O knihe
Human sacrifice was an aspect of historical Aztec
culture/religion, although the extent of the practice is
debated by scholars. The Spaniards who first met the
Aztecs
explicitly stated in their writings that human
sacrifice was
widely practiced in Mesoamerica. For example, Bernal
Díaz's
The Conquest of New Spain includes eye-witness
accounts of
the remains of sacrificial victims. In addition,
there are a
number of second-hand accounts of human sacrifices
written
by Spanish friars, told to them by native eye-witnesses.
Presently, scholars largely accept that human
sacrifice was
practised in the Aztec Empire as well as throughout
pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. Since the late 1970s,
excavations
of the offerings in the Great Pyramid of Tenochtitlan,
Teotihuacán's Pyramid of the Moon and other
archaeological
sites have provided physical evidence of human sacrifice
among the Mesoamerican peoples.
