. The book is a stirring eyewitness narrative by a foot soldier in the Cortez expedition who participated in all the battles, victories, and near-disasters that befell the Spaniards as they met, fought, and sought to comprehend the extraordinary world their very presence was soon to shatter. Diaz saw both the splendor and the collapse of the Mesoamerican civilizations. In old age, from his vantage point in Guatemala’s old capital, he wrote the story down as he remembered it, in simple, declarative prose. Diaz’s magnificent history is fresher and more readable than ever. It also gives full credit, albeit in a backhanded way, to the warriors who opposed the Spaniards, a respect earned after many fierce encounters and not a few wounds. The conquest in Diaz’s account is never the inevitable collapse of indigenous resistance before superior European arms that is still too often recounted by modern historians who have forgotten to look at the original sources. One historian who has not forgotten, Hugh Thomas, introduces this edition with an erudite and enthusiastic preface. A. P. Maudsley’s translation preserves all the simplicity and directness of the original. Anyone interested in the story of the Americas should begin here.

That sounds interesting. Time for some google-fu.
Right on, Right on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The left condemns Christianity but worships murderous savage culture.
"What room are we going to put the system in?"
"The slicing room."
The slicing room?"
"Yes"
"Got it. Thank you"
We still have no idea what a slicing room is.
They Mayan and Aztec were peace loving hippies compared to the Europeans, Arabs, and Turks of that time.
