These Peruvian indigenous peoples were serious pagans propitiating their idols with human victims. Though I'm sure the Aztecs had them beat
Judaism got it's start as a rebellion against pagan human sacrifice

About 20 years ago now a source book for much Cortez's story was translated into English for the first time and published. The books name is the Conquest of New Spain by Bernal Diaz. He was one of Cortez lieutenants.
He says something that doesn't make it into the history books in school. The Aztecs priests would "act up" right in front of Cortez.
Apparently human sacrifice and homosexuality in the priesthood went hand in hand with Aztecs as it did with the Caananites. And too, Cortez's reaction was just the same as Moses.
